Castlevania on ‘roids
Anyone up for side-scrollingBloodborne? That’s the distinct vibe emitting from every gothic orifice ofThe Last Faith, a Metroidvania coming this year. Some more footage of the thwack ‘em up platformer was shown off at today’s Future Games Show. You can stroke your beard and make approving sounds at it, if you watch the trailer below.
You’ll play as a bloke called Eric who is highly efficient at slashing and shooting even the largest of monstrosities, which is quite handy because there’s a lot and they’ve invaded. Developers Kumi Souls Games say the combat is precise, and there’s a “huge range of custom executions”. Erm, thanks, I guess? All the beastie-fighting is to “subvert a hidden prophecy”, apparently. I’m guessing that means somebody wants to destroy the world or similar. Whoever is up to whatever, the devs say there’ll be a lot of weapons to attack them with. I spotted at least axes, rifles, shurikens and Eric’s fists on top of the standard sword.
