Description

After a successful early access launch, Ocean Drive Studio’s acclaimed roguelite tactical RPG, Lost Eidolons: Veil of the Witch, is set to make its debut on additional platforms, including the ever-popular Nintendo Switch.

While an official release window has yet to be confirmed, the move signals Ocean Drive Studio’s commitment to broadening the game’s reach within the thriving tactical RPG community. Lost Eidolons: Veil of the Witch follows a gripping narrative centered on a traveler who awakens on a remote, haunted island, with no memory and a single proposition from a shadowy witch: accept her challenge and become her champion in exchange for the chance to reclaim one’s lost life.

Players must recruit a diverse party of allies and forge relationships while navigating a world rocked by war, supernatural threats, and high-stakes intrigue. Gameplay in Lost Eidolons: Veil of the Witch is defined by fast-paced, grid-based tactical combat.

Players face off against formidable adversaries, including zealous Imperial cultists and terrifying beings known as the Fallen.

Victory hinges on a deep array of strategic systems such as elemental interactions, weapon affinities, persistent character upgrades, environmental hazards, and over 200 unique skills.

The game encourages experimentation, with every run offering fresh challenges and the need to adapt through choice-driven random encounters. Featuring nine playable characters, the title offers players a wealth of opportunities for strategic customization and team-building.

There are more than 30 powerful relics to discover, each capable of producing dramatic shifts in gameplay dynamics.

This depth, paired with randomized encounters and a roguelite structure, ensures that no two journeys across the island are ever the same. As players advance, they not only piece together the memories and mysteries behind their own character but also uncover the stories and personal struggles of their party members.

Progression is tied to personal growth and relationship development, rewarding those who invest in the narrative as well as tactical mastery. Ocean Drive Studio, recognized for their innovative approach to tactical strategy titles, has highlighted their focus on both player agency and replayability with Lost Eidolons: Veil of the Witch.

A studio representative recently stated that the team prioritized providing meaningful choices and a challenging combat experience, ensuring that every playthrough offers fresh discoveries and tactical depth. When Lost Eidolons: Veil of the Witch launches on Nintendo Switch, it will be available as a digital download via the Nintendo eShop, further expanding the title’s presence following its earlier early access period.

As anticipation builds for the console release, fans can expect more updates and coverage in the lead-up to its arrival on Nintendo’s versatile handheld platform.
