Short Review: The hype is real. Game is awesome. I can't believe I haven't heard of it for the past five years. Long Review: I totally got this game because I was bored. Was reading the reviews and people said it was good. One guy wrote, "This is my favorite game". So I gave it a shot, after all steam has that refund policy so I didn't have anything to risk. 60 hours later... I see what people said about time going by fast while playing. It is EASY to lose track of your life so be careful! The game does a lot of things well. The two biggest areas where the game shines are: 1. The game has a fun game-loop. prep for battle and battle...but it is more complex than that. After you battle you want to get the rewards/loot which you collect the same time as the next day...then you want to equip your heroes and upgrade and go back to battle and repeat and repeat. It is hard to pick a good stopping point so you end up playing endlessly. and... 2. You have a lot of control of what your heroes wear, and what weapons to give them. You can give them all bows or strategize to spread the gear between them, or make one ultra powerful character. You have a lot of choices and they are all impactful. One part of the game I enjoyed is that each hero starts with three traits. You can tell that whoever named the traits did it with a bit of love and logic. That blend is hard to achieve. The traits are fun, numerous and actually make sense. How does it actually play? It is oddly similar to playing a turn based D&D session where you are controlling units moving along a terrain with attack ranges and different "classes and abilities". People who enjoy Final Fantasy Tactics and Disgaea will feel very "at home". Less about the storyline (which is at least coherent and simple), and more about the strategy and combat. It feels more like sitting down to play a game of chess. 10/10

The Last Spell This is a good game. It's a really interesting mix of systems. It's also a really hard game which is why only about 5% of the owners have finished it. My suggestion is to pick it up on sale with a Trainer ready because you might need it with this roguelike / roguelite. The Last Spell is a bit of a mix of genres put together in an innovative, compelling way. It's a tower/base defense game combined with RPG elements and turn based combat. The game basically has two phases. By Day, you'll have a certain amount of gold, materials and people to build your little town. It's not a city building game by any stretch of the imagination but you'll build an improve a handful of structures, level up and gear up your heroes from the battles the night before and build some basic defenses around your town. When you're done (out of money, materials and actions), you'll click the button for night. As Newt said, they mostly come at night....mostly (well, always in this game). The monsters raid your base, usually from multiple sides, and you have to beat them back with turn based tactics. You'll have to decide which mobs to engage and which ones to let get to the wall hoping your puny defenses can take those out. If the monsters make it to the center of your city where your ritual circle is, it's game over man! Well, you just have to start that map again. Luckily you can buy (or earn) various weapons and gear to help you and each weapon feels like a brand new class. The attack patterns are different with each weapon, so learning each one requires some practice and some combinations work better together than others. There's a minor skill tree, some random level-up enhancements and a few gear slots (pants, jacket, helm and trinket) for further character customization. So each character will start to feel distinct over another. And when you lose one in battle, it hurts starting over while facing ever-increasingly difficult enemies each night. So each night you're facing harder waves from the horde in the mist. The first night will be simple but then again your heroes are lower level and your city is bare-bones. After a few rounds really difficult mobs are in play and you're sweating every move trying beat them all. After a few nights (each map is different), you'll face the ultimate challenge - a boss fight. The mobs never stop until or unless you beat the boss. Those fights are very challenging. Let me be clear on this - I wouldn't have been able to beat some of those fights without cheats. The game is *very* difficult and I doubt I'd have made it through the last couple of boss fights even with multiple attempts, which would have made me uninstall (more on that later). And truthfully, this is I think why only 5% of owners have completed the game. It's really damn hard. And if you lose a fight, you don't get to try it again. You have to start that town over from scratch. Which means building it up again and slogging through multiple nights of fights. Restarting a map and having to play 5-10 hours all over again isn't the kind of game play I enjoy at all. If that doesn't bother you then great, this is a perfect game for you. If you don't like restarting because of time or patience constraints, this is going to be a major problem for you. Luckily, you do get some boosts as you play so you might be a little better if you have to replay a map. You'll meet up with a couple of sketchy but helpful divine sisters and they'll grant you boons with what amounts to a clearing-the-map currency each night. These boons will allow your people to hit just a bit harder, provide map boosts when starting a new town or improve the quality of gear that is available. While there are a lot of these benefits (Omens) you can collect over time, each map only allows a few of these so you'll need to choose wisely. Still, these help make a map just a hair easier next time but fundamentally won't provide enough of a boost if you are really struggling. The pixel graphics are good and I really enjoyed the soundtrack. Let me correct that - I REALLY enjoyed the soundtrack. The story is fairly original and has a few twists and turns that keep things moving along. The UI is fairly functional and while a few things are a bit buried (it took me a while to figure out I didn't have to repair/replace mines 1 by 1), it's easy to navigate. But this game isn't going to appeal to everyone: - This is a very hard game even on easier difficulties. - Restarting maps if you fail. If you value your time this may be enough for you to want to uninstall. I would have quit this some time ago because starting over is really setting you back 5-10 hours if you're deep into a map. This isn't Hades where dying cost you 20 minutes. So make no mistake, this is a roguelike with tension, terror and torture that you'd expect from a game with that label. - Lots of systems are thrown at the player quickly and not well explained. It's not a difficult game to learn but there really isn't much of an introduction to get you started. - If you do get stuck, this game is going to turn into a huge grind. A 5% completion rate is a really small number and it suggests that a lot of people get ground down by the game and ultimately quit before finishing. Overall, I think the developers built the game they set out to make and it's an interesting, challenging and fun experience. I'm glad I played it. I'm glad I got it for around 75% off. I'm glad I used a trainer to not be as annoyed. But I'm not buying the DLC and I'm not really interested in playing it any more. As always, YMMV. Recommended on sale for the right audience

I've thus far broken 3 seals. Working on the 4th. Each seal is like a mini-campaign. You have to survive a string of consecutive battles, building up your characters and defenses, until it culminates in a final boss battle. And then it's on to the next seal, with a new map and roster that you build up again from scratch. With meta-progression via unlocks. The level of tension is PERFECT. I had to attempt the first boss battle twice, and beat it handily on the 2nd attempt. Understandable, as I was still learning the game. Looking back on the conditions of that battle now, it looks trivial. The 2nd and 3rd boss battles were both won by the skin of my teeth. The game does an incredible job of making everything seem hopeless... until you win. Invoking that cinematic feeling of winning against impossible odds is some of the best fun in gaming. I've played countless games over the past 40 years, and winning that 3rd boss battle was one of the best examples of that feeling I've ever encountered. The entire map drowned in enemies, the walls surrounding my mage being beaten down on every side, half my team dead after sending everyone out on last ditch suicide runs to kill what I thought was the last wave of boss creatures... and it wasn't. I sat in shock as the battle didn't end. I lost all hope. And then the final dryad appeared... right next to one of my living heroes, who managed to kill it with their very last attack on the very last turn that the walls surrounding my mage were likely to hold, and every remaining hero was on the verge of death. Absolutely perfect experience. That was boss battle #3. Boss battle #2 was almost just as intense. The progression has so far also been perfect. The complexity and difficulty have ramped up at just the right pace. I improve my building approach and my understanding of the mechanics every campaign, and just the right amount of new and tougher stuff gets introduced to match. The pixel art and music are also very well done, and really sell the experience. And I'm enjoying the apocalyptic backstory, and the subtle bits of world-building and character development that you get through short dialogues between rounds with the light and dark goddesses, which are totally optional to pay any attention to.

This game is a bit of a mix. On one hand, it's an indie title and I feel like expectations are managed from the small team size. The complaints you're about to read should be kept to consideration of the team size. On the other, we got some serious design flaws on what otherwise would be one of the best takes on a Tactcis style game I've played in a long time. The fights in general feel pretty ok. There's an expectation of failure, I'm ok with that. What I'm not ok with are the unnecessarily drawn out roguelike runs that culminate in boss fights that mostly aren't even hinted at. There's often no hints, just "ok here's the boss, figure it out", and look... if the runs were short it would be one thing, but one run can go tens of hours. That's a lot of time invested to fail and start all over. And that's really my chief gripe. The game doesn't need to be nearly as long as it is. Each roguelike run could be cut by at least 1/3 and I don';t think the player would notice or gripe. This is a shame, cause otherwise, you can tell this is a tactics game shaped by people who enjoy tactics games. It's not a puzzle, it's tactics. Stark difference, and this game understands the difference. Can I recommend the game? Tough question. If you're committed to understanding systems with a deep love of tactics games and an understanding that you might likely fail a lot in some runs before you succeed.... , I think this game holds a large amount of things for you to discover. If you aren't even one of those things, it might be a tough sell.
