The Last Oricru

"The Last Oricru is a narrative action role-playing game that tries to combine the soulslike formula with the factors that affect decision-making."

"An action RPG that fails in almost any of its aspects: the resulting experience is unsatisfactory."

"The Last Oricru may not be the game with the most elaborate dialogue system in the world, but it makes up for it with a unique universe, a story that catches from minute one and decisions that matter. It&s;s a …"

"Net of a fairly interesting story and able to offer some interesting narrative crossroads, the first work of GoldKnights did not convince us to the end."

"Player enjoyment from The Last Oricru relies heavily on what matters to them. If they are looking for a fun co-op romp with interesting build possibilities to toy around with, the game is likely worth picking up on sale. However, …"

"The Last Oricru can be terrible in some parts, but when it&s;s good, it&s;s delightful - though, I can&s;t recommend it outside of its co-op elements, and I&s;d avoid it as a single-player title overall."

"The Last Oricru was a very ambitious idea, and in its final form, it is not exactly a failure, but compared to other games in its genre, it cannot defend its name well enough. The constant technical difficulties, the cumbersome …"

"The Last Oricru is a cynical attempt at a Dark Souls successor. So many aspects of the game fall short to capture the same thrills within the series and its other imitators. With unsatisfying gameplay, a cliche-ridden story, and poor …"

"More fun than Starfield"

"A game of light and shadows. On the one hand, its exquisite story, setting and decisions will immerse us fully in its world. However, its combat mechanics can take us out of it."

"The Last Oricru is a souls-lite title with a strong RPG edge. Furthermore, it has a dry sense of humour, a rich story, and interesting characters. However, poor acting, tainted visuals, and repetitive combat hold it back. Accordingly, you may …"

"The world too is absolutely beautiful. There’s a view you get early on of a seduction of the cover art that’s currently serving as my Xbox’s home screen. Problems with the type of story they’re trying to tell being told …"

"The Last Oricru aims to combine the Souls style with the more traditional RPG, but it fails to live up to such an ambitious promise. Its main burden is in a combat system that falls far short of the necessary …"

"Another drop in the vast ocean of action RPG’s, The Last Oricru brings nothing new to the much-treaded waters. Worse still, it lacks the refinement and polish to make it a barely passable romp, feeling as rough around the edges …"

"I can appreciate a game with some jankiness if its world is rich, the characters are well fleshed out, and the story is compelling. I loved GreedFall for this exact reason, despite its flaws. Unfortunately, The Last Oricru feels like …"

"I believe The Last Oricru is worth your time because it offers a truly interesting way of shaping its story. But first, the developers have to eliminate tons of bugs and fix the game’s performance. Only then it will be …"

"The Last Oricru is a masterpiece of bad design. When a game has to warn its players not to invest in half the available skill points because they’re worthless, you know you’ve got something special, and that’s what Oricru is …"

"The Last Oricru is undoubtedly flawed, but underneath a rough exterior and a multitude of bugs and glitches hides a videogame made with clear passion, focusing more on an engaging story with many branching paths rather than a particularly deep …"

"The Last Oricru gains momentum about as often as it trips over itself, resulting in a very mediocre game overall."

"The Last Oricru has a great storyline to back up the experience in an atmosphere that echoes the impact of the choices you make. For my playthrough, I decided to join the rats and the rat-volution. The most enjoyable aspect …"

"Although rough around the edges, The Last Oricru delivered on what it intended to do. The game provided a decent souls like experience, with fun combat, great co-op, and an engaging premise. Best of all, this was all baked on …"

"There are so many Soulslikes to choose from that no gamer has time to sample them all. Although it can’t find a consistent tone, The Last Oricru has a much better narrative arc than it does action or gameplay. Whatever …"

"Once we have experienced the Ratkins perspective, we may update our final verdict but so far we have loved our time with The Last Oricru. If you are a fan of RPGs and Soulsbourne games, you should have a good …"

"The Last Oricru has some decent ideas and will scratch an itch for fans of Risen, but it&s;s not quite good enough to overshadow its peers."

"The Last Oricru just can&s;t seem to make up its mind. Strong presentation and performance are enough to get you in the door, but lack any significant development throughout the 10+ hour playtime. Sporting a weak story, insufferable protagonist, and …"

"The result is a game that, despite the notable effort put forth into its writing and storytelling, is constantly dragged down by technical issues and an unrefined combat system."

"I would definitely recommend DRAGON BALL: THE BREAKERS to fans of the series, because they’ll appreciate the game much more than someone who doesn’t know what Dragon Ball is all about. However, the developers also took into account that their …"

"The Last Oricru is a unique new entry to the souls-like genre that offers a significant amount of player agency to shape the world around you."

"Having said all that, despite the fun that co-op brings, it isn’t enough to turn The Last Oricru into a recommendation, unfortunately. The amateur-hour writing and uneven combat are just too difficult to overlook especially considering just how stuffed the …"

"Overreaching? After thorough analysis, while I personally enjoyed The Last Oricru, it&s;s hard to promote GoldKnights&s; debut, marred by design and execution issues. The title is built on ambitious pillars inspired by notable references, but production flaws make it hard …"

"The Last Oricru tried to balance its design between in-depth narratives of CRPG and Souls-like heavy action. On top of that, a world that is a mixture of myth, science and magic is also compelling. However, it becomes frustrating when …"

"I wanted to like The Last Oricru very much, I was intrigued by the fish out of water story, but the abrasiveness of the main character and the basic feeling combat just killed it for me. There is a case …"

"The ambitious Czech RPG paid the price for unnecessary mistakes, which make it one of this year&s;s gaming disappointments."

"The Last Onicru features some cool narrative choice work, putting some true impact on your choices. If you can get on board with the cheeky dialogue and peculiar main character, you should be able to overlook the lackadaisical combat."

"The Last Oricru is a fun storytelling experience told through the eyes of the Souls-like genre. It&s;s great to see everyone working for their own ends, and not being able to identify who is good and bad from the start. …"
