The Last Faith is an upcoming gothic platformer from Kumi Souls Games. But is The Last Faith also Soulslike? Let’s see.
Soulslike games are a type of game that has a higher level of difficulty, usually a darker setting and deep world-building. Pioneered by games like Demon’s Souls and Dark Souls, Soulslike games are a favorite among gamers who like a challenge. The Last Faith has a darker theme, where you play as Eryk, an amnesiac, fighting through the ruined streets of a mysterious city. You will encounter various creepy gothic-themed enemies, looking like something out of Castlevania. Does that make The Last Faith Soulslike? Let’s find out.
Is The Last Faith a Soulslike Game?
Yes, the game is officially tagged as a dark, gothic fusion of Metroidvania and Soulslike. It is described as having stunning visual effects, different combos, special attacks, and several types of dodges, providing a deep and satisfying reactive action combat. You can switch between a variety number of weapons and each of them has different stats and special movesets. This sounds very Soulslike, don’t you think? But what does being Metroidvania mean for The Last Faith? Read on.
Is The Last Faith Metroidvania?
The Last Faith is indeed described as a Metroidvania, besides being Soulslike. That means that the game features non-linear exploration, sometimes requiring an item or an ability to enter certain areas. For example, you need to unlock some flying abilities to reach an area that is too high to jump to.
The developers have stated “The game is a Metroidvania at the core, which means levels are designed to be non-linear. You are free to explore even the most hidden secret part of the world, you will travel through a giant world connected by different levels and huge environments, and it presents a variety of puzzles to unlock different areas and secret areas of the game. You will acquire a large number of abilities, not only to help your combat situations but mostly needed to progress on new parts of the game.” We can expect flying, wall-jumping, zip-lining, and more.
