TOKYO – April 6, 2023 – LOST EPIC, the 2D Souls-like side-scrolling action RPG with fast-paced battles and hack-and-slash elements from publisher One or Eight and developer Team EARTH WARS, topples tyrannical deities on Nintendo Switch Thursday, April 20, 2023.
Take up arms in a war between gods and men as the God Slayer. Defy eternal beings and end the reign of fear imposed by the inhabitants of Sanctum. Seek out the evil rulers and their elite guardians in an interconnected, Metroidvania-like 2D world featuring character art by Namie (Fate/Grand Order, Arknights, Azur Lane).
Gear up and set upon the sacrilegious path to terminate the Pantheon of Six and free the humans from their torment. Slay enemies to gain Anima and upgrade weapons and magic abilities after each victorious battle with an extensive skill tree. Execute and combine Divine skills to deliver ungodly levels of damage with beautiful animations. Absorb the powers of slain deities to discover new ways to journey further into the heavenly domain.
With these newfound godlike attributes, return to previous locations to access once-unreachable areas and unravel the mysteries of the divinities and their hiding places. Venture onto side quests and engage in altercations against the Elite, and stumble upon heavenly hidden loot on the way towards redemption. Craft consumable items and memorize enemy attack patterns to thwart foes in punishing souls-like combat where one mistake can spell imminent doom.
Journey into Sanctum hand-in-hand with a fellow warrior in online cooperative multiplayer, and communicate with God Slayers around the world with visual-based stamps to overcome language barriers. Take on raid bosses in Sky-Reaching Spire, or answer the call of divine challenge with New Game+ featuring deadly encounters that yield new rewards.
LOST EPIC’s debut on Nintendo Switch features all the content introduced since the start of Early Access on Steam for PC including the 1.01.7 update. Explore all six worlds and the deadly Abyss, featuring the true final boss. Find The Eyes of God and discover new secrets previously hidden throughout Sanctum with new challenges, bosses, and Transcended Weapons. Play as an A.N.T.I. Soldier from EARTH’S DAWN, and show that bullets are more powerful than Gods with new gameplay elements, evasive Boost mechanics and long-range weaponry.
