Story
| “ | How can you arrive where you started, and yet know the place for the first time? That is the enigma of Monobe, of the blood of Keptan, bold lone adventurer of Generations Lost. Your exploring will take you through many intricate levels, strung across the six sectors of a troubled world. What you possess are odd clues and strange powers that you must grow to understand. What you seek is the truth. Generations Lost. It's a quest for the identity not just of one, but of all. A strategy adventure enfolded in a riddle. And a gaming experience that will intrigue you... thrill you... and reward you like no other. | „ |

Gameplay
Generations Lost features gameplay similiar to Flashback and Blackthorne; Monobe is able to use his powersuit’s electrical rope to swing through stages, and can acquire additional projectile weaponry and shields. Later, he also acquires the ability to warp between areas, although the game’s length doesn’t allow its extensive use.
