Lost Isle is your next open-world survival obsession
Anyone interested in open-world survival games should get ready for the genre's next big hitter: Lost Isle, a procedurally generated fantasy MMO that can be wishlisted now. Build a fortress and protect it, or dedicate yourself to sieging and plundering those of others. Cultivate and craft or ransack and loot. Go it alone or forge alliances: this place is yours to do with as you will.
Lost Isle employs procedural high fantasy worlds and large scale PVP (250+ concurrent players) to provide players with an experience that is unique and exciting. Generated forests and caves hide secrets lost for eons, looming monuments litter the land, and unique takes on crafting, cooking, and building make for an exciting experience full of discovery. Natural law is warped by the curious dark magic that has infected the isle, dangers lurk in the darkness, and mysteries flit in and out of the world's limits.
The Lost Isle is a harsh and unforgiving place for the foolish, but over time can be bent to your will and even made a home. Build settlements for protection that, over time, can become strongholds: customise all buildings both inside and out with a detailed and flexible system that takes things like structural integrity into account. You can even claim abandoned buildings as your own, and turn a fixer-upper into the world's envy.
You're not the only one on the Lost Isle, of course. Over time you'll expand your character's skillset, gather materials to craft weapons, armor, tools, and base defenses, and learn the ways of magic. Your mortality is not a good fit in this place and, learning from master alchemists, witches, wizards and many more, you'll learn to brew concoctions and forge legendary devices to shore up your fragile mortality.
Lost Isle features a massive procedurally generated world with distinct biomes which have their own unique monsters, resources, and secrets to uncover. Whether you take on the challenge alone or with friends is up to you, but be sure that other players will seek out every advantage they get. Combat is a stamina-based system built around unique weapon types, fighting styles, dodges and even parries. All of which build up to epic boss fights that will test even the most well-prepared player, with rewards to match.
Lost Isle is going to be your next survival obsession, is coming soon, and can be wishlisted on Steam now. You can also follow the game's progress on Twitter and be sure to check out Freedom Games other titles!
