About The Last Spartan
An arcade hack and slash survival game set in ancient Sparta, 404 B.C. You are the last hoplite of your battalion, cutting down waves of Athenians across procedurally generated battlefields of grass, cliffs and rivers. There is no way out alive: a run ends with your death and the score is how many enemies you take with you before it does.
