Lost in Random received a new gameplay trailer during this week's EA Play Live event, with creative director Olav Redmalm describing the game as Zoink!'s homage to fairy tales of a dark nature. Related: Everything Revealed At EA Play Live 2021 Lost in Random was an official Tribeca Games selection at the Tribeca Festival in 2021, allowing it to compete against games like Kena: Bridge of Spiritsand Twelve Minutes for the inaugural Tribeca Games Award. The game is being developed by Swedish studio Zoink Games, who also developed the EA Originals game Fe. Combat encounters end up appearing a bit too often, slowing down the pacing of the otherwise excellent story and dialogue sequences that make Lost in Random truly shine.Lost in Random was originally announced at the EA Play event in 2019.

It feels great for the first few battles, especially when you’re playing with interesting card combinations like Blacksmith’s Blink and Crystal Curse – the former giving you the ability to deal damage when you dodge roll your way through enemies, which causes crystals to break off of them, and the latter giving you the ability to deal damage each time you break those very same crystals – but the novelty does eventually wear off. Regardless, each of these enemy types are pretty slow and predictable, and it’s easy to use any damage-dealing card to beat them down without thinking too hard. The other issue is that, on the default difficulty mode, each foe is packed with a lot of hit points, and a single battle might still take about 20 minutes or longer – simply because of how many of them will spawn before you’re finished. The first issue is that you’re never prompted to select a difficulty level unless you go digging into the menus after already having spent some time playing. The real-time part of combat kicks in when you spawn a weapon and button-mash your foes to death or until your weapon breaks.Īll of this “cards” business would shuffle Lost in Random’s real-time combat around and make it more appealing than the average button-masher if the enemy’s AI wasn’t so easy to outsmart with such minimal effort.

Don’t worry if this sounds too weird, because most of the cards you can equip in your deck include the usual mix of swords, healing potions, and bombs. The part that makes this interesting is the fact that each card in your hand is randomly pulled from your much larger deck – which lets you store up to 15 cards at a time, including duplicates if you want a few cards to show up more regularly than others – and you have no way of predicting which cards will appear when you roll your dice.
