I’m a fan of strategic grid-based RPGs. My first was Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, and I soon found myself enjoying the likes of Disgaea and Fire Emblem. I still love these games, but aside from Disgaea and Fire Emblem, they are few and far between, with the closest and most commonly relative being the XCOM-like games, such as Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle and, um, XCOM. But I hunger for those deep, tactical games to be more common, so there’s more of them for me to play. That’s exactly why I couldn’t stop smiling when I saw The Last Spell.

Taking major cues from the Final Fantasy Tactics and Fire Emblem series, The Last Spell is a tactical RPG mixed with the wave-based horde-destroying gameplay you see in the likes of Left 4 Dead and many other wave-survival shooters. You have a small team of units which defend a town from the encroaching undead night after night, and you must persevere and survive. Survival is pretty important too, as death is permanent in this game, and can see you losing a lot of units.
