If you've ever wanted to explore a tropical paradise in a roguelike adventure then here's a game for you. Lost Sea proves that roguelikes can be relaxing as well as hectic so let's sail away and see what treasures await.

Lost Sea certainly has a charm; it’s a short and basic premise that opts for clarity and simplicity over length and detail, which for a roguelike, works perfectly. Lost Sea gives you simple controls and simple mechanics, but changes their flavour in each new area, increasing the difficulty slowly over the period of the game.

Lost Sea is the latest game from eastasiasoft, publishers of Rainbow Moon and the upcoming Rainbow Skies. Lost Sea is a top-down, procedurally generated action/adventure game teetering on roguelike territory, that follows a small group of survivors as they attempt to escape the Bermuda Triangle.

Lost Sea is an explorative, action, adventure game with added rogue-like mechanics spliced into the mix.  After becoming stranded in the Bermuda Triangle you are forced to explore and survive through a string of hostile island chains in an attempt to reach a mysterious portal to transport you home.
