Description
The Aquatic Adventure of the Last Human is a pixelated, side-scrolling, underwater action-adventure game about exploring the decaying ruins of our species -- and fighting deadly sea-creatures -- in search of answers about our downfall. It's up to you to determine whether the ruins of our species is a travesty or an inevitable conclusion as you explore the lush aquatic world and encounter deadly underwater monsters.

We think it's important to bring up global issues that have affected our lives and try to give a different point of view: climate change, terrorism, and technological progress.

We’re not lying: You are the last human; humanity is doomed.
  • Melancholic underwater atmosphere: We really wanted to show the beauty of the sea as well as our influence on nature.
  • Exploratory storytelling: The story is mainly told through the art and backgrounds with some textual hints along the way.
  • Unique conflict encounters: Throughout the adventure, you will encounter -- much like Odysseus in The Odyssey -- monstrous beasts and challenges that you will have to best.
  • Polarized gameplay: It's pretty chill until you've gotta fight for your life!

Great Setting - bad execution

I love the game for the setting. But the controls are everything but tight. With the first boss fight entering after only a couple of minutes, this is a very short period of frustration. My gaming mode: Installl - Uninstall. Install again when I forgot, how bad the gameplay was... uninstall again. Write this review.

Adventures of the climate deniers..

Fact: You'll always find the wingnut brigade out in full force when folks make a game that touches on global warming. Sad to see that so many seem to hang out on GOG. Also...Fact: This is a game that's hard to really like, as, like a number of other reviewers, I have problems with the pacing between the calm exploration - fun - and the boss fights - clunky. I like the art style a lot, though, and if you're happy enough to get your kicks from the joy of new screens and locations, you'll get something out of this. Trigger happy folks - and wingnuts - should stay away, though. Chin chin!

My time is actually worth something

This is the worst a metroidvania can be. Endless backtracking. Long hallways with locked doors down them, and slow lengthy boss fights. The worst of which shows how little regard the developer has for player's time. It starts out fine, then you release how long and repetitive it will be, and it wears out it's welcome long before it finishes. Screw this developer.

A Realistic Take on Global Warming

Like many, I turn to video games for scientific simulations of the real world. I was incredibly pleased with this video game's depiction of a world, perhaps as few as three to six weeks away from this very post, completely under water due to global warming. If found this to be a very timely and accurate scientific message, and have immediately begun to stock up on survival supplies including various floating canned goods. However, I did not care for the side-scrolling portions of the game. Also, this review is in French.

A decent side-scroller, but preachy

This game has pretty decent gameplay... focusing more on observation and analysis than on anything really like "combat." If you can play it from that standpoint, it's an enjoyable game. In my case, however, when I first tried it out, I immediately became annoyed with the preaching... especially since the "preaching" is based entirely on nonsense (or rather, upon having fully bought into propaganda). The basic premise is that "due to global warming," the sea levels have risen and the entire world is flooded. Nevermind the physical impossibility of that (if the entire polar icecaps were to melt... the COASTAL regions would be immersed, but not the higher-elevation inland regions!). Also, nevermind that the entire biosphere involves negative feedback mechanisms... increase the temperature, and the water vapor levels in the atmosphere increase, which reflects more impinging sunlight away, which cools the planet, just for one example... The game itself is moderately enjoyable, but if you don't like having propaganda shoved down your throat, you may want to look elsewhere.
