Lands of the Lost is a 3D third-person action RPG with roguelite elements. You play as a volunteer hero trying to save the land from an ancient evil that has awakened. Explore four worlds, fight through their outdoor areas and dungeons, and defeat each dungeon boss to open the route to the next world. Beating the final dungeon boss wins the run.

Combat and skills

Combat takes place in real time, with free movement and camera control, sprinting, jumping and rolling. These actions have some stamina restrictions, while rolls have invulnerability frames. The player and creatures move quickly, and basic melee attacks from either side have a small chance to stun. Fights can be easy or punishing depending on your equipment for the area.

Creatures usually take only a few hits to defeat, but so do you. Enemies respawn frequently and cannot be prevented from returning, so you need to keep moving through areas as you fight. Combat uses collision, so you must aim your attacks to hit enemies and can dodge theirs, especially projectiles.

You unlock skills as you level up and can equip three at a time on your quickbar, switching between them for active use. You can change the selection whenever you like. Skills use mana, which regenerates over time along with health; potions can restore either resource. Buff skills temporarily raise selected stats.

Stats and equipment

The combat system uses RPG-style stats for you and your enemies, including ATK (attack), DEF (defense), MATK (magic attack) and MDEF (magic defense). Level-ups let you raise stats directly, and gear can increase them further. Weapons determine whether your basic attack deals physical damage, which scales with ATK, or magic damage, which scales with MATK. Skills from the skill tree also deal physical or magical damage and scale with the corresponding stats. Armor raises defensive stats.

Enemies drop crafting items as well as frequent loot. In towns, a crafting NPC can turn crafting materials into goods. You can also take quests for rewards, buy and sell weapons, armor, magic rings and potions, including potions that permanently raise stats. Town NPCs provide backstory and lore.

Permadeath and progression

Each run uses permanent death: there is no saving, loading or checkpoints, and death removes your character and all progress. A victory also retires the character, while adding one to your Total Wins. A run takes about two hours to win, and the world is randomized for each new game.

Total Wins persist between game sessions. Your first victory unlocks a second character type for new games; the two characters have different skill trees and play differently.

Worlds and quests

The game has four worlds, each with an outdoor area, a dungeon and a town. These areas are generated with varying degrees of randomization at the start of a new game. Enemies grow more difficult in each new outdoor area and dungeon, while towns offer better weapons, armor, accessories, potions and crafting options, as well as quests unique to that area.
