Lost Eidolons: Veil of the Witch

I enjoyed this game. The writing and story is good, and it fills a niche I haven't seen anywhere else. A rogue-like fire emblem-type game. But as an experienced player in the genre, both fire emblem and rogue-likes, the game is too easy. Yes, there are difficulty modifiers you can add, but none of them makes the game more interesting. It's mostly just numerical buffs and making certain things you use less effective. And the few actually unique modifiers are way too punishing to be enjoyable. If you're into that, be my guest, but punishing myself that way is not for me. It only took me three or four runs to beat the last boss for the first time, after which I lost interest in the game. I haven't even unlocked half the stuff in the game yet(story, classes, characters etc.), and I doubt I will. However, I've seen that other people have struggled with the game, so if you're not a fire emblem veteran like me you probably won't have the same experience I did. For the enjoyment I got, I feel it's slightly overpriced. But if you like fire emblem and rogue-likes, I'd still suggest you give it a shot. Especially if you can get it on sale.

Nach ein paar Anlaufschwierigkeiten, macht es jetzt echt Spaß. Die Kämpfe sind schön taktisch, aber trotzdem nicht unnötig kompliziert. Dazu kommt eine richtig gute düstere Atmosphäre und die Charaktere sind auch sympathisch.

TL;DR: A tactical roguelite with excellent combat, a strong narrative, and meaningful progression that successfully translates the Lost Eidolons formula into a new genre. The setting, themes, art direction, character designs, and music are all excellent. The darker fantasy aesthetic returns while carving out its own identity. There is plenty links to the first game, with a swap to an anime aesthetic. The narrative involves amnesia and adds to the roguelite structure. Its lore is tightly connected to the first game while telling a more focused story with a smaller cast of characters. Partnership levels return and give relationships meaningful long-term progression. An open-world camp is swapped for a selection skin which allows quick navigation between interactions to reduce downtimes. The roguelite elements are well implemented. Head out on expeditions with a party of five characters, encounter random events that can reward or punish along the way. Characters have unique interactions during these events that help mitigate some of the randomness. Acquire relics that dramatically alter builds and strategies. Characters do not regain health between battles, which forces carefully management of resources throughout an expedition. Character levels and weapon enchantments reset after each run, providing the familiar roguelite loop. Combat remains largely unchanged from the first title. The biggest improvement is abilities with cooldowns, which encourages more use. The armor and weapon triangle remains satisfying, while attacks from different angles and the Zone of Control system continue to add tactical depth. Characters have two weapons to adapt to different enemy types and battlefield situations. Larger enemies act like puzzles with multiple randomly assigned weaknesses that reward planning. After each expedition, upgrade at the altar and characters in the tavern while pursuing the many collectibles and milestones. These unlock passive benefits and additional resources to give every run a sense of progression. The tower adds modifiers to future runs.

I am happy to report that the second game in the series did not try to suck all the fun out of my gaming! If you are coming here straight after finishing (or trying to finish) the first game, you will find they share the same setting and basic combat system, some of the characters, but little else. This game lacks the comprehensive (and very long) story arc, but the combat system has been refined and balanced and is generally much better. I found the adjustments in the settings that suited me, and I enjoyably played through this game many times. This game has you do hours-long runs over and over (i.e. Dark Dungeon). After about ten runs, it started to get monotonous. That was still over 80 hours of game play for me. There is still enough back story to tie the theme together, make the transition from the first game, and set the tone for this game. I definitely got my money's worth out of this one!
