9/14/2023 0 Comments Idle chitchat in romana![]() ![]() Being a souls-like, I was expecting to die as regularly as I do in Elden Ring, however the enemy difficulty was quite forgiving. Aside from that though, the graphics and detail of the game are superb and run smoothly with my RTX 3080.Ĭombat is fluid with the use of blocks and dodging taking stamina, and you will use a vast array of weapons and armour throughout the game. Silver’s hair seems to be strangely animated too compared to most other characters as it shimmered in some scenes and looked wiry in others. The voice acting for all characters, both Naboru and the Ratkin, is excellent, though I felt that Silver’s voice didn’t quite match the aesthetic of his character. As you kill npcs in the game you will gain essence, and in certain areas of zones you will come across a strange device that gives you a captain’s log of events, and an opportunity to level up, invite co-op players, or exchange items for currency. Inventory weight is handled interestingly in that you can carry as many things as you like, but the armour and weapons you equip have a weight limit, depending on your player statistics. I really liked the RPG elements in The Last Oricru with the various item qualities and being on the hunt for better gear, collecting resources to be able to upgrade items, and dismantling your old ones that don’t suit your playstyle. ![]() It did mean though that I didn’t dwell on decisions whichever way they went in my first playthrough, and my second playthrough I was well armed to be able to pick a side and know how to gain their favour. This happened a lot in my playthrough where I had intentions to help a particular person or situation, but the story progresses quickly. However, after heading back to talk to Tobias, it popped up that I had failed to provide Gok with a medkit, and the story moved on. After leaving Gok, I did some exploring to look for a med kid, and I spoke to every character I came across. Gok wanted me to find a medical kit for him and I did actually want to side with the Ratkin as I love a good underdog story. However, I wasn’t ready for how quickly things can change. I interviewed Vladimír Geršl from GoldKnights last year during the game’s development, so I was aware of the branching storylines as you help or dismiss characters along your journey. Or when Gok the Armorer gave us an insight into the mistreatment of his fellow ratkin and that we should help him. Later, that glowing lightning rod was the start of many pivotal items that would sway my favour with the two starting factions one way or another. I thought it funny at first that Silver pointed it out and dismissed it as Tobias got us to work. Hints are given as to objects to investigate further or to note for later use, such as the glowing lightning rod behind Tobias. ![]() Throughout the dialogue between characters, what seems like idle chitchat actually means something later on, and sometimes it has an effect that matters hours later in game time. With nothing else to go on but their word, Silver is left to uncover the truth behind his predicament on his own. It is explained that the belt you are wearing gives you immortality and you will resurrect if you die, and given this trait, you are invaluable in the upcoming war against the Ratkin. After a quick tutorial sequence that takes you through the basics of third-person stamina-based combat, you find yourself awake and alive in a castle with rats scrubbing the floors and the Naboru faction in charge. As darkness closes in, an artificial intelligence speaks to you in garbled and cryptic words, sending you on a mission to find the lady of the lake. Later on, this alien species is identified as a third faction, the Broken Army. Silver wakes up with amnesia, unsure where he is as he witnesses an alien being murder someone and then turn the blade on him. Wearing a belt of immortality, you will navigate the war with words, smart whit and even sharper blades in this souls-like experience that had great humour mixed with some fantastic world design. There is a strong emphasis on storytelling and player choices with a branching narrative as main character Silver finds himself caught in a civil war on the terraformed planet of Wardenia. The game released on Octoon PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S and canbe played in local split screen or online co-op. The Last Oricru is a scifi souls-like action RPG developed by GoldKnights and published by Prime Matter. ![]()
