Lost Flame Reviews

An underrated gem which deserves more attention. This traditional rogue-like balances luck and skill extremely well. The game's immersive atmosphere and fluent combat do an exceptional solid job of emulating the feel and atmosphere of a souls-like. Not for the feint of heart, this game is extremely difficult but equally rewarding.

great systems, reminds me of a turnbased souls like

I've played every major roguelike since the original rogue, and countless minor ones, and i've played every souls game since demon's souls. This game is a highly addictive souls roguelike. Highly recommended.

Fantastic roguelike that manages to include modern QoL without sacrificing the depth and challenge that makes the genre great. Clean readable graphics, surprisingly expansive scope, and very interesting loot. High recommend for fans of the genre.

Fantastic rogue like with a semi open-world and some really clever mechanics.

Cool roguelike with strong DSII vibes. Looking forward to exploring the levels and different builds. Seems like there is a lot of stuff to discover, which is cool. Glad I found this neat game.

turn based soulslike. fixes all flaws i had with soulslikes in one fell swoop

Very good so far. You can still use the standard bump attack on enemies, but weapons all come with skills that use stamina (which is the bottleneck). The skills I've seen as of 5hrs in are all standard weapon attacks (lunge, stab, jump over and attack, etc,), but there are also ranged options like magic attacks like fireball and a bow. The graphics in the game are better than the screenshots make them look. There's sound effects and music, plus voices for the couple of friendly npc's you talk to. Does not come off as an early access game. If you've played TOME then you will probably enjoy this as the skill usage ends up being more of that familiar chess game. There's also an in-game chat, but so far there's never more than 1-2 people playing, so there's not any conversation happening. 2 things I'd like to see updated are: 1. when comparing weapons and you switch to left hand, the comparison should show what's in the left hand. 2. when using a scroll of reveal map, the autoexplore should still function so that you can still clear the map by pressing 'z'. The map should be visible to the person playing, but the @ should still behave like the map is unknown (with the exception of now having any level exits pop up when hitting 'z')

Full of interesting ideas for the genre but ultimately it doesn't quite gel together as much as you would hope. Still a worthy experiment and worth looking at if you want a roguelike that tries to innovate.
