Alternative Egos on Different Planets

Come along on the journey between two stories, each on two different planets, but both being each other's alternative ego. Follow their stories as it switches between one another.

Story - Content

The Last Star Walker is indeed something “Special,” from glancing at other reviews for the game. There was one main topic that showed up, and after playing, even I could agree with them.

The Last Star Walker is confusing; the idea is cool with alternative egos and different planets and different regions with different species like elves, humans, vampires, etc.

But switching between the stories and environments with such little pre-interest information or being informed in a black screen cutscene before entering the new area with low to no information.

The game itself has a lot of lore context that the player can read on the side if they are interested to know the lore about each character and place and group and region and planet, etc.

But they also show way too many NPCs throughout the game and expect us to just know them. If they were more background pieces, sure, but using them as important NPCs to be used once or twice makes it more confusing with the number of new ones we meet.

And the only actual intimate actions that happen are twice somewhere in the start to middle, and then they just load dump a large part of it around the end, kind of looking like an orgy.

Hence, the game was quite confusing, which a lot of people can agree on. I just tapped my way through and decided to focus on seeing what happens and skip the dialogs. It made a bit of sense, but it's still confusing.

Visual & Audio

Visuals

Even with the switching between many different environments, the surroundings and their details looked very good. True, the game is confusing, but the visuals are still wonderful and detailed.

The characters and NPCs are incredibly detailed, from skin texture to glossy shiny skin when moist/wet, with no major collisions between character bodies. The form, style, and shape of the bodies, along with what they’re wearing, all cause them to look attractive and erotic (during such situations) and, overall, very well done.

Audio

The background music while playing is a mix between techno, house, and a bit of guitar depending on the scene.

To summarize what I mean, it’s a good blend, and it doesn’t drive one mad after listening to it for long. It also keeps playing or changes style during intimate or fighting scenes.

Story Moves Too Fast
Overall Confusing Story
No Pre-Interest Information

My final little thoughts

Everything looks great, sounds good, and overall has really good ideas. But everything in the story is introduced way too fast; there is no pre-interest information for scene changes to the alternative ego's story/planet.

And visual novels aren’t fully about how well made they look in visuals and details or sound and background music.

But it’s mainly about the story; you want the reader to keep up with the pace and understand what's going on instead of speed-reading the Bible to them.

Even with the good low price, I wouldn’t recommend The Last Star Walker. But don’t let me stop you if you're still interested.

Rating: 4/10
