Lost in Open Steam Demo Review

Lost in Open is an upcoming strategy RPG from Whisper Games, and you can play the demo on Steam now. I, of course, did this already, so you didn’t have to waste your time if it were a train wreck.

It starts off pretty standard; you play as King Nrvesk of Ruedome, who was summoned under false pretenses so you could be killed. The game picks up with you and two of your men making your escape. You will choose randomly generated nodes that change each play-through. As you retreat to your country’s border, certain nodes turn red to represent the chasing assassins. You can still choose these, but the events become much more difficult. Stick to the standard nodes, and you can find traders, recruit people, or come across any number of random events.

The battles are also pretty standard. Turn-based on initiative, nobody’s HP drops until after you get rid of their armor, and of course, everyone has an assortment of skills and abilities with recharge times. Even on the easiest difficulty, the game does have some challenge to it. The big selling point of this game is absolutely the story. Nothing here breaks new ground, but so far it does everything well. The demo is fun and is by no means short, so give it a try. Best wishes, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
