Our take on Lost In The Shadows
Players who rely on dodging as a forgiving escape may hit a wall as soon as they mistime one: the game says a poorly timed dodge results in a hit. That timing requirement is the clearest point where its combat can become demanding.
What is Lost In The Shadows?
Lost In The Shadows is an action game about developing a character and fighting enemies in dungeons.
Combat centers on choosing when to use skills and dodge; mistimed dodges leave the character open to hits. Character progression includes gaining levels, assigning points, improving abilities, and obtaining items and upgrades. The game also includes expeditions with a team to confront the world’s evil.
