A turn-based strategy game with some RPG elements where heroes but also ordinary units as well are able to gain levels, abilities, spells. I remember playing the campaign with my friends which was very challenging but also fun as it requires the player to adjust and develop tactics to advance and defeat the undead hordes and other foes. I would like to see this game on GOG because I believe it is an hidden little gem that should be preserved.
The very first game I fell in love with to the point of making spreadsheets and enjoying grinding sessions - breaking camp improved HP/MP regen while forcing the group to be stationary, but still allowed casting spells and participating in combat when approached by an enemy, so I stationed my parties at spawn points of one desert level and kept killing the respawning foes. The virgin moment of feeling like I beat the system.
It'd be magnificent to have this piece of my gaming history come back to life once more.
Lost OdysseyLost Odyssey is set in a world in which a "Magic-Industrial Revolution" is taking place. While magic energy existed in all living creatures beforehand, it suddenly became far more powerful thirty years before the beginning of the game. Because of this, it has affected society greatly, with devices called "Magic Engines" harnessing this power for lighting, automobiles, communication, and robots, among other uses. While previously only a select few could wield magic, many magicians gained the ability. However, such progress has also caused two nations to develop new and more powerful weapons of mass destruction. The kingdom of Gohtza and the Republic of Uhra (which recently converted from a monarchy). Uhra is building Grand Staff, a gigantic magic engine, while the heavily industrialized Gohtza actively pursues magic research of their own. A third nation, the Free Ocean State of Numara, remains isolated and neutral, though it is falling into disarray due to a general attempting to stage a coup d'etat. Uhra, at war with Khent, a nation of beastmen, sends its forces to the Highlands of Wohl for a decisive battle at the start of the game.Trending Open world
