A new kind of deckbuilding roguelike. In Lost Pages, you don't draw cards. You draw elements. Instead of drawing cards randomly, spells require elemental resources such as Fire, Water, Earth, and Air. Every turn, elements are drawn from the pool created by your deck, creating a completely new strategic system. This unique mechanic was recognized for its originality at the Google Indie Game Festival. Draw Elements, Not Cards Each spell requires elemental costs. Your deck determines the element pool, and every turn you draw elements randomly from that pool. Managing your elements and planning your turns becomes the core strategy. A new twist on the classic deckbuilding roguelike formula. Ether - A Unique Element A special element called Ether adds another layer of strategy. When drawn, Ether changes its nature instantly and always triggers an additional element draw, sometimes creating powerful chain reactions. Mastering Ether can completely change the flow of battle. Build Your Deck Discover and combine a wide variety of: - Magic Circles - Artifacts - Runes Every choice changes your strategy and opens new possibilities. Create powerful synergies and build your own unique deck. A 5-Act Roguelike Adventure Explore a roguelike map where every run is different. Face powerful elites, deadly bosses, and unpredictable encounters as you progress through the world. Challenge 100 Levels of Hazard Beyond the main adventure lies the Dimensional Gate. A special mode with 100 levels of escalating difficulty, designed for players seeking the ultimate challenge. How far can you go?

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Gorathar at none against Lost Pages's shown. Gorathar also leads on review sentiment (79% vs 50%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Lost Pages's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (173 vs 25). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Lost Pages sells 50 one-off in-app purchases and Gorathar sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Lost Pages holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lost Pages has 173 ratings behind it against 25, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Lost Pages's written reviews are positive against 79% of Gorathar's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 days. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
