This is a decent metroidvania. You can see it has a lot of influences from Hollow Knight. UI is a little jank as the map needs some improvement, but is supposed to get patched soon. The gameplay itself is solid, works good on KB+M and has rebindable controls. I played the hardest difficulty and found it to be completely reasonable. Finished with 99% completion in 10-11 hours.

Last Vanguard is a 2D Hand Drawn War Themed Metroidvania with an amazing story about the last remaining vanguard soldier recruit on a mission to take down the absolute leader and his armies and to bring bring back peace and end the war.

The game was super flawless, I didn't face a single bug. The game came out recently from early access version and it's now officially in v1.0. The game is super polished and it shows the devs worked hard day and night to make this amazing game.

There are multiple biomes from deserts to snow mountains full of secrets and puzzles / platforming sections to solve and you will be rewarded with abilities and gadgets to equip on you character to become stronger and endure your tough mission. There are also multiple weapons which you can equip depending on your style.

The music was so nostalgic and calming even though it's a war themed game which I found very interesting, It still allowed for amazing gaming sessions.

The boss fights were each unique with their own weapons and fighting style. It will require your focus and timing to dodge whatever is thrown at you, yet at the same time attack your enemies. It challenges you and keeps you on your toes during each battle.

Very recommended metroidvania and also, If you've been waiting this game to come out of early access, then now is the best time to go ahead and complete the story. Thanks once again to the devs for this amazing game.

Overall Rating 10/10

Nice game so far!
