About The Last Islands of Man

The Last Islands of Man is a retro rpg that will test your time management and efficiency. Every fight you make, every step you take, every nap you sneak, might cost you. The waters of the world are rising. Major countries and cities have been washed away by the steady advance. Now your small village of Akalabeth might be the last. Refugees are now as common as the monsters in the dungeons. The world is more dangerous and our time remaining is dwindling. Can you save yourself from the villains around you? Can you save your family from the strengthening monsters crawling out of the depths? The village of Akalabeth and the surrounding islands have been open to your exploration for years as you grew up. Instead of challenging the world you stayed close to home, playing with your friends, reading and not learning the skills needed to survive. You've ignored the perils facing the world, just as your parents have, and then one day it seems your mother has had enough ...

UNIQUE SOUNDTRACK

Monplaisir's dirty guitar melodies braced with Bartmann's fuller orchestral efforts really push the experience of traveling the fields and digging through caves. A game by T.C. Forsdike

I wanted to like this game, but I can't recommend it in its current state. I played this game after watching a critique of it and liking the idea of a game which is brutally difficult, time-bound, and allowed for different classes for your own experience. The game is brutally difficult, but not in a fair way, its just blatantly unbalanced at quite a few points. The initial premise is that the world is being overrun in water, and people and monsters are fighting for the last few scraps of land that remain, you as the hero, are trying to find a solution. That said let's go over the individual points. [b]Sound 8/10[/b] The sound is what drew me to this game over anything else. The ambient sounds in particular fit so well with the theme of the game. The idea of sailing around looking for the last vestiges of humanity on a time-bound game really appealed to me, and the soundtrack really nails this idea most of the time. The over world music is just fantastic. The battle music a little less so, but it has some really good points as well, notably it's boss battle music, although you hear it very infrequently through the game. [b]Graphics 4/10[/b] The Graphics are nothing to write home …
