G-MODE announced on October 14 that Lost Savior joins its G-MODE Archives+ revival line, with the Nintendo Switch version out October 15 and the Steam version set for October 28. The price is 800 yen including tax, and the supported language is Japanese only. The original Lost Savior was a fantasy RPG that Bandai Namco Games published in 2010 as a feature phone title, following in the lineage of Lost Chronicle. It is set in a world that has reached the time of its destruction, where the protagonist uncovers the secret of his own birth while traveling to save that world. The game spans 25 countries and regions plus the demon world, spirit world, and divine world, with total play time above 60 hours, 1,000 item types, more than 200 monster types, 19 jobs including Fighter and Priest, and roughly 300 synthesis recipes. Up to three characters fight at once, and towns level up through guild requests. G-MODE describes the project as a faithful reproduction of feature phone apps on current consoles.
Lost Savior is the sixth Bandai Namco Entertainment title on G-MODE Archives+, joining five that are already available.
- Xenosaga Pied Piper
- Namco Chronicle
- Pac-Man
- Lost Chronicle
- Ridge Racer
G-MODE dates the original to 2010, when publisher Bandai Namco Games had not yet taken its current name of Bandai Namco Entertainment. The store listing carries an IARC rating of 12+ and one player. Total play time is longer than Lost Chronicle, the title it follows in lineage, and G-MODE lists the extra content as completionist material. Character growth runs through job changes that carry skills over, letting players build equipment from materials they collect. Switch owners can start the game from 0:00 on October 15, and the Steam page is already open for wishlists ahead of the October 28 launch. G-MODE Corporation is based in Shinagawa, Tokyo, and president Seiichiro Kato's company has run its own publishing on consoles since 2018, alongside the earlier G-MODE Archives project and licensing for Data East titles.
