Lost Sword

An anime RPG built around a search for Excalibur

Lost Sword is a role-playing game for players who enjoy fantasy stories, collectible characters and real-time battles. Its adventure draws on the legend of King Arthur: Elizabeth Pendragon sets out to find the missing Excalibur as conflict spreads across the kingdom. The journey brings her together with other characters, including fairy queen Morgana, knight Bedivere and Ethan.

Party battles and character growth

Combat uses a 2D side-scrolling view, with a party fighting through stages in real time. Battles can keep progressing in an idle or AFK style, so the game also suits players who like building up a team over time. Alongside the main journey, the listed modes include dungeons, raids and event dungeons, offering different places to take a growing party.

Character-focused presentation

Lost Sword puts its anime cast at the centre of both the story and the action. Characters have illustrated designs, animated battle movements and skill sequences presented with dramatic effects. Voice performances are also part of the presentation. This mix may appeal if you want a story-led fantasy RPG with a focus on collecting and seeing characters in action, rather than a purely tactical or text-based experience.
