Nov. 2025
The Last Soldier of the Ming Dynasty is an ambitious indie action title that brings a rarely explored period of Chinese history to the foreground. Developed by Circuit_Art and published by 2P Games, it drops players into the Jiajing era of the Ming Dynasty and follows a lone Qi army soldier who washes ashore after a shipwreck. Stranded on Fuling Island and surrounded by chaos, he must confront roving bands of Wokou pirate-raiders, track down scattered allies, and challenge a series of powerful warlords who have carved up the land. Rather than relying on elaborate exposition, the game sets its tone through atmosphere: traditional ink-and-wash aesthetics give each environment the appearance of a living painting, with soft gradients, brush-like strokes, and muted colors evoking the art of the period. This distinctive presentation immediately separates it from typical indie action projects, suggesting a thoughtful cultural foundation beneath its action-driven surface. The core of the experience lies in its melee combat system, which favors timing, precision, and reading your opponent over button-mashing or combos. Your stance determines whether you perform a stab, cleave, or sweeping strike, and enemies telegraph their attacks in subtle ways that encourage you to match or counter their moves. Learning to anticipate an enemy’s intent becomes the heart of every encounter, turning battles into small duels that reward patience as much as aggression. Breaking stamina is often more important than chipping away at health, and well-timed dodges or parries create openings that feel earned. When the system clicks, it offers a satisfying rhythm reminiscent of more demanding action titles—though on a smaller, more compact scale. However, the execution is uneven; hit detection can feel inconsistent, some animations lack fluidity, and certain encounters reveal the limitations of the underlying system. Visually, the game’s ambition is clear and often admirable. The ink-and-wash aesthetic lends a painterly quality to landscapes, villages, forests, and coastal areas, giving the world a unique sense of identity. Menus, UI elements, and loading screens all build on this style, with calligraphy-inspired embellishments and subdued palettes. Yet the artistry sometimes collides with technical constraints. Character models can appear disproportionate, animations feel stiff, and transitions between movements occasionally break immersion. Environmental details vary in quality, with some areas beautifully composed and others sparse or repetitive. Performance issues—framerate dips, stuttering, or inconsistent lighting—further complicate the presentation. For an indie team’s first major outing, the ambition is impressive, but the execution reveals the limits of budget and experience. The narrative is intentionally simple, offering a focused progression through the island as you confront one warlord after another. These warlords serve as boss encounters, each with distinct patterns and visual flair, helping structure the campaign into clear arcs. While the premise is compelling—fighting for survival in a foreign land torn apart by conflict—the storytelling remains minimal. Dialogue is brief, cutscenes are sparse, and characterization is kept light. There are glimpses of emotional stakes, particularly in moments involving captured or fallen comrades, but the game stops short of delving deeply into personal arcs or moral themes. Localization inconsistencies occasionally disrupt the flow, with certain scenes or UI elements presenting awkward English phrasing or untranslated text. Despite these flaws, the game’s sense of identity and commitment to its theme carry it further than its technical limitations might suggest. Combat, when it works smoothly, delivers tense, engaging duels that feel distinct from Western-styled action games. The art direction, despite inconsistencies, provides a memorable backdrop that stands apart from common fantasy or medieval settings. The historical framing—rare in mainstream gaming—adds an extra layer of charm and novelty. The developers openly acknowledge their inexperience in areas such as combat tuning, art pipeline, and level design, and this transparency helps frame expectations for players willing to engage with an earnest but imperfect indie effort. Ultimately, The Last Soldier of the Ming Dynasty is a game defined by ambition: it aims for a culturally rich setting, a unique visual style, and a combat system with tactical depth. Its shortcomings—technical roughness, uneven animation, and limited narrative scope—are real, but so is its heart. For players who value atmosphere, historical flavor, and indie experimentation, it offers a worthwhile and often engaging journey. For those expecting high polish, extensive storytelling, or refined combat on the level of big-budget action titles, it will likely fall short. Approached with tempered expectations and an appreciation for its artistic aspirations, it stands as a distinctive and memorable entry in the indie action genre. Rating: 7/10

Oct. 2025
It kinda looks a little janky, the localisation is approximative and it definitely lacks a lot of polish but the core parry / riposte gameplay a la Sekiro is really well made. Better than most attempts at the souls like genre. You end up with a game that is at times both exciting and satisfying while also offering almost too many frustrating moment. Very niche and probably unable to ever break out of it but a very worthwhile release if you're into this specific style of parry souls like.
