The Last Phoenix: A Platformer RPG Where Death Makes You Stronger, Joins Steam Next Fest

Sad Slime Games is excited to announce that The Last Phoenix, a dark fantasy platformer RPG about a goblin who turns death into a weapon, is participating in the Steam Next Fest.

About the Game

The Last Phoenix is a platformer RPG where death only makes you stronger! Felix, a goblin who possesses a demonic power of reincarnation, must save his kind from eradication! In this game, dying is good—death lets you upgrade skills to be reborn stronger!

Humans are hunting the goblins and burning their villages. Felix lost his brother and now travels with his niece, Lotus, in a caravan of survivors, always on the move to stay alive. The caravan pursues the cultists responsible for the slaughter and strikes back.

Key Features:

  • Death is Progress: Death doesn’t erase progress; you are reborn stronger. Use the blood you’ve collected to unlock new abilities at Blood Root, a living skill tree.
  • Fast, Fluid Gameplay: Felix wields a fire gauntlet that serves both as a weapon and a tool for movement. It can keep him airborne or launch him to higher ground. Aim it in any direction to master fast combat and traversal.
  • Procedural Exploration: Experience procedurally generated levels where you choose your own path. Dig shortcuts and mine ore to repair armor.
  • Customization: Customize your playstyle with gear and by equipping charms from Evelyn’s shop to boost stats for your specific playstyle.
  • Rich Narrative: A story with dialogue choices and multiple endings. Meet characters like Obor, a legendary warrior turned mentor, and Evelyn, a clever tinkerer.
  • Bonus Lore: Complete level challenges to uncover hidden lore and secrets about the world.
