The Last Oricru

The Last Oricru on PC is a third-person soulslike action RPG now listed on Steam as The Last Oricru - Final Cut. Developed by GoldKnights and published by Prime Matter, it combines medieval fantasy with science fiction, branching faction decisions, demanding melee combat, and both online and split-screen co-op.

A third-person action RPG built around consequences

The game follows Silver, an outsider caught in the conflict consuming the alien world of Warenia. Its structure is more focused than an open-world RPG: you move through connected story locations, fight enemies and bosses, return to key hubs, and make decisions that alter the people, routes, encounters, and outcomes you see.

Combat uses a familiar soulslike rhythm of attacks, dodges, blocks, parries, stamina management, and careful positioning. The system also includes melee and ranged weapons, shields, secondary weapon abilities, techno-magical items, equipment weight, and character upgrades. It is not a loot-driven live-service game. Progress comes from learning enemy patterns, improving your equipment choices, and adapting your build to the situation.

The camera stays in a conventional third-person perspective, giving you a clear view of Silver during close combat and larger battlefield encounters. Some sequences place you in mass fights where faction forces clash around you, so the game alternates between deliberate duels, groups of ordinary enemies, and set-piece battles.

Faction paths and branching story design

The Last Oricru - Final Cut is built around a conflict between three major sides: the Ratkin, the Naboru, and the Broken Army. Silver is not simply choosing dialogue responses for cosmetic flavor. Your decisions can change faction reputation, sub-quests, character relationships, level presentation, gameplay flow, and the game’s endings.

There is no single morality meter that tells you which answer is correct. Supporting one side can close off another route, while later choices may complicate or reshape your allegiance. Actions such as accepting quests, killing characters, or helping one faction during a battle can have consequences beyond the immediate scene.

That design makes repeated playthroughs part of the intended experience. A single run shows only one combination of events, while other choices can reveal different areas, encounters, dialogue, and explanations for the conflict. Players who enjoy narrative RPGs where the world reacts to their decisions will find more to examine here than in a strictly linear action game.

Combat, builds, and co-op tactics

Silver’s combat options cover one-handed weapons and shields, heavier weapons, ranged attacks, and techno-magic. Equipment weight affects how you approach encounters, and the RPG system lets you improve attributes and develop a character suited to your preferred style. You can lean toward direct melee pressure, defensive play, ranged attacks, or magical abilities rather than following one fixed combat role.

Parrying and stamina control are especially important in difficult encounters. Attacking without room to recover can leave Silver vulnerable, while blocking, dodging, or waiting for an opening creates a safer path through a fight. Bosses are designed as major tests of positioning and timing rather than simple damage checks.

Co-op is not limited to an incidental multiplayer option. The game supports online co-op and shared-screen split-screen co-op, with tactical possibilities built around two players. Partners can specialize differently, combine ranged and melee pressure, revive one another, use co-op abilities, and approach certain boss or secret-area situations as a team.

For a related PC action RPG that also emphasizes deliberate third-person combat and equipment decisions, science-fiction soulslikes such as The Surge provide a useful comparison, although The Last Oricru puts much more weight on branching story choices and cooperative play.

What the Final Cut edition changes

The current storefront name is The Last Oricru - Final Cut. This is not presented as a separate sequel or a new story campaign; it is the updated version of the original game, incorporating a substantial revision of its systems and quality-of-life features.

The Final Cut update adds tiered difficulty levels, an in-game map with navigation points and objectives, a revised save system with multiple save slots, optional world refreshing when leaving the Terminal, and a hint system with short tutorials. It also adds two locations with puzzles and bonus rewards, refines combat and boss encounters, and improves the online co-op network code.

On Steam, the base game is sold as a paid standalone release. The current content listing shows a separate soundtrack add-on and does not list a gameplay expansion pack or season pass. That makes the Final Cut edition the relevant PC version to look for rather than an older unqualified listing of The Last Oricru.

PC features and language support

The Steam version includes full controller support, which suits the game’s third-person combat, camera movement, blocking, and dodging. Keyboard and mouse are also available for PC players who prefer direct menu navigation and customizable desktop controls.

The game supports single-player, online co-op, and split-screen co-op. Steam also lists Steam Achievements, Family Sharing, and a third-party EULA. No separate publisher launcher is identified on the current store listing, but the Steam version should be treated as a platform-based release rather than a standalone DRM-free build.

Interface and subtitle localization covers English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Portuguese-Brazil, Japanese, Korean, Latin American Spanish, Polish, Russian, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, and Czech. English is the listed full-audio language; the other supported languages provide interface and subtitle localization.

Steam also identifies the Final Cut version as compatible with Steam Deck. That is useful for players who want to approach the game as a controller-first action RPG, although the small-screen experience makes the map, prompts, and subtitle options worth checking before a long session.

Who should play The Last Oricru?

The strongest audience is players who want a choice-driven soulslike rather than a pure combat challenge. The game’s main differentiator is the combination of real-time action, faction politics, branching outcomes, and co-op support. It is particularly suited to two players who want to discuss decisions and experience the consequences together.

It is a weaker fit for anyone seeking a huge open world, a deep loot treadmill, competitive multiplayer, or a traditional party-based RPG with extensive companion management. The campaign is structured around authored locations and branching routes, not endless procedural content or a broad sandbox.

Players looking for another demanding third-person RPG with fantasy combat and co-op options can also compare it with co-op soulslike action RPGs such as Nioh: Complete Edition. Nioh is much more focused on combat mastery and equipment depth, while The Last Oricru is more interested in faction outcomes and story variation.
