Ocean Drive Studio, the company that developed Lost Eidolons, really wants you to run it all back once you’ve finished the game for the first time with New Game+, a feature introduced in the most recent update.
Lost Eidolons is a turn-based tactical RPG where you play as Eden - a charming mercenary captain who was forced to become a rebel leader. Your task is to amass a group capable enough of defeating the Imperial Army and the iron-fisted conqueror, Ludivictus.
Now, the new feature is unlocked after you’ve successfully completed all 27 chapters, with the ending clear game data saved. With New Game+, you can start a fresh campaign and you have complete control over which data you want to carry over from your last playthrough.
You have the option to enable/disable the following:
- Mastery
- Class EXP
- Rapport Levels
- Leadership
- Codex
- Common to Legendary Equipment
- Unique Equipment
- Rapport Items
- Documents and Quest Items
- Gold
- +2 Skill Slots
The company has also implemented some bug fixes and improvements requested by the community. For instance, character animations like the blinking of the eyes have been improved. But most importantly, you can now pause the dialogue cutscenes if you want to.
