  • Summary: Nostalgaia, the world of videogames, is collapsing backwards into a mysterious pixelation, with every particle of fidelity bleeding away.

Oblivion seemingly awaits even our most cherished gaming memories. But as the lighting dims and frames diminish, with the world on the brink of extinction, hope emerges to fight back.

    As the most hideous pixelated hero to ever spawn in Nostalgaia, you must fight through an army of its mindless inhabitants, while being jeered by a cynical narrator who despises your very existence.

    The Last Hero of Nostalgaia is a satirical action-adventure, driven by a dark story, set in an incredibly rich and complex world.

    Featuring hard but fair combat that fans of the genre will relish, along with full character customization, unique battle armor and engaging narrative mechanics rich in lore, The Last Hero of Nostalgaia's twisted and wicked tale is prepared to send you headfirst into almost certain death around its every vertex.    … Expand

    The Last Hero of Nostalgaia is funny from the first step. From its nods to Soulsborne games like notes on the floor giving you hints, to its joypad smashingly difficult boss battles, The Last Hero is a really solid and incredibly wholesome feeling title.

    Although Nostalgaia does have some shortcomings that put it below the games it’s trying to ape, the fact that it manages to get even a little bit close is a feat of its own. Whether you’re an IP freak like me who's happy seeing a ton of love for gaming, someone looking to get into the Soulsborne genre, or a FromSoft veteran that’s looking for something new, there’s something in Nostalgaia for everyone.

    From its opening moments, to the credits and everywhere in between, the humor The Last Hero of Nostalgaia brings is surely part of its focus, bringing a more lighthearted approach to a Soulslike. Nearly every item description has some humor, even to the achievements, all topped off with plenty of fan service and gaming references you’re sure to recognize. Sure the humor wears a little thin the latter half, but fans should enjoy this different take on their favorite genre.

    The Last Hero of Nostalgaia is basically a rudimentary version of Dark Souls where you play as a stick man but at least it's funny.

    The last hero of nostalgaia is a fun souls like that doesnt take itself seriously. The game is not as difficult as most souls like games butThe last hero of nostalgaia is a fun souls like that doesnt take itself seriously. The game is not as difficult as most souls like games but be aware you will still die a lot. The thing about this game that stands out the most is the incredible dialogues from the narrator with the all over the place art style that represents different ages in gaming. You go from very pixelated models to that of high resolution. The gameplay is very well done for a indi dev team and feels almost identical to the dark souls series. So for every souls like fan I would recommend this game as it a fun game to go through. Not the most difficult one just a really fun one.… Expand
