About the game

Arin has spent twenty-three years as a carpenter's son in Ashen Pass, a mountain village at the top of a frozen world. The night the gods' raiders come down the pass with their lanterns, his father dies halfway through a confession, and a fire wakes in Arin that has not burned since the last star fell. It turns the shackles of the seven gods into two chain-blades, the Cinder Tethers.

His father is not gone for good: he has been taken beyond the Veil, and the road there runs through the gods themselves. Part 1 covers the first three chapters of that road.

THE LAST GOD began as a browser prototype of Chapter I and was then rebuilt in Unreal Engine 5 for Android phones. Part 1 covers the first three chapters of Arin's road beyond the Veil; later parts are in development. The world, its gods, the characters and the story are original, and the music is the game's own score.

Features

Two blades on chains of fire: light and heavy combos, launchers, air strikes, a last-instant dodge and a lock-on.
Tether Pull hauls a raider in, Tether Swing crosses chasms on anchors, and Undertow tears shields away.
Three bosses, each with a weakness to find: Veyr the Hollow Warden, Mardun the Drowned King and the Thornwarden.
Voiced, subtitled cutscenes from the burning village of Ashen Pass to a ruined temple.
Built for touch, with big buttons and hints that name the button to press. Autosave at every checkpoint and Chapter Select.
No energy bars, no timers, no ads, no data collected. Everything runs on the phone, with no connection needed.

Trailer
