The Last Faith is a premium action game created by studio Kumi Souls Games for PC. It's a 2D side-scrolling platformer that took inspiration and was created in Metroidvania styling. It places great emphasis on exploration through its intricately designed and interconnected open world.

Much like most games in the Metroidvania genre, such as Hollow Knight or Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon, The Last Faith uses gothic and horror themes for its narrative. It also features a beautiful pixel art style and graphics to go with its overall presentation and slick combat animations.

Explore a gothic and horror-filled city

The Last Faith is set in a once majestic and flourishing capital that has been ruled by an ancient religion for centuries. It has now been abandoned after being struck by a fatal disease that corrupted the city and has manifested horrific abominations in its wake. You play as Eric, and it's your mission to subvert a hidden prophecy and discover the truth behind what happened.

The game features a vast open world filled with interconnected streets, buildings, and hallways for you to explore. There are various weapon types to choose from for the journey ahead, including swords, whips, and spears. They can be paired with powerful buffs to enhance their effectiveness, as well as magic spells and special abilities to deal huge amounts of damage.

What's more, you will encounter puzzles that need solving and hidden treasures that provide bonuses and rare items that will come in handy as you face gradually tougher enemies and bosses. If you're interested in playing it, you'll have to wait for a while longer as it's not out yet. There's also no official word on when it will officially release. Check its Steam page regularly for updates.

Defy prophecy

In conclusion, The Last Faith is looking like an intriguing Metroidvania game that takes a lot of inspiration from classic titles like the Castlevania series for its combat and presentation. It features beautiful pixel graphics, slick combat, and plenty of weapons and spells to play around with. Keep this one on your radar when it finally releases.
