The Last Barbarian is a third—person action role-playing game. The game encourages you to act carefully, learn from past mistakes, or find alternative areas to explore. If you are not careful, the monsters will be able to rape you, and you will have to start from the beginning.

The demigod Perseus, the last hope of the people, fights the Goddesses of Trampling to prevent them from conquering heaven and earth, but many trials await him. Either Perseus will defeat Hera, the queen of the goddess, or humanity will be crushed under her feet.
