what is a turn based strategy game if not a puzzle to kill your opponents in the most efficient way possible2 found this helpful
A fun little game with an interesting combat system, a nice story, and a lot of character.2 found this helpful
I've been trying to catch up with items I had lying around my library from old bundles I bought a decade ago, and finally came across Last Word. Its unique premise caught my attention so I installed it, but I wasn't sure what to expect from the trailer and store description. To be completely honest, what definitely sold me on it was seeing it on a recent trend recommending undersold games alongside my own, and I'm really happy I gave it a go; I think this game is a stellar example of what can be made with RPG Maker. Those 6 hours simply flew by. The combat is extremely unique (and challenging if you neglect grinding a bit, but I actually like it better that way!) The characters werer all very well defined and fun to get to know, and I thoroughly enjoyed my time with them trying to get every answer before levelling up topics. Mind you, the age and the engine shows mostly in the UI -- the window size made playing really hard, and I had to squint a lot to read. I would really love any options to scale up the windows! Thank you for making such a wonderful game!1 found this helpful
Credit where it's due, the battle system is interesting mechanically and conceptually, and the game does provide some strategic advice, ultimately the outcome is based mostly on your level relative to your opponent. In a textbook example of a excessive difficulty spike, you can't progress without beating an opponent that'll likely be about twice your level, basically forcing you into a particularly slow level grind. I also found the tone and story concept to not jell that well.1 found this helpful

Short but clever game. Worth 4 hours every 5-10 years.1 found this helpful
