This is my personal review of the game **The Last Hero of Nostalgaia** after playing about 40 hours and completing the main storyline while simultaneously doing an [all main bosses no damage challenge run](https://youtu.be/hKBbkxZjIKQ).

**Steam Price:** Php 549.95

**Is there a demo available?** Yes

**Genre:** Souls-like, Retro, RPG

What's Good?

*   This game is basically Dark Souls but a shorter version with retro-style graphics.
    
*   Sounds and audio - again retro-style - are good.
    
*   Co-op play is available although I have not personally tried it.
    
*   Storytelling is quite good. And the witty humor and pop-culture references are a fantastic match to its retro-style graphics.
    
*   World-building is really good, area interconnectivity is fantastic! Biomes and enemies do not feel repetitive and reused most of the time.
    
*   Character building is awesome. I played the game with melee Dex+Luk build character - most of the time unarmored and I actually enjoyed it.
    
*   Boss fights are somewhat challenging, but not as much as FromSoftware bosses.
    

What's Bad?

*   Boss fights are very far apart IMHO. After the first boss, it took me almost 2 map explorations before I was able to fight another boss. I didn't mind this at all but I know some players would feel tedious of this design.
    
*   The game does not have a fast-travel. For an indie game, the world is actually massive. The devs actually made the area interconnectivity really good however I still think it needs a fast-travel mechanics.
    
*   Minor glitches - fell through and glitched on the floor once my entire playthrough, but nothing major.
    

TL;DR

**Do I recommend the game?** Yes! If you've played Dark Souls before and enjoyed it, I'm sure you'll enjoy this one too.

**Is the game worth the full price?** Yes! Support good small indie devs, please.

I would appreciate it if you guys can support me there as well by liking and subscribing. :ok\_hand:

The Last Hero of Nostalgaia – Recensione

THE LAST HERO OF NOSTALGAIA

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