Starting from a more particular point of view, Lost in Random caught my attention since it was announced. Not only for its striking visuals, but also for the proposal to approach a non-traditional fairy tale in an original way. Publication is done by EA.
As the name suggests, Lost in Random plays with the randomness of facts and luck as a determining factor in the characters' lives. In the plot, we assume the role of Even, a little girl with lives with her parents and her sister Odd in the Onecroft kingdom. Onecroft is the base of five other kingdoms in this universe: Two-Town, Threedom, Fourburg, Fivetropolis and Sixtopia.
Each civilization represents a kind of social class. If you live in Sixtopia, your life is one of pure luxury. On the other hand, if you are an inhabitant of Onecroft, your life is pure misery. This is the case for Even's family. However, when a child turns 12, the Queen, who rules all the kingdoms, offers a magic die to discover her destiny.
Odd is faced with this dilemma and forced to roll the dice, which lands on number six. She is then taken from Onecroft and Even sets out to bring her back. The narrative of Lost in Random sounds like a bedtime story for adults. Combining with the scary scenarios, the game successfully fulfills the idea of bringing such interesting characters into a rich world for the player to explore.
From there, we assume the role of the little citizen who, like us, doesn't know what to expect from her journey. A very interesting topic of all this is that the figures we find are very charismatic and even funny, which brings the very smart contrast between the dark and the humor. Because of this, it's hard not to get attached easily to every inhabitant who crosses your path, in addition to, of course, the protagonist herself.
At a certain point in the story, Even finds a mystical data that earns the nickname Dicey and becomes his companion. It is with him that one of the most pleasant magic in the game happens: the dynamics of combat in the gameplay.
Luck in Cards as a Combat Weapon 62h3i
alone, the gameplay exploration of the game is very interesting and fun. There are several points on the map to check and characters that will help to better clarify hidden plot points. In addition, the player can choose to carry out main or secondary missions, as they appear in the progression of the game. game.
However, one of the moments that steals the show the most is the actual combat time. Using Dicey, Even can conjure weapons, defend items, and assemble an attack strategy from lucky cards. Every time we roll the dice, cards that are already in our nationwide appear for selection. Each one has a function and can be combined at the time of confrontations.
Also, when the die is rolled, all enemies stop and time is given to think up a meaningful strategy to defeat them. And each card has a value to be activated. You may find this to be a tremendous advantage. In fact, at the beginning of gameplay, it can be quite easy. But the point at which this is effective is when the game encourages you to try out different cards with a large number of different opponents, in addition to having different abilities.
This is a vital point of the game, because it is the moment when the story converges with a battle scenario that is very pleasant to be present. And, not enough, the title still brings different configurations of confrontations, for example, a fight in the style of a board game.
The only two downsides are that, at times, the character's movement felt harsher than ideal and the title doesn't have Portuguese subtitles, which makes it less inclusive for viewers. Gamers Brazilians. But, other than that, the feeling is that the developers knew how to architect exactly a good idea that was on paper and, for the player, this is very gratifying.
A fantastic immersive universe 10135k
To create a narrative as engaging as this, it is necessary to have a scenario that can give immersion to the player. Lost in Random also knows how to do it very well. Regardless of valid comparisons or not, the game has a very particular aesthetic and its features are very beautiful during the game. gameplay.
Each character has a very well-defined feature that matches their desires and motivations. At this point, it really is a hit. The soundtrack is equally fun and manages to make what is already good even better, from the personality of each kingdom to the most intimate moments, which consequently gives rise to a greater approximation with what is being said to the player.
Almost smooth performance f105y
Available on all consoles and PC, the version that showmetech received for analysis was PS4. In general , the experience was pleasant and very worthwhile. Only a few moments of slips were witnessed.
Bugs of interactions happened occasionally, with one of them forcing you to go back to the home screen and resume the saga. However, this was not so serious as to spoil the experience as a whole or prevent the continuity of the story. The company had stated that a Day 0 patch would be included on all platforms, which might fix these bugs.
One of the best experiences of the year 2i446z
It is possible to state that Lost in Random represents what the player seeks so much in a game: moments of fun, interest and commitment in the execution of a job. In times when titles from large companies are rushed out and at the expense of employees to supply the calendar, the independent title is a great surprise and, particularly, one of the most pleasant experiences with games I had in 2021.
The story doesn't have such an unexpected ending, but perhaps in the simplicity and good execution of actions is where the good memory that stays with each player when turning off the television and the computer. With EA's visibility platform, it would be great to see Lost in Random get the recognition it deserves.
