About The Last Hex
✦ AI summary
Build a unique deck-wielding hero to battle an encroaching undead army across randomized maps where every equipment choice, stat boost, and card selection shapes your combat strategy and survivability. With 14 classes, hundreds of customizable cards and gear, procedurally-generated challenges, and the freedom to adapt your build mid-run, no two runs feel the same as you race against time to stop the undead leader before the kingdom falls.
Not your typical deckbuilder
Each aspect of your character will be needed for success. Your abilities, which are represented by your deck, determine what actions you can take in battle. As your journey continues you will grow in strength by finding new and more powerful equipment to enhance those abilities or provide other unique bonuses. Finally, through training, you will become stronger, smarter, faster and overall more effective with every action taken not only in combat, but throughout your adventure. Universally adaptable, the way you build your character along with the cards you select gives full customization allowing for mid-game changes to your build and style.
What choices will you make to achieve your goals?
- Never be caught unprepared! An RPG style potion system that allows you to carry and use them when they will benefit you the most!
- An item for every situation. The Inventory system allows you to carry and equip what you need when you need it.
- Limitless potential. A dynamic stat system that allows for both lasting and temporary improvement to all cards.
A kingdom in peril
As the undead army approaches and time is running out! You alone are brave enough to face this threat head on. Your quest for salvation will be fraught with danger every step of the way but with skill, cunning and a dash of luck you will halt the advance before the kingdom burns. With little hope except the destruction of the undead leader you must traverse these hostile lands and slay the fiend before it is too late.
What will you sacrifice for success?
Every run is unique
Every time you embark on a new journey a random map is created, containing enemy camps, events and cities with their own exhaustible shops. As you make your way through the map, monsters will grow in difficulty and you will find better cards and equipment. However, as you explore, the undead army will slowly take over the map destroying cities and events in its wake. Exploration is key to creating a powerful character, but as the undead spread it serves to empower your foe.

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
This is a pretty basic card adventure game, so if you're expecting something nuanced or complex, you'll be greatly disappointed. Your character starts out on the left side of a long hex-based map, encountering progressively move powerful monsters as you proceed to the right hand side of the map where you'll battle the game's final boss. Along the way you'll find a few towns and treasure locations. The game has a large number of cards, however, nearly all of them fall into three categories - 1) add armor to the character/monster, 2) inflict damage point on the enemy, 3) heal or deflect. There are a few cards that do other things, but play primarily involves the above three card types. Monsters aren't too inspired either, with the exception of a few creatures, most have little to differentiate themselves from each other outside of hit points and the ability to inflict damage. Also, I'd add, there's a ridiculously huge leap between the difficulty between the most powerful monsters you'll encounter and the final boss. Overall The Last Hex fails to present any real characteristics that inspire play. It's technically not a bad game, just rather bland. It's unfortunate that Steam …3 found this helpful
Some of the reviews are devastating and I almost avoided the game, but got it due to a deep discount. This game is actually quite entertaining. Sure it isn't as expansive as say, Spire, but... I was able to build and win with multiple playstyles so far. I have won as a poison/regen rogue, an debuff/tank warrior, and surprisingly a life steal / heavy armor wizard where I am able to get my shield up super high then sacrifice it to one hit kill enemies. Will eventually see what I can do with bleed, fire, ice.

Perhaps a little lacking in polish of the details and you'll unlock everything way before you've completed a fraction of the different modes and challenges, but it's really fun. Give it a go!
I moderately liked it at first. Then I realized it's crap. More I played, crappier it got. Buy it only if it's on a HUGE sale.
Long long journey on the same maps with the same cards and the same (some) characters, and with the same sound effects. Avarage, playable card game. it is good for a sleeping pill too.
