-THE STORY-
Last Hero
The game takes place in both New York City and space as the player takes the
role of Olivia, a lieutenant in the NYPD that takes on the alien threat via different guns
and abilities through alien environments to save the world.
Chapter-1
Takes place in the streets of New York City and NYPD. Teaches the basic mechanics
of the game and gives some basic equipment to the player.
Chapter-2
Takes place in streets, underground subways of New York, and in a small portion of
Central Park. The subway parts help us learn the new dash skill. We also get the ability to
upgrade our weapons.
Chapter-3
Takes place in 3 different medium-sized alien spaceships the ships will be designed
around using the hook mechanic. To get to each ship the player must use their hook to reach
and destroy them by getting to the power source of each ship. We also obtain an alien shotgun
and a weapon upgrade.
Chapter-4
This chapter starts with us controlling a small spaceship to get to the mothership. While
also gaining an alien assault rifle. This chapter takes place in the docking area, the garrison,
and the main hall of the spaceship. At the main hall, we have a boss fight and obtain a laser
beam rifle with two different modes; minigun and railgun.
Chapter-5
We reach the command center corridor and across the room is the leader of the aliens.
It orders its minions to attack and we fight through a few hordes of enemies. When they are
killed he attacks us and we engage in a boss battle. When the boss is at the last percentage of
LAST HERO

its health a cutscene is played and we are forced to crash to ship. Saving the world but dying
in the process.
The Game
Chapter-1 The Attack
We start in New York as a portal appears in the sky and we get a report from our HQ
that the city is being attacked by an unknown threat as the city spirals into chaos. After
this brief cutscene, we are put into action as we face some basic aliens and save a family and
acquire an alien pistol. After that, we are told to reach the department and help the city.
The first chapter consists of the New York City streets and the entrance to the Police
Department. The chapter ends with a cutscene where the police chief tells us that we need to
evacuate the city and other parts of the world are being attacked at the same time. We get
some tactical gear (armor and an alien submachine gun) (we also can see a log about our
character's backstory through a police file).
The chief tells us to go ahead with some of our subordinates to both scouts ahead and
make a safe path for the civilians. But as soon as we get out of the department our friends get
shot at by aliens and killed and we get another report to make a run for the Central Park
and reach the subway network from there as they have managed to make a safe space.
Chapter-2 The Escape
With our newfound gear, we make a run for Central Park along the way we see a
spaceship crash and decide to investigate (the player finds some alien tablets that tell the
player basic information about the aliens). We stumble upon a strange device and as we
interact with it a weird ooze that jumps onto our hand and gets inside our skin as we faint
for a short period.
When we wake up the player is granted the ability to dash. After that, while we
are looking through the ship we get a weapon upgrade. When we reach our destination we
are told the situation that there is a way out from the subway but there are some aliens and
we need to clear it out. When we first enter the subway we need to hold off some aliens that
try to get in. After that we continue through the subway and when we reach the outside
immediately the subway exit is blown away and we are forced to face the first boss of the
LAST HERO
5
game. As we kill the boss our hand gets cut and we are told that the ship that is leaving has
captured the chief and they will destroy the world. In a desperate attempt, we get the hand of
the first boss and stick it into our hand and with the help of the weird ooze, we learn and
use it as a hook shot to get to the ship.
Chapter-3 The Take Off
We start by learning the hook shot mechanics with a small amount of platforming in
the docking area while fighting aliens on a medium sized alien ship. We cannot get to the
control room because of the indestructible doors so we go back and find the power source of
the ship and destroy it. While the ship is crashing we must use our hook and get to another
ship in a time limit. The next ship is a bit smaller and we do the same thing while in this part
of the level the player can find an alien shotgun. The last ship is bigger than the first one and
when we reach the docking area we can see a small working alien ship. We go ahead and
destroy the ship again and escape with the small ship to get to the mothership. The player can
find a weapon upgrade at this part of the level. We get a cutscene where we start the ship and
take off.
Chapter-4
We start the level by controlling the small spaceship to get to the mothership. On
the way we fight through small ships the size of ours. When we reach the docking area there
are alarms going off stating that there are prisoners loose. We first kill a few aliens and then
find the garrison. We fight the guards and get in and find most of the prisoners dead but we
can't find Chris. While exiting we see an armory where we can find a weapon upgrade and
an assault rifle. We follow the dead bodies and blood stains to the control rooms door but we
cannot open it because it is indestructible so we go to the main hall of the ship to find a
different entrance but have a big boss fight and receive their weapon, the laser beam rifle.
The boss before dying says that if we do not hurry Chris will be dead.
Chapter-5
After the boss fight we get another weapon upgrade in a small armory and continue
to the control room. We destroy the main door with our laser beam rifle and are faced with
a long corridor, at the end of it is the leader of the aliens. He tells us we are too late and that
Chris is dead as he throws his lifeless body on to the floor and tells his minions to attack us.
In a state of rage we battle through the minions and after that are faced with the final boss
LAST HERO
6
of the game. With its final words the leader tells us that it's too late and the first attack was
successful. We are surrounded and in the ship the second wave is getting ready to destroy
earth. Olivia must somehow stop this second wave and with no other choice after searching
through the control room finds the self-destruct button and sacrifices herself to save the
world.

be able to spawn at that flag and use any available vehicles tied to that objective.
