The Last Hero of Nostalgaia Reviews
What a game! It nearly defeated me in all honesty. The unforgiving gameplay was reminiscent of Elden Ring and its Dark Souls-like counterparts so much so that you’d be forgiven for initially believing they had just taken the game code and just put another theme on top of it.
A game with a unique story that anyone with an appreciation for the world of video games will enjoy. It sticks too much to the Souls style, but manages to create a good experience despite the difficulties.

Despite a few shortcomings, it is a decent indie soulslike with an unconventional story and surprisingly competent combat.
The Last Hero of Nostalgaia is a full-fledged soulslike, with a humorous touch, a sublime artistic section, and little to object to. Sometimes the enemies and some weapons may have the same set of movements but it is the only bad thing that I have been able to find within this work that will touch our most nostalgic side.

The Last Hero of Nostalgaia has every right to call itself a ‘soulslike’ game. It happily rips off every aspect of the Dark Souls series with gleeful abandon and with a giant smirk across its face. If you’ve played a Souls game, then it's all here; the controls, menus, and attack patterns are all where you’d expect them to be. The story is remarkably solid and never takes itself too seriously, and throughout the quest, random interjections from the Narrator consistently lift the mood and throw unexpected curveballs. I was left feeling like The Last Hero of Nostalgaia is an irreverent, self-deprecating, and above all else fun game that everyone should at least dip their toes into.
Not content with the miserly atmosphere in the usual Soulslikes, The Last Hero of Nostalgaia shows that we can have challenging, entertaining combat and a witty, amusing and fun tale alongside the endless deaths. Minor issues with exploration and gameplay aside, this is a fantastic and whimsical take on a genre that had been crying out for some levity. You died, but you'll laugh about it this time.
