Imagine being thrown on a mysterious island by a violent storm, with nothing but a knife and a candle. This is the desperate beginning for Lost Isle, an open-world first-person survival game set in a procedural fantasy world. By procedural, it means almost everything in the gaming world is generated procedurally, from the biome and landscape generation to point-of-interest locations to the stats and effects of weapons and armor.
As there is no way out sooner, you’ll have to build your own settlement and protect it from being destroyed by monstrous, intelligent creatures and wildlife equipped with AI, as well as other players. Choose from different roles as you explore and combat on this jungle island, including a spell-slinging wizard, arrow-flinging archer, and classic sword-wielding knight, each has its own weapons and armor.
A highlight of Lost Isle is its PvP gameplay, thanks to dedicated servers that can support up to 200 players. “Throughout the lifetime of a server alliances will form, bases will be built, and PvP might turn into organized group raiding.”
The developers have implemented a directional combat system to make melee combat more fun and exciting. Some specific spots, like headshots, will create more damage while taking out an enemy. Besides, due to its dynamic day and night cycle, certain creatures and resources are only available at specific times, so take this into consideration while collecting materials for crafting weapons and armor.
Lost Isle is the debut title of Wunder Entertainment, an indie development studio whose members are big fans of Rust and similar games. While working hard to release the game in Early Access this year, they’ve achieved some major improvements, as detailed in January’s dev log, such as a bigger map with significantly higher vegetation and landmark density, while performance is also better than ever with higher frame rates and server reliability.
Next, another key event will come soon: the 100 player beta test is about to start tomorrow. If you’re interested in joining in, don’t hesitate to check out this Steam blog for detailed instructions for signup. And don’t forget to add the game to your wishlist there.
