The Last Spell is a game that grabs you right away with its beautiful pixel art and the atmosphere of a dark fantasy world. The mix of turn based strategy, tower defense, and roguelite elements sounds like a dream for any fan of the genre, and the soundtrack is absolutely fantastic. It sticks in your head and perfectly underlines the desperate mood of the game. The core gameplay loop of fighting through the night and then rebuilding and preparing during the day is genuinely addictive. There is a strong sense of satisfaction when you barely survive a wave, and the build variety keeps things interesting for a long time. That said, the longer you play, the more the flaws start to show. The game is extremely grindy. You unlock tons of items only to find out that most of them are useless. The more items you have in the pool, the worse your chances are of getting something usable. You can try to fix this with omens, but omen slots are limited and there are much better things to spend them on than filtering items because of bad balance. Runs are a chapter of their own. One run can easily take many hours, which is a lot for a roguelite game. And when you finally fight your way to the end, you can still lose because of RNG. TLDR; The Last Spell has amazing potential and the first few hours are great, but the combination of grind, item unlocks that do not feel rewarding, and overly long runs makes it a bit less enjoyable. Anyway, I would still recommend the game for fans who like roguelite and tower defense elements. Pros: - Beautiful pixel art with a dark fantasy style - Mix of tower defense and roguelite gameplay - Tactical combat with an addictive feel - Great soundtrack Cons: - The more items you unlock, the more punishing it gets - Illusion of choice - a lot of weapons are clearly useless, so you gotta stick to the meta - RNG can ruin a good run - Runs are too long - Too grindy Overall rating: 7,5/10

This game feels like what other turn/tile based combat campaigns should strive to be. Players of XCOM or similar titles will look at the choices made here and go 'oh, it IS possible to make these mechanics feel good'. In particular I want give some specific praise. Campaign length: levels range from 5 - 20ish hours depending on the campaign and your own play speed. In my mind, this is where a roguelike of this type thrives. Runs are long enough that if I experience a setback I want to cling to hope and see things through rather than ditching and restarting at the first inconvenience, but short enough that a loss isn't demoralizing enough to abandon the game or lower the difficulty to avoid lengthy repeat sequences. Punishment: Your failures in this game will result in dead characters, destroyed buildings, and City Panic, which will reduce your reward at the end of the night. Penalties, to be sure, but not ones severe enough to make you abandon a run after one bad night. Dead heroes can be replaced with one of similar level for a cost of gold, and items are cumulative enough that one lost opportunity won't be the death of your haven - only a pattern will drag you down. Perk system: Whole lot of fun. Every hero doesn't have access to every perk, so you can have a lot of fun looking for potential synergies that a character can achieve; for example, making a character designed for a sniper tower that's only accurate at long range and gets a range bonus for not moving, or a character that regains health on kill but spends health instead of mana for their special attacks. Soundtrack: Excellent. Give it a listen. I hope to see more games like this in the future. And if you pick this one up, grab a rifle sniper, give them all the propagation bounces and damage you can, and laugh as the waves fall.

A mechanically deep and viscerally satisfying game, with a large amount of content and high replayability for that content. You are tasked with using your limited heroes and resources to cut through the encroaching undead faster than they can overwhelm your haven, with a break each morning to level up, harvest resources, and prepare for the next night. The number of ways to do this effectively, even on higher difficulties, is surprising - each of the different weapon classes, perk trees, and types of base defenses has its own merit and they are pretty much all viable and fun to use. Each weapon has 3-4 skills/attacks and each hero can equip two weapons at once, allowing for a lot of diversity in builds and playstyles. Despite the high degree of depth, the game is not overwhelming to learn, as it introduces mechanics slowly and allows you to unlock the weapons/defenses that interest you first. The maps ramp up in difficulty gradually, forcing you to adapt to new enemy types and map features as you're unlocking the tools to manage them more effectively. I would recommend all of the DLC, but especially the last one (Tales of Torment) as it allows you to take on additional challenges within a run in exchange for various permanent buffs if you manage to succeed. It adds a nice element of risk-reward that encourages you to always be pushing the boundaries of what your heroes are capable of, and the rewards you can get further add to the replayability. Each run can take many hours and multiple play sessions to get through, so if you're someone who feels like you've "wasted your time" if you lose after a lengthy time investment, this game might not be for you. Personally, I never felt like I lost to anything other than my own mistakes, and even the runs where I got overwhelmed were fun until the bitter end. The sound design and music are also top-notch!

This game is so fun and simple. It has customizations, builds=Tower-Defense, collectibles and inventory manager. The replayability keeps the game interesting with different outtakes and runs which makes it very enjoyable to pass the time!

I love the base game. Unfortunately, the developers can't understand basic pricing for DLC/expansions. I wish I could play more of the game. Not paying more for the DLC than the base game.
