"A roguelike tower defence game that doesn&s;t throw any punches in relation to its story, pixelated graphics and killer soundtrack. I&s;m sure you&s;ll have a blast on the pursuit to banish all magic with The Last Spell."

"This is a highly niche title that expects a lot from the player but gives back in equal measure if you have the time and energy."

"The Last Spell combines RPG, Tower Defense, and City Builder genres, with the extermination of numerous hordes as seen in They Are Billions, managing combat with the beloved turn-based system. The problem is precisly here: each run is a complex …"
