Press release:
Praha / Planegg, October 13th.
The Munich-based (Germany) indie games publisher Prime Matter and Prague-based (Czechia) indie games developer GoldKnights, are today very happy and excited to announce that their sci-fi-themed 3rd-person ARPG “The Last Oricru” (a game where players are invited to inhabit the SciFi/Medieval world of Wardenia) is now digitally available for PC (via Steam) and consoles (PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, and the Xbox One).
In The Last Oricru Players take on the role of Silver, a somewhat cocky shipwrecked (spaceship wrecked) human on an alien planet far, far away. Of course the planet happens to be at war, and Silver is thrown right into the midst of a bloody battle between factions. Players can choose to side with these different factions, or betray them, but will have to live with the consequences. Every decision has a strong impact on the ever-changing narrative – which is one of the main aspects of The Last Oricru.
The good thing is players can’t get stuck. There are no “wrong” decisions. There are only “happy little accidents”, as one beloved painter once said. What might seem like a small change of dialogue in the beginning can later determine the fate of an entire faction in the end. Call it a significant butterfly effect, which invites players to replay The Last Oricru again and again and experience their very own, unique play-through each time.
Designed as both a single player and (split-screen & online multiplayer) co-op experience, The Last Oricru features special spells and items which encourage and reward a perfectly synced duo.
With different difficulty settings to choose from that will please hardcore veterans as well as more casual RPG players alike, The Last Oricru offers options that deliver a less punishing approach, focusing more on storytelling, a branching narrative and outstanding co-op fun.
The Last Oricu releases on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S/X on October 13th 2022.
About The Last Oricru
The Last Oricru is an action RPG with a strong emphasis on dynamic storytelling and player choices. Waking up in the living and breathing Sci-Fi/Medieval world of Wardenia, players find themselves in the middle of a massive civil war being fought for supremacy over the planet. Tough combat, massive fights and a dark conspiracy overshadow this once peaceful place. Choose your own path, side with the different factions or betray them, influence the outcome of the war and remember: Your Choice Matters! The Last Oricru is designed as both a single-player and a co-op experience.
