The Last Oricru Review – Why am I The Last One?

The Last Oricru is an action RPG developed by GoldKnights and published by Prime Matter. The game heavily emphasizes on storytelling and the player’s choices as they are thrown into a sci-fi medieval world where a civil war between two factions is on the verge of happening.

The game was released on October 12th, 2022 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and PC via Steam. For this review, The Last Oricru is played via PC.

The Last Story
The Last Oricru is set in an alien world called Wardenia, where a civil war has broken out here between two factions; Naboru and Ratkins. You will be controlling Silver, an immortal warrior that was shoved into this world and you can choose which side you want to support.

Support, betray, whatever choices you make between the two factions will ultimately decide the fate of the world. This is where the game comes in strong. There are tons of endings in this game and your performance could also affect it.

The Last Thoughts
All in all, The Last Oricru was heavily carried by its appeal of branching storylines and replayability. The combat might appeal to some, especially to Souls fans but making it less punishing might actually do more harm then good since it was the harsh difficulty that got Soulslike its fame.

The game does come with voice acting but it is definitely a hit-or-miss with it and a couple of the dialogues in the game just hurts when reading it out.

Nonetheless, The Last Oricru is a decent game if you want to pick something up to quench your gaming thirst. The story is amazing and the scenery can at times, be truly breath-taking to look at.

Score: 6/10

The Last Oricru Review - The Final Verdict

The Last Oricru is not a game I would generally recommend. For every thing I really liked, there were at least two or three adjacent blunders making my eyes roll into the back of my skull. While the negatives and positives do end up mostly canceling each other out for me, I’m not going to sit here and say it’s a complete failure or does nothing well. But given that it exists in a sea of other similar games where it so often fails to keep its head above the water let alone compete with the bigger successes of the genre, it’s a pretty tough sell.
Hardcore souls-borne fans that consume every game that comes their way might enjoy it’s distinct art direction and steady progression, but upon comparing it to any other similar game they will likely walk away feeling neutral about it at best. To me, The Last Oricru basically embodies mediocrity. It’s not strikingly bad, nor is it what I would call good. It mostly lives on a very fine line between the two, only occasionally leaning towards one side or the other.

About The Last Oricru

The Last Oricru is an action RPG, that puts you in the middle of ongoing conflict under the protective shield on the otherwise abandoned planet. Your decisions bring interesting twists into the gameplay as you can heavily influence the conflict and its outcome. You will experience hundreds of intense fights in a brutal medieval sci-fi world, where every action has its consequences. Level up your hero and improve your skills before facing one of many boss fights.

Intriguing Story

In the world of The Last Oricru the advanced technology is mostly forgotten. The last remains are perceived as magical objects and only a few chosen ones can be used. Some of the advanced technology such as Cradle of Life can be used by The Last Oricru only.

Impactful Decisions

Massive decision tree in which your decisions lead to a different outcome, affecting story, characters, game endings but also visuals of levels or the gameplay flow. Every action, sub-quest, or death can affect your reputation with each faction. There are multiple ways to play through The Last Oricru – befriend everyone or be the bad guy with all the consequences.

Challenging Combat

The combat is complex and aims to create a tough but rewarding experience. You will encounter various mass fights, in which you can influence already raging battles – take down enemy soldiers or come to their aid. Melee and ranged attacks, elemental damage (magic) and weight management offers a wide range of customization. Be prepared to die… A lot!

Couch Coop

The game offers many situations that can be solved in co-op differently than in the single player. You can find new fun ways of how to win in boss fights or reach special secret areas. At the end of the day, combat is the bread and butter of any RPG so if you for example play as a melee tank, while the second player plays a magic support, you will enjoy tens of awesome hours of shared fun!
