Lost Flame is a modern roguelike game featuring unique and challenging turn-based combat. Find your way in the ruined kingdom of Hiraeth while fighting against legendary warriors of the past and spawn of the unfathomable Abysm.
Players actively dodge enemy attacks by simply walking away, as most foes telegraph their strikes. This encourages strategic positioning, as players must maneuver around the battlefield to avoid damage while looking for openings to counterattack. The turn-based nature of combat allows players to carefully time their movements, creating an engaging dance of attack and evasion.
Each weapon type grants access to a unique set of special attacks. For example, a longsword enables a sweeping slash that hits multiple tiles, while a short sword provides a lunge-and-strike ability. This variety prompts players to experiment with different weapon loadouts, as the optimal combat strategy depends on the specific attack patterns and movement options provided by their equipment.
The game features a diverse bestiary, including large, multi-tile creatures that require careful maneuvering to defeat. These unique foes often possess specific attacks and behaviors that players must learn to overcome. Defeating the formidable boss at the end of each area tests the player's mastery of the combat system and ability to manage limited resources.
Carefully balancing attacks, dodges, and item usage is crucial, as overexerting stamina leaves players vulnerable. Players must weigh the risks and benefits of their actions, fostering an additional layer of strategic depth to the combat.
Gear progression is a central aspect of the experience, with a wide variety of weapons, rings, and amulets to discover and equip. Each piece of gear has the potential to significantly alter the player's playstyle and capabilities, encouraging exploration and experimentation to find the most synergistic combinations.
While maintaining the challenge and depth expected of a traditional roguelike, the game's simple controls and focus on mastering the combat system make it an approachable experience for players new to the genre. The absence of complex character creation mechanics further contributes to an accessible entry point.
