The Last Hex Reviews

Perhaps a little lacking in polish of the details and you'll unlock everything way before you've completed a fraction of the different modes and challenges, but it's really fun. Give it a go!

This is a pretty basic card adventure game, so if you're expecting something nuanced or complex, you'll be greatly disappointed. Your character starts out on the left side of a long hex-based map, encountering progressively move powerful monsters as you proceed to the right hand side of the map where you'll battle the game's final boss. Along the way you'll find a few towns and treasure locations. The game has a large number of cards, however, nearly all of them fall into three categories - 1) add armor to the character/monster, 2) inflict damage point on the enemy, 3) heal or deflect. There are a few cards that do other things, but play primarily involves the above three card types. Monsters aren't too inspired either, with the exception of a few creatures, most have little to differentiate themselves from each other outside of hit points and the ability to inflict damage. Also, I'd add, there's a ridiculously huge leap between the difficulty between the most powerful monsters you'll encounter and the final boss. Overall The Last Hex fails to present any real characteristics that inspire play. It's technically not a bad game, just rather bland. It's unfortunate that Steam only allows for a thumbs up or thumbs down, because this game should qualify for something in between. Grade wise, it's a C minus.

+Player choice & control -Doesn't drive you to play more -Ugly -UX/UI could be improved -Lacks polish The genre is down right my aisle, yet I wasn't interested playing a second run after completing the game on the first. = I would not recommend the game for myself.
