Returning to your homeland after a prolonged absence is always an apprehensive experience, but for a young scientist in The Last DeadEnd, it’s going to be truly bizarre. Prepare yourself for an FPS adventure, with elements of horror thrown in, as The Last DeadEnd arrives on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One.
Set in Baku, Azerbaijan – a place seldom seen in gaming aside from its race circuit in the likes of F1 2020 – The Last DeadEnd puts you in the role of young scientist Farhad Novruzov. He’s returned to the land he once called home in order to help film a documentary movie for an international television channel. Whilst doing so, he faces a host of strange occurrences, which appear to be connected with the ancient religion of Zoroastrianism somehow. As a scientist, Farhad is compelled to figure out the reason behind these events; thus, the weird adventure begins.
Even though The Last DeadEnd features both first-person and third-person perspectives, most of the action and general undertaking of research happens in the first-person view. You’ll find that the majority of the game occurs within Baku, Azerbaijan, in an environment created from a real and existing inner-city of Baku. It’s actually the oldest district of the city with a thousand-year history, and it’s surrounded by a fortress wall, inside which there are dozens of historical and archaeological sites. There are many objects here that really reflect the feel of the old city.
In regards to the shooting aspect, you will face off against several regular enemies, as well as stronger boss-like enemies – the latter of which were inspired by local legends. In the fight against some of the toughest enemies though, you’ll have to figure out the ideal tactic for overcoming them. Fortunately, respite comes courtesy of the researching, with an extensive encyclopedia and plenty of research to be done. Not only are there tons of articles to delve into, but with the help of technological glasses, you can read and decipher the inscriptions in the ancient languages that are on the walls of the old city.
Intriguing, isn’t it? Well, The Last DeadEnd won’t break the bank as it’s priced at a mere £5.79 on the Xbox Store. And if you act swift, there’s an additional 20% discount for two weeks post-launch to take advantage of!
