  • graphics
    30 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game have received widespread acclaim for their stunning art style and atmospheric visuals, often described as "eye candy" and "mesmerizing." Players appreciate the unique aesthetics, particularly the effective use of a limited color palette and pixel art, which enhance the overall experience despite the game's short length and minimal gameplay.

    • “Finally, the graphics are just straight eye candy; I love the monochromatic golds that they went for here.”
    • “The last oath is a short but beautifully crafted game; the art style is honestly mesmerizing to look at!”
    • “Genuinely a very beautiful game, and the art style was amazing; I really loved how it was all in shades of yellow.”
    • “While it might not be everyone's cup of tea, I must say I enjoyed it; what they've managed to do with a pixel art style and a limited color palette is stunningly beautiful, and the soundtrack that plays as you move through the game helps build a somber tone, as our protagonist, the unnamed knight, performs his final task.”
    • “This is one of those games where the low resolution pixel graphics amaze me with their effectiveness; I suspect that it also has a deep underlying meaning beyond just 'the tragedy and futility of war', but I wasn't astute enough to discern it.”
    • “Despite it being a very short and very minimalistic game with basic gameplay (moving and interacting), this game has a lot of polish on visuals, mood, and audio.”
  • atmosphere
    22 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The reviews highlight that the game's primary strength lies in its captivating atmosphere, characterized by stunning visuals, evocative music, and immersive ambiance.

    • “This is not exactly a game, but damn it's so beautiful, not only the pixel art but the sounds and atmosphere.”
    • “If you're here for a game, let me stop you there, because this title is all about atmosphere, so there's not much gameplay to be found.”
    • “Game drips atmosphere... but atmosphere alone is just hot air.”
    • “This is not exactly a game, but damn it's so beautiful, not only the pixel art (and just to be clear, I'm not a fan of pixel art) but the sounds and atmosphere.”

    • “To be honest, the story is mediocre, but at least it is a free game, and you can still earn achievements from it, so it's a big win for this game and the developer.”
    • “The last oath is an extremely short story about a knight that is destined to keep the oath he made to his king.”
    • “Story: 5/10 - very short; the reasoning behind why your knight is destined to keep his oath isn't explained.”

    • “While it might not be everyone's cup of tea, I must say I enjoyed it; what they've managed to do with a pixel art style and a limited color palette is stunningly beautiful, and the soundtrack that plays as you move through the game helps build a somber tone, as our protagonist, the unnamed knight, performs his final task.”
    • “The one song we do hear is a very moody and heavy song; it's really complementary to the game as a whole.”
