From the variable storyline to the co-op options to the ability to equip your hero with the best items the player can find, the game is well poised for success. Unfortunately, so far it gives the impression that it's simply not finished. [Issue#323]

The Last Oricru is a cynical attempt at a Dark Souls successor. So many aspects of the game fall short to capture the same thrills within the series and its other imitators. With unsatisfying gameplay, a cliche-ridden story, and poor graphics, The Last Oricru is a difficult game to recommend.

I am not such a purist that I can’t enjoy a lower-budget indie take on the Souls-like formula, and the team at GoldKnights shows its chops in several of The Last Oricru‘s aspects. The writing and world-building are enjoyable, and the vision of giving the player lots of choice in how the story should unfold has been well realized. But when it comes to combat and performance, the game is a mess. Even if one is lucky enough to avoid game-breaking bugs, combat is executed so poorly that it spreads its taint onto the rest of the experience. When having to restart a game completely due to a bug isn’t even the worst issue encountered, I think that about says it all. In the end, the development team has much to prove to bring the gameplay in line with the good elements it showed it is capable of.

After watching Iron Pineapple's video on this, I felt compelled to give this game a fair rating, at least in my eyes. This is a buggy, poorly written, and just bad game. It doesn't deserve a 9/10 or for God's sake 10/10 o.O What the **** are these reviewers smoking?

The Last Oricru is the worst game ive ever played, by far. If it was free i still wouldnt recommend it. The positive reviews are the devs themselves trying to inflate the score, this is illegal and i hope they stop.

I had a blast playing the game! The main character is a "smartass" who throws rants like Troy Baker in Arcania, and a "badass" who makes enemies for breakfast after a few hours with nimble combos of nicely modeled weapons. The level design is not as stunning as in Steelrising, but it is properly Dark-Souls-like connected and a joy to explore/view. Souls-like gameplay dictates an action-oriented approach to solving quests, but at certain moments you can decide to betray someone or, on the contrary, save them, and this gives the game the illusion that there is no need to solve everything with violence. The game is pretty buggy and will need some work, but the bugs didn't stop me from finishing the game. Some achievements related to the decision in the story did not unlock, which ****. Anyway, the "bug hunt" that the developers announced AFTER the release, I think should take place BEFORE the release and it can be seen that no one tested some "logical" combinations of progress and decisions. Of course, I have to point out that it's a Czech game, which I'm quite proud of! The game immediately won me over and I didn't leave it until I finished it in one sitting - the first time as a king with the Naboru queen. Way to go guys, that's how it's done!

Moral dilemmas do not mesh well with low-brow humor, while the game’s Souls-like approach is hampered by poorly implemented combat. The Last Oricru might entertain you… but will not excite.

If you love action RPG with some Dark Souls elements in combat and nice to look at fusion of fantasy and sci-fi, you just have to give a try to the Last Oricru. Story and characters are just great and interesting, the developers obviously love their game and give it full support. Game of the year 2022 for me.

What a great game! Seriously! I've enjoyed it a lot. Visuals are great, characters interesting, music smooth and voice acting well performed. Overall it is like an easier Darks Souls with scifi mixed in. Very immersive. Combat is challenging. Items, skills, upgrading, exploring... It's all in there. The main character is quite a chad :) Very fresh. I've encountered only one minor bug and they're working on fixing it with the next patch. Don't listen to hateful crybabies and try the game yourself. It is a ride.

The ambitious Czech RPG paid the price for unnecessary mistakes, which make it one of this year's gaming disappointments.

The Last Oricru starts from some good ideas but unfortunately poorly developed or not fully developed. Almost everything is to be reviewed, from the narrative choises and characterization to the combat system, bad most of the time. Hopefully, these criticisms will lead to a more refined second job.

Action role-playing game with an inherently interesting story, yet it suffers from countless technical issues.

The Last Oricru can be terrible in some parts, but when it's good, it's delightful — though, I can't recommend it outside of its co-op elements, and I'd avoid it as a single-player title overall.

I completed the game and have to say... I know it is AA game and a lot of things are not fixed yet, but be honest. Which new game has no bugs at all? NONE... Devs deserve positive reactions because of what they want to achieve. This game has really big potential to be great, but it will need few patches. Still 10/10 is what I am going to give.

I havent completed the game yet but its a game where choices really matter and the game is fun
Opposite to what it seems, and also for that reason the greatest mistake is to want to look at this game like a souls one. Yeah. The mechabics arw the same but the focus on this game isnt the combat, it is its plot.
Probably it isnt a 10, but it doesnt deserve all the hate. Also, co-op is a plus.

Weak story, insufferable protagonist, and barebones souls-like systems, The Last Oricru does not bring anything new to the genre.
SummaryThe Last Oricru is a story-driven action RPG, that puts you in the middle of an ongoing conflict between two races, on a partly terraformed planet, isolated from outer space by a protective barrier. Your decisions will bring interesting twists into the gameplay, as you can heavily influence the conflict and its outcome. You will experien... Read More
