An arcade survival game with strategy elements. Due to a plane crash in the Bermuda Triangle, the protagonist of Lost Sea finds himself stranded on a tropical island. His primary objective is to leave the island, and to achieve it he has to explore the place in search of food, find himself some helpers, build a ship, and sail to a mysterious portal.
Lost Sea for PC, PS4 and XONE is an arcade survival game with strategy elements. It was developed by Eastasiasof, the creators of such titles as Rainbow Moon.
When flying over the Bermuda Triangle, the protagonist's plane crashes. He manages to survive and swims to a nearby small tropical island. His primary objective is now to survive and then find a way to go back home. During his stay on the island, he meets other survivors and forms a team which he also leads. They eventually manage to build a ship, but it turns out they can't leave the Bermuda Triangle in an ordinary way. Instead, they need to reach a magical portal located in the center of the archipelago.
The game's landscapes are generated procedurally in a way that fills every island with dangerous monsters an interesting locations to discover. You need to gather food and resources, build objects, and upgrade your ship. You also have to take care of your companions' most urgent needs while also having long-term objectives in mind. The resources are scarce, which regularly forces you to make hard choices. Despite the cartoon graphics, the game can be ruthless and often punishes you for your mistakes by permanently killing off some of your companions.
The castaways you meet have unique personalities and abilities, which makes the death of any of them a huge problem, making it more difficult to achieve your ultimate goal. Hostile monsters and animals are controlled by an advanced AI system that shapes their reactions not only to the protagonist and his team but also to all the other creatures inhabiting the archipelago.

Game Ratings for Lost Sea Video Game.
GBAtemp: 7.5 / 10 by Alex McAuliffe
Lost Sea is a unique title that provides a new, casual experience that holds its own on consoles. Though it is not suitable for long play times, it's a great game to kick back and relax with. The colorful world and unique mechanics leave the player with a sense of satisfaction-- until they die and all of that slips away in an instant.
Video Chums: 7.1 / 10 by A.J. Maciejewski
Although I enjoyed Lost Sea quite a lot due to its relaxing exploration and rewarding gameplay, its glaring problems get in the way of it being a great game.

I’ve enjoyed previous release from eastasiasoft, and I certainly had fun with this colorful release! During my time playing the game for this Lost Sea review I kept coming back to it to do a new run and then another one, learning along the way who the best crew were, how to defeat large enemies without risking defeat, what skills are more useful early on and which ones I needed to save for right away, and more. If you’re looking for a fun hack and slash game, then you should definitely check this one out!
