The Last Spell Review

The Last Spell is a rogue-lite where you have to protect a small settlement from hoards of monsters. While there are certainly some tower defense elements, the vast majority of the monster-slaying is going to come from a handful of randomly generated, but customizable heroes. The catch is, the game is entirely turned-based.

*Pros*

An exceptionally fun and unique tactical game

Highly customizable heroes and playstyles

Free Form turn-based combat works great

Strong progression system

Feel fast-paced, while being turn-based

Awesome boss fights

High Replay Value

Customizable difficulty settings

*Cons*

The console version is behind in updates compared to the PC version and updates come slowly for the console version. The differences are substantial (at the time of writing)

There is a snowball effect where a single poor night will make it almost impossible to salvage a run

The production phase has a pretty obvious optimal build order for the first few waves

The difficulty has a severe spike during boss battles that don't follow a curve from the previous waves
