Lost Mastery is a mixture of card battler and memory puzzle
Memorise the cards in your deck and pick the right ones for maximum damage
But try not to get greedy, or risk stumbling on any manner of debilitating debuffs

We wrote a lot about games which mixed genres yesterday, and we're not done yet. Because today's subject is the game Lost Mastery, a mixture of card battler and memory puzzle, where your wit is your weapon.
Lost Mastery sees you take on the role of an anthropomorphised cat wielding a giant sword, duking it out with a variety of weird and deadly enemies. The only catch? Your attacks, and indeed some hidden effects, are all chosen from the hidden deck at the bottom of the screen.
You'll need to keep your memory sharp because while you could play it safe and only memorise a few select cards, that'll very quickly see you overwhelmed. But lose track and pick one too many, and you might end up with any manner of debilitating debuffs.

Remembered skills
Mixing and matching genres is a tried and tested way to create something novel, and while we're not certain Lost Mastery is the first to do it, we believe it looks to provide a very compelling package. Primarily designed for iPad, but playable on iPhone, Lost Mastery has some very pleasing pixel art that maintains the pleasantly retro crunchiness of the style, but with greater detail than more stylized takes.

So will Lost Mastery get your memory going again? You'll have to give it a go and discover for yourself.
