How this score was computed
The VGC Score is a weighted blend on a press-comparable 0-100 quality scale. Steam approval rates are first calibrated (95% positive on Steam ≈ 89.5 quality, since Steam approval skews high). Press and tracked creator reviews each count ~2x a player review and share one cap against player evidence (creator buy/skip calls pool into an approval rate, calibrated like Steam approval); all-time sentiment is capped and halved (it's context, not verdict); reviews of the current build carry the most weight when a fresh patch anchors the window; and a 'typical game' prior keeps small samples from pegging the scale. Because press reviews and Metacritic user aggregates describe the launch build, their weight decays as the game ages (3-year half-life after a 1-year grace). That's how a game that launched rough can outgrow its old reception once updates win players over. Reviews under 2h playtime (the refund window), non-Steam activations, and free copies are downweighted.

“Lost Eidolons: Veil of the Witch may get off to a slow start, but the level grinding as you build up proficiency does bring some pleasant rewards. It may not be quite perfect, and many of the themes are "tried and true", but this is a solid entry in the roguelike RPG genre.”

“The follow-up to Lost Eidolons: Veil of the Witch is a huge improvement over the first game. It cleverly combines story, strategy, and visual storytelling. It has fun and challenging tactical fighting, and the story is interesting and mature. There are some minor AI quirks and graphical glitches, but they don’t detract from what is otherwise a very enjoyable experience. This game is a must-play for strategy RPG fans who enjoy dark, story-driven rides.”

“Lost Eidolons: Veil of the Witch is one of the few modern strategy games that really gets it right. It's a roguelite that puts brains over impulse and toughness over habit. It's brave enough to give failure meaning, to turn defeat into growth and repetition into improvement.”

“Lost Eidolons: Veil of the Witcherblends promising ideas with an inconsistent execution and numerous flaws. The tactical combat is engaging, and the bosses are challenging. However, the game suffers from repetitive objectives, a lackluster narrative, and abrupt difficulty spikes.”

“Lost Eidolons: Veil of the Witch is a solid roguelite strategy RPG. I think players will enjoy the roguelite mechanics and world mythos very much, but combat and level design leave a lot to be desired. Still, it’s not a bad experience, I am quick to drop a boring SRPG, but this one kept me engaged throughout the entirety of my playthrough. ∎”
