During the day you prepare yourself for the monsters that come at night

What is the gameplay like in The Last Spell? During the day you take care of the preparation: manage your heroes, repair the city and place defenses. Because when night falls, bloodthirsty monsters will stand outside your walls.

You have a selection of gadgets and abilities to use to fight enemies. For example, armor, weapons, jewelry, and potions each have their own stats and special properties.

In addition, The Last Spell offers you the opportunity to create an individual class while constantly improving the heroes and providing them with all the items.

But make sure that you manage resources such as mana and healing wisely, you only have a limited contingent. Also in the fight against the monsters you have to act strategically, get to know their weaknesses and strengths and take targeted action against them.

But be prepared to fail – and not a little at that. As a roguelite, you’ll be able to gradually learn from your previous mistakes to do better next time. However, you can also choose from 6 different levels of difficulty to adjust the level of difficulty for you.

The game is a pure single player, which you play alone.
