The last fate is intense and gloriously overwhelming
The last fate is immediately analyzed from the entrance. You are told from the start that the difficulty is supposed to be difficult, you will lose, but you will also grow a little every defeat, either thanks to knowledge or liabilities to use during the long nights.
The principle is simple. You control 3 randomized generated heroes who must defend a magic ritual in the center of a dilapidated city. If you can survive 5 night nights by crushing dead enemies, you will win the battle. The dead lives only at night, giving you the day as a respite to rise level, buy items or improve your city and its defenses.
The dead-living seat takes place on a limited number of laps, allowing you to move all your heroes and use as many capabilities as your action points and your mana allow, by sending, hopefully, bands Deaths before the end of the turn. Once your ride passed, the undead argues and if they are close to your heroes, they will attack with fervor.
Everything is played with fleshy satisfaction. Heroes are entitled to eliminate several enemies per turn, which allows you to find the most optimal way to eliminate wave after wave in the most efficient way possible. Each hero represents a common archetype. There are warriors who go foot on the forehead line, brandishing big hammers or swords. There are mages that use spells to support their allies or shoot entire waves with magic missiles. Archers throw flyers from arrows on enemies, using walls and shelters them to their advantage.
Currently, in Steam's early access, everything is very promising so far. The fight is satisfactory and upgrades have just that it takes random with some control to allow you to think strategically. The user interface still needs love to explain the key terms, such as improvements or statistics that affect the gameplay. Without this information, it is difficult to make decisions about what needs to be prioritized in terms of new benefits when you improve each hero, or even statistics on which to focus.
Although deliberate, I wonder if it would be more invested in my heroes if I could somehow control the types of heroes I can use, because some waves you will have a hero whose skills are not as attractive as those. You had on a previous race.
I would also like to see more actions to undertake between fighting during the day. Currently, you can assign workers to rack the ruins in search of resources, build new buildings to help you or use a worker in that building to activate special health care or Mana. It's fun but not particularly deep, leaving simple choices instead of stretched compromise. Objects can also be purchased for your heroes, but they are fairly clear improvements without any interesting sub-capacities.
The difficulty itself gives the impression of being at the right level. Every night is tense because the number of enemies seems overwhelming. The undead can be slowed down by using walls and other barriers to save time. You never want to spend all your Mana in one night because you will need to make sure you have spells as we approach the last night.
The Last Spell is a tense mix of other genres that will be a game to look at as it grows up with its community. I think Ashtar Games is on something here and I will certainly keep an eye as development progresses.
