Lost Eidolons: Veil of the Witch · published
Dear Tacticians,
It’s hard to believe that it’s already been 30 days since our official release! We want to sincerely thank everyone who has supported us, shared feedback, and joined our growing community.
Over the past month, we’ve been experimenting within a unique genre blend — SRPG meets Roguelite — and we’ve learned an incredible amount from all of your feedback.
With the recent 1.1.8 patch, we’ve concluded our first phase of post-launch updates, which focused primarily on improving the overall gameplay experience.
This update included:
New difficulty options
Faster permanent progression
Battle balance and difficulty adjustments
Relic and skill adjustments
Optimization and bug fixes
And more…
These changes were driven directly by your feedback, and we deeply appreciate everyone who took the time to share thoughts, bug reports, and gameplay experiences.
While the game isn’t perfect and the Steam review score currently sits slightly below Very Positive, our internal gameplay metrics are very encouraging.
<Playing Time Metrics showing Above Average Engagement>
Our data shows that players are highly engaged — average playtime is well above genre norms and continues to increase with each week.
This tells us that despite some rough edges, the core gameplay loop is resonating and keeping players invested.
As a small team, it’s important for us to sustain development through the game’s revenue and growth potential.
The good news is: the numbers and community response give us confidence that we can continue building upon this foundation.
Based on your feedback, we’ve identified two key areas we believe are critical to making the game stronger and more replayable:
Shorter Expeditions (Runs) — to create a tighter, more replayable session loop
A True Roguelite Experience — creating thrilling synergy moments and dopamine-inducing builds
We believe focusing on these pillars will significantly enhance both player satisfaction and the game’s long-term potential.
Addressing these areas is only the next step, not the end.
Once we’ve improved the foundation, we plan to:
Expand content and systems
Add variety through customization to reduce the feeling of repetition
Explore new ways to keep each expedition fresh and exciting
We’re currently discussing several design directions internally, but as always, we believe our community often knows best.
We’ll continue listening closely to your ideas, feedback, and creative suggestions to make sure we evolve the game together.
Our goal remains the same:
To build a tight, engaging, and replayable tactical experience that rewards experimentation and creativity — staying true to the heart of Lost Eidolons.
Thank you again for joining us on this journey and for supporting the Lost Eidolons franchise.
Your passion and feedback continue to shape the game’s evolution — and we can’t wait to show you what’s coming next.
See you on the battlefield,
The ODS Team
