# Lost Eidolons Kickstarter campaign launched

Ocean Drive Studio has launched a Kickstarter campaign for Lost Eidolons, its recently announced turn-based tactical RPG. It is seeking $45,000 in funding.

Rather than affect development of the core game, the funding secured by the Kickstarter campaign will enable Ocean Drive Studio to increase the scope of development and offer players additional in-game rewards, including:

• Toggable “Permadeath” feature and an enhanced Hell Mode difficulty for those looking for serious challenges.
• Leaving messages for players in the form of a tombstone in a graveyard for heroes.
• Naming rights for NPCs and powerful items.
• Discounted digital copies of the game.

“Our team’s favorite games are turn-based RPGs and we want Lost Eidolons players to have that same great feeling we do when playing one of the best titles in the genre,” said Ocean Drive Studio CEO Jae Kim in a press release. “We are eager to receive player feedback to help us iterate and improve Lost Eidolons, just like we’ve seen with multiplayer online games our team worked on before joining Ocean Drive Studio.”

Lost Eidolons will launch first in Early Access for PC via Steam in Q4 2021, and will see a full release no later than Q4 2022. An Xbox release will be announced later. Ocean Drive Studio told Gematsu it also plans to make the game available on PlayStation and Switch.

Here is an overview of the game, via Ocean Drive Studio:

About
