    The last spell is the perfect mix of tactical and management game. It gives the player the incredible feeling of a rogue-like game with much choices and no return for the run; it lets the player build its town in his favorite manner, and it tests the built town against waves of enemies. Any mistake is followed immediately by its consequences, and at the end, the victory depends only on theThe last spell is the perfect mix of tactical and management game.

Any mistake is followed immediately by its consequences, and at the end, the victory depends only on the right choices, all along the process. A run lasts for some hours, so it's not a "quick run" game. You need some time to play a run, but you can always stop and continue later, as usual in this kind of game.… Expand

    This game is turn-based tactics, rpg, city-builder and strategy.

    Even in the very early access stage it was already a really good and incredibly addictive product full of content, with nice balance and without technical or gameplay issues. So it was already a gem even before release. And after a long journey of development it became even better in every aspect.

    Excellent game of those unknown indies that should be better known in this world and others too,
    Music: excellent, piano, rock, metal, well thought out for the occasion and for each moment of the game, it is not a tiring soundtrack or one that gets boring or tiresome.
    Graphics: Attractive pixel art, very colorful, beautiful effects on abilities, avatar or character customization, quite    Excellent game of those unknown indies that should be better known in this world and others too,
    Music: excellent, piano, rock, metal, well thought out for the occasion and for each moment of the game, it is not a tiring soundtrack or one that gets boring or tiresome.
    Graphics: Attractive pixel art, very colorful, beautiful effects on abilities, avatar or character customization, quite attractive neon and psychedelic colors, imposing final bosses with a masterful color palette.
    Difficulty: Challenger, starting soft and building up night by night, wave by wave, defense by defense; becoming a great challenge that makes you rethink your strategies, but not impossible (don't be scared).
    Playability and Fun: Very assured, strategy lovers cannot pass up this delicacy, it is not only a tower defense but it goes further, being a turn-based tactical rpg, with varied options in weapons, under construction, the Strategy Isn't About Just Being Stronger forces you to approach strategy from several different angles such as strength, building, positioning, synergies, abilities, etc.

    Unmissable game that I wish was more successful.    … Expand

    An interesting turn-based fantasy game with nice mechanics and a bit too-long sessions.

    As fun and impressive as The Last Spell is, I almost feel like it’s aged me. I am the type of person who goes in for long, heavy board games, loves to lose so that I can go again bolder and wiser, and relishes gnawing on two or more game-changing possibilities. Yet, I turned away from The Last Spell more than once because I couldn’t bear the idea of going through the stress again. In the right mood, The Last Spell is a gift and treasure. Still, you must not only be the kind of person who wants the densest strategy RPG experience ever created, but you also need to be in the mood to weigh twenty or so variables with each action, lest the house of cards you’ve constructed topple down.

    In all, The Last Spell is a genuinely enjoyable game that allows for strategic planning and makes use of a dark atmosphere. That being said there are times when the atmosphere feels almost too crushing and difficult - leaving it up to the player to latch onto hope as best they can. The Last Spell is the end of days for this world wreaked by war, and your group of Heroes is all that stands between what remains of humanity and a slow demise as the fog encroaches and the undead approach. The dark atmosphere and challenging gameplay can make for a really satisfying experience however, and it is in the darkest of times that one’s worth as a hero is truly shown.
