"The Last Hero of Nostalgaia pays homage to soulslike genre while telling a funny story with a lot of good irony. Nonetheless, the overall quality is too low for a demanding genre wit too many good games."

"On providing a premise far removed from the regularly harrowing and oppressive tone we&s;re used to, you can&s;t fault developer Over the Moon Games&s; more satirical intentions."
