I think if I would have played the game at launch I would have enjoyed it but it looks the patches have changed a lot since then: 1. The bosses seem to have a lot more HP and are more resistant to elemental attacks which makes boss fights feel drawn out and tedious. Especially when they have two health bars to get through. 2. Controls are slow and clunky with clear delays between button presses. However, the story, …

As an old man gamer, this is gaming, pure sick af gaming. Metroidvania genre at nearly its very best. VA's, you all did an amazing job and deserve all the flowers. I'll give it a 9.6/10

What a gem this game is. Whether you like metroidvanias, tough games, gothic vibes, or just hitting abominations with oversized weapons, slashing them with samurai swords, blowing them to bits, smashing them to bits, or erasing them with magic, this is simply a strong, strong video game. I highly recommend it. + Positives + The atmosphere is phenomenal. Each area feels distinct, it's dangerous and visually rich. The …

It's a fun game, but it suffers greatly from "you can't put notes on the map". This is a very common shortcoming in metroidvania games, and I don't know why the makers of these games keep failing at this one critical aspect. It's as if they're just telling you to use a walkthrough. I don't want to use a walkthrough, I want to put my own damn notes on the map and not have to look up where to backtrack to later when I …

Quick Info Very solid metroidvania leaning towards action RPG in a gothic Van Helsing / Castlevania esque setting. Apparently it was patched and improved a lot since the release, which is why older reviews were pretty harsh. Pros Great pixel art and solid soundtrack that really build up the atmosphere Very meaty and satisfying combat SFXs Pretty solid weapon variety (especially with the new Dungeon Mode that adds …

89% of the 241 Steam reviewers we collected recommend The Last Faith. The complaint that keeps coming up: bosses lack variety and have too much HP. Deal-breaker or nitpick?

60 of 365 · most liked firstThis was my first time building a boss entirely in 3D for a pixel art game. On The Last Faith, I handled modeling, rigging, and animation for some of the main bosses. Here’s a full video demo of the project. The Last Faith by Kumi Souls Games

BETTER THAN ITS BRO: - Greater number of different weapons with its own style combat and greater variaty of skills - You can choose different attributes depending on your play style or what you need at that moment - Different elements and status effects that make the game more complex - A free DLC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that expands…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The devs added a free DLC nearly two and a half years after release. That alone deserves a positive review. This is a fantastic metroidvania. If you enjoyed the Blasphemous games, you'll be right at home here - as the Last Faith draws heavy inspiration from those games, all with a Bloodborne-esque Gothic Victorian aesthetic.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm torn between wanting a new AAA game similar to the God of War reboot (which I also love) or for an indie developer to take a crack at making a modern pixel metroidvania like Blasphemous or The Last Faith. A game about young Julius Belmont would also be very nice~

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So without further ado- my favorite games I played this year! First up- The Last Faith Bloodborne meets 2D Metroidvania with gorgeous pixel art. I know some folks were mixed on this game but man I loved it from start to finish. The dark tone and flexibility in gameplay style was chef's kiss
positive · AI labelView post →Familiar cathedrals, familiar monsters, familiar frustration. It may not be the most original or groundbreaking game out there, but as a gothic Metroidvania, it knows exactly how to make that familiarity work.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I don't mind that its a copy of Blasphemous and Bloodborne, because I believe indie devs above all should be able to make whatever they desire out of passion with their creative liberties. In fact I like that it's just Blasphemous and Bloodborne's lovechild, because why wouldn't I want more of some of my favorite videogames, combined even! It's just that this game does not recognize what made those games so great, more like a watered down version that's mediocre in every facet. To name the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →BEWARE: GAME BREAKING BUG that locks you out of late game content. The unborn children can be given to an NPC too quickly and then not counted, and the developers were told about this years ago and they still have not fixed it. Even though it is a serious lock that ruins your save file. But they had no problem releasing a money grab DLC to get people to buy it without addressing this issue. It's giving scam. Exploration and back-tracking were uninspired and unrewarding. Often backtracking…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm giving this a thumbs-down because the gameplay loop became boring very quickly. By the 5-hour mark, the combat had devolved into a repetitive cycle of "jump, dodge, chip damage, repeat." I suspect the core issue—as other reviewers have noted—is that the parry mechanic is gated behind a resource. The only people I can recommend The Last Faith to are die-hard soulsvania fans who has played all the better games such as Blasphemous and want even more. I can't recommend this to any other type of…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very good game, abled to be 100% on your first playthrough, smooth combat, however no NG+ and some points of no return that aren't mentioned or clearly shown can be a rude surprise, however, amazing game beautiful and gritty

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Blasphemous X Bloodborne The developers clearly drew heavy inspiration from these two games. And they did a solid job. There’s a huge variety of weapons, both melee and firearms, plus a good selection of spells. The map is quite large too. Bosses are probably the weakest part of the game. They lack variety in attacks, and I liked them a lot more in Blasphemous. As for the voice acting… The devs tried so hard to imitate the Soulsborne-style dialogue with a slight Lovecraftian touch that they…

neutral · AI labelView post →Pro: it plays decently enough, and has a vibe like, "if Tim Burton was the doctor delivering the baby of Blasphemous and Bloodborne." The fact that one of the first NPCs looks like Christina Ricci in Sleepy Hollow only strengthened that comparison. The whole time I played the game, it felt like, "we have Blasphemous at home." I could never stop comparing them. Here are the issues I had with this game: 1) Last Faith's plot is barely there, NPCs either drone endlessly on about matters that feel…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I had this game on my wishlist for a long time, but the price was a bit high and the reviews weren’t very impressive. I finally bought it during a sale, especially after seeing the news about the free DLC. After playing, I have to say this game is underrated. It’s not perfect, but it clearly has its own identity. I won’t talk about the atmosphere since many other reviews already cover that — instead, I want to focus on things that aren’t discussed as much. Difficulty This game isn’t…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My early impressions of this game are... bad, sadly. The entire game just feels like it slept past at least a decade of game design. From what I have seen as of now, proper boss move sets are also replaced by simply giving them very long health bars. Now, I am just at the very start so it could just be off to an awkward start, but usually games put their best foot forward, this one most certainly does not.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Last Faith... lord I'm digging this game.
positive · AI labelView post →This is a game where i read the negative reviews and it leaves me scratching my head. The game is nearly flawless. A nice mix of Souls-like with the Metroidvania coat. Hanging more on the Castlevania side than Metroid, but you still go around picking up upgrade and there's a variety of build as you'd expect out of souls-like. The art, can we talk about it? Pixel art at it's finest. I've never seen polish of this grandeur before. Every enemies has so many frames of animation. Multiple enemies…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Being very obviously inspired by Bloodborne + Blasphemous, it tries too much to copy them without understanding what makes them so great and without doing its own thing. The game is not that bad, I did enjoy it to some degree, like 7/10, but it's just so painfully reeks of wasted potential in so many aspects. It's more of a neutral review really. There's only 4 map marker types, even though there's more types of obstacles, and each marker type also has limit of currently placed markers. Common…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What can I say. Indie games are the best AAA games this days. My only complaint is that bosses have too much HP specially in NG+.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I usually recommend 7/10 games because good game is hard to develop, especially metroidvania. But alas, this one I cannot. It doesn't have a consistent "good part" and the quality clearly falls off mid-game. It shows potential in the first 3 hours, making one think "this is going to top Blasphemous". But as the game progresses, it gives the feeling that the devs just decided the game is not worth polishing anymore. Map design, enemies, plot, etc. Who cares? It gives too much frustration, just…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →nice mix of metroidvania + soulslike gameplay with a mix of bloodborne lore if you're into said genres
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game. Took me a while to get into it because it felt like a Blasphemous knockoff which I later realized simply meant "isn't Blasphemous 1 or 2." It's it's own thing & is really solid, fun, creative & beautiful. Give it a try

neutral · AI labelView post →Nothing has made me miss playing Blasphemous more than this game. The Last Faith has beautiful art and great atmosphere, but many of the gameplay mechanics could benefit from some tweaking. The animation for the roll, for example, seems to stop short and almost gives the impression of pausing or of not actually moving faster than if you were to just run the whole way. I wish we could hold down the arrow buttons to scroll through the menu. Instead, you have to click through every single level,…

I was screenshotting non-stop as every area seems like a painting. Music is both soothing and epic when it needs to be. This game is almost perfect, i really can't find anything wrong or which bothered me. It has the right lenght, enough collectibles and secret areas which needs to be unlocked after solving some multi-area puzzles and gathering enough power ups. Enemies are mostly all diverse…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →6.5/ 10. Great art, forgettable music, mediocre combat with very imbalanced quality of builds. Magic, ammo and interesting powers are severely limited, story is there but not interesting. Got tired by the end of it and wanted it to be finished, there's better Metroidvanias to play.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →God of War Ragnarok beaten. I've started some of the end game stuff there but also fired up The Last Faith, which is a rather nice mesh of a lot of genres I'm into so far. I suspect I'll be playing a melee heavy build in that one.

neutral · AI labelView post →Boring This game barely has any identity by itself and it's basically just 2D Dark Souls/Bloodborne while also trying very hard to be Blasphemous. Similar progression and combat mechanics to a Souls game and nearly identical pixel art style from Blasphemous even with the same gorey executions, to the point it just feels pointless to play when you can just go play Blasphemous or any FromSoftware game instead. I am personally not too into Souls-like games, but I bought it because it's a…

It has some ridiculous bosses that at the same time have: several stages, huge amoun of hp, huge damage, melee and ranged attacks that cover nearly the whole screen. Some sections of the game filled at the same time with: slippery floor, falling ice, exploding ice on the floor and walls, strong and tanky ranged enemies. I recommend you: to play Blasphemous or Castlevania: Symphony of…

neutral · AI labelView post →A really fun and engaging soulslike Metroidvania with a lot of gothic and dark themes. If you enjoy these kinds of games, I highly recommend playing this game. The game is really cheap for the amount of content in it, and there is a lot of content in this game, and while the map is relatively large, you still will not get lost and/or stuck, and it's really easy to figure out what to do or where to go next. I put 50+ hours in this game, got all the achievements, and finished the DLC (which is…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you enjoy metroidvanias, this one is a no-brainer. Weapons and Spells are very satisfying to use, the bosses are unique and fun. At the time I played it there was a tiny bit of clunk with the fluidity of combat-- but the recent patch alleviated my only gripes with the game. Definitely worth picking up.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is not for every player that likes metroidvanias, but also has to enjoy some different style of gameplay compare to the others. Pros: The game runs pretty good, no crashes, no buggs or anything similar to that. It does what the game propose to do it nothing more than that. The bosses are good, some are pretty difficult depend on your patience and expertise using you weapon.# The ambient is very dark and heavy which brings a very positive thing to the game experience. Negative:…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game #10 of 2025 finished! The Last Faith! Probably one of the best Metroidvanias I’ve played in a long time. Its atmosphere is top notch, the soundtrack is solid and the gameplay is one of the stronger 2D souls like systems I’ve come across. If you’re a fan of metroidvanias I highly suggest it!
positive · AI labelView post →This is a good game, heavily HEAVILY inspired by dark souls, almost to a fault, but overall good. The parrying in the game sucks, feels off and difficult to consistently trigger, and i would say around 20-30% through the game you become completely lost and progression can be difficult if you happen to miss an item which lets u move to the new areas. Other than that the game is very very good, great design and bosses and also very interesting areas. The weapons feels good and you will find…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Went into the game not expecting much, standard metroidvania with a level system, similar to another title such as Death's Gambit, and boy am I glad to be wrong. For starters, the art is amazing. Every area in the game was given tons of love by these artists, and Laddak's second phase where he enters into the background is straight up cinema. The music gives off a very Dark Souls 3 vibe, most noticeable similarities in the Mansion (the one where you level up) and Firelink Shrine, hell, I'm…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Yes, it is "We have Bloodborne at home", but at the same time it is it's own unique game, and I really liked it and recommend to give it a try, though there might be a time you'll be wondering "Where the hell do I go next?", so the lack of available markers for mini-map is a bit sad.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It’s difficult to review a game like The Last Faith. There’s nothing inherently wrong with it: the pixel art is nice to look at, the combat deliberate and weighty, and the exploration fairly fun. It’s just that I couldn’t shake the impression the developers have taken all their ideas from other, better, soulsvanias without a single original idea to stand out from the crowd. You play as Eryk (spelt with a “y” because its cooler), an amnesic plague-afflicted prisoner who wakes up in a cell,…
