The Last Faith

Mechanics

The Last Faith is a side-scroller. The player traverses vast, diverse areas, ranging from mighty citadels, palaces and temples to dark dungeons. The areas are interconnected, forming a maze-like world map, access to some of them being barred until we acquire specific abilities or equipment. While exploring, we'll need to solve environmental puzzles and face monsters of all sorts - walking ones, flying ones, crawling ones. The enemies range from common mooks to much more powerful bosses, who are larger, stronger and more resilient.

Combat is a major part of the game. We must be quick, agile, time our dodges and counters, making good use of Eric's equipment and abilities. The protagonist wields melee weapons and firearms (used to stagger enemies), as well as powerful magic. Our gear can also be enhanced by infusing it with elemental powers (such as Diamond Dust, which adds a brief freeze effect to our attacks).

Technical aspects

The Last Faith features high-quality pixel art visuals and a dark color palette. The gothic locations and nightmarish enemies are all very appealing.
