How we pick them
We compare the tags the Steam community gives each game with our own classification: what you do (action, story, building…), the difficulty, how long sessions last and whether you play alone or with others. Nobody pays to appear.
About The Last Spell
Turn-based tactical RPG meets town defence: by day you rebuild the haven, buy gear and put up walls and traps; by night a few heroes hold back hordes from several sides (up to four) while the mages chant the last spell.
