Castlevania on roids

Anyone up for side-scrollingBloodborne?

Thats the distinct vibe emitting from every gothic orifice ofThe Last Faith, a Metroidvania coming this year.

Some more footage of the thwack em up platformer was shown off at todays Future Games Show.

The Last Faith is a side-scrolling platformer in the Metroidvania and Soulslike styles.

Developers Kumi Souls Games say the combat is precise, and theres a huge range of custom executions.

Erm, thanks, I guess?

All the beastie-fighting is to subvert a hidden prophecy, apparently.

Im guessing that means somebody wants to destroy the world or similar.

Whoever is up to whatever, the devs say therell be a lot of weapons to attack them with.

I spotted at least axes, rifles, shurikens and Erics fists on top of the standard sword.

The devs call it an unholy alliance of Metroidvania and Soulslike, which, well, yeah.

Good shout, folks.

The Last Faith is out onSteamduring 2022.

No day to report, Im afraid.

Its also going to be on those cheeky consoles.

Theres an official sitehereif you want to investigate further.
