[PS5] The Last Hero: Exploring the Unknown – A Review

Sure, here goes nothing:

—

Alright, so here I am, diving headfirst into “The Last Hero: Journey to the Unknown.” It’s this 2D game from Ratalaika Games and Titan Art Games, and honestly, it’s like chilling in this magical place where chaos rules—so relate, right? You’re out there fighting the minions of some dude named Wizard Voidgem who just couldn’t resist stealing magical relics. Typical! You’re the hero now—like, no pressure—and you’ve got to slash your way through more than 30 levels. I know, I know, sounds intense, right?

So anyway—was I talking about controls? Whatever, you’re there with a sword and shield. The Square button’s for attack—kind of obvious, I guess? Circle’s like, defense mode. You can roll, dash, jump—basically your typical hero stuff. That special power, though—charges up as you go, and let’s just say, you’re really gonna need that against the bosses. Wild.

Oh, and the sounds! The enemies falling? It’s sorta like breaking a crunchy taco shell, if I’m being honest. Okay, moving on. You snag coins as you defeat these monsters—big and small—and those coins help you level up. Like, ever thought of conjuring meteors? Because that’s totally a thing here. Plus, fireballs splitting into stones and spiky peaks shooting up from the ground? Completely normal day in this game.

Had to chuckle a bit—classic Ratalaika stuff. There’s a Platinum trophy up for grabs, plus, it’s Cross-Buy—meaning you get it for PS4 and PS5 at once. One package, two sets of shiny trophies. Perks of being a collector, I suppose. If you need a cheat sheet—there’s a Trophy Guide floating somewhere out there. Handy, huh?

And gems! Beat a level, hoard health, get more gems. Those gems, my friend, are your ticket to the potion shop. Potions that add extra hearts or double your loot? Yep, got those too. It’s like they thought of everything.

It’s $4.99, and bam, you’re a hero across platforms. What a time to be alive—or playing games, same thing. Also, shoutout to Ratalaika ’cause they let me review this on a PlayStation 5. Good times.

Anyway, what was I saying… oh yeah, try it out. If you’re into wave-based magical adventures, where chaos reigns and you’re the somewhat reluctant hero… then, maybe this one’s for you. Or not. Who knows, right?
