Last Ditch Effort

Story-driven pixel-art character action in a world sunk by a war that never ends. You play as Igor Emmerich, the last Einherjar of a fallen order, who sets out to hunt his own master before he opens a gate where any wish is granted at a heavy price. Combat is fast and the control is yours: strikes that land with weight, and enemies that test your timing. The animation is hand-drawn frame by frame, with no tweening, and what happens between fights is told through comic panels and animated cutscenes. Moonwell Games makes it and Trellis Inc. publishes. It is single player with controller support. It arrives in 2027, on PC, and for now in English only.
