Enotria: The Last Song Release

Enotria The Last Song

Enotria: The Last Song, a colorful soulslike from the Milan-based team Jyamma Games, has been released on Steam. The press has already studied the review version of the game and shared their feedback.

Enotria's average OpenCritic score is 74/100 (six reviews). Journalists praise The Last Song for its picturesque landscapes and non-trivial ideas in the role-playing system, but complain about the lopsided implementation - the authors overdid it with the mechanics and did not bring the difficulty balance to mind. In addition, performance is lame - one can only dream of a stable frame rate.

DualShockers — 8/10

"Enotria: The Last Song is a soulslike that plays big, and despite a few rough edges, the risk has paid off in many ways. The ability to experiment with leveling, build tactics with gear sets, and take on the roles of defeated enemies sets the game apart from its peers. Enotria backs these features up with impressive graphics, an interesting world with elements of Italian folklore, and several memorable bosses. Unfortunately, performance issues, low difficulty, and show-off mechanics prevent the game from becoming an icon in its subgenre, but I have a feeling that when the curtain falls and the actors take their final bow, many viewers will still be clapping and throwing roses on the stage."

IGN — 7/10

"Beyond the basic combat, Enotria: The Last Song struggles to stand out from the standard soulslike crowd. Its sun-drenched environments and quirky character designs inspired by Italian folklore are a breath of Alpine air. The combat is solid, despite sudden difficulty spikes (most battles are skippable anyway) and a cluttered system that relies on intricate abilities and stats. A clunky RPG system and frame rate dips at moments when performance matters most are what keep Enotria from taking over the scene."

Tom’s Hardware Italia — 6,5/10

"Enotria: The Last Song is a light-hearted comedy that could have been emotional if it weren't for its stubborn attempts to be soulslike. Jyamma has certainly created an intriguing world and shown a knack for bringing fresh and engaging game design ideas to life. Unfortunately, it's all let down by the team's inexperience - the foundations of the game aren't as solid as you'd expect from a game in this genre. The result is a flawed, unbalanced, and clunky combat system that's constrained by the desire to make a difficult game simply because the genre demands it."

On September 19, Enotria: The Last Song will reach the Epic Games Store and PlayStation 5. The new product will also visit the Xbox Series, but later: if we believe the boss of Jyamma, the delay was due to Microsoft - it ignored the studio's application for a long time.
