One Last Dance for the Capitalist Pigs by Julien LallevÃ© is the debut of a new and exciting voice in independent gaming. The creativity and boldness on display here is as stunning as the garish, cartoony scenery and atmosphere. The game shares some sensibilities with Gravity Bone and its sequel, but One Last Dance is a truly original creation (and it’s considerably longer than those). With gloriously low-poly graphics and an absurd wit, the game takes you to a place you’ve never seen before, and it does so with style.



After getting completely fed up with how the gameshow “The Fortune Roulette” preys on human misery, you decide to hunt down the (actual) pig responsible for it. You travel to the island where the television studios are located and proceed to climb and platform your way to the top of the giant structure there. The architecture in the game is insane and vertiginous, but fortunately the jumping feels spot-on. There are also some light stealth elements to spice things up, and plenty of dialogue with the locals.

The game is playable in English or French, and the English translation is just slightly awkward, adding to surreality of the proceedings. The characters are bizarre and memorable, and you’ll have to talk to several of them to get to your ultimate goal. There are several tasks that must be performed in order to gain access to the studios, and you’ll need the aid of others who share your desires.

One Last Dance for the Capitalist Pigs is weird, cool, and bursting with originality. It’s a must-play.
