## Setting and story
The game takes place in Enotria, a region inspired by the Italian Mediterranean, corrupted by Canovaccio, a dark force based on a 16th-century theatrical script.[1](https://as.com/meristation/analisis/analsis-de-enotria-the-last-song-el-soulslike-que-busca-hacerse-un-espacio-entre-los-grandes-del-genero-n/) The inhabitants are unwilling actors locked in an eternal performance not of their making, and the player character, called the Maskless One, is the only being in this world without a role and therefore free to make their own decisions.[5](https://www.gamesradar.com/games/action-rpg/enotria-the-last-song-review/)
**Structure.** The story follows the Maskless One across three distinct areas that mirror a play's three-act structure, as they explore environments, battle Enotria's denizens, and hunt down the ruling Authors.[7](https://rpgamer.com/review/enotria-the-last-song-review/) The regions draw on Italian imagery: [PC Gamer](https://www.edgepedia.org/pc-gamer)'s review describes sandy beaches, rustic towns, ancient Greek ruins, and an army of cannon-wielding conquistadors, and GBAtemp notes backdrops evoking the waterways of Venice, the sun-baked architecture of Rome, and the vegetation of Quinta.[2](https://www.pcgamer.com/games/action/enotria-review/) • [8](https://gbatemp.net/review/enotria-the-last-song.2546/)
## Combat and the mask system
Combat revolves around the parry. Similar to FromSoftware's Sekiro, parrying enemy attacks fills a stagger meter, and a full meter opens a window to deal major damage through a critical strike.[7](https://rpgamer.com/review/enotria-the-last-song-review/) • [2](https://www.pcgamer.com/games/action/enotria-review/) There is no traditional block; the Spanish-language review compares the parry timing to that of [Street Fighter III](https://www.edgepedia.org/street-fighter-iii), and notes that the parry does not work against every kind of attack.[1](https://as.com/meristation/analisis/analsis-de-enotria-the-last-song-el-soulslike-que-busca-hacerse-un-espacio-entre-los-grandes-del-genero-n/) The developers describe the game as aggressive, rewarding players for pressing the attack and parrying through an opponent's moves.[6](https://www.gamespot.com/articles/enotria-the-last-song-is-a-more-dynamic-souls-likes-that-gives-you-freedom-from-character-builds/1100-6524299/)
**Masks as loadouts.** The game's most distinctive system replaces fixed character builds. Players can switch freely between three masks, and equipping a different mask changes the character's appearance and entire loadout, including weapons, abilities, stats, and perks.[6](https://www.gamespot.com/articles/enotria-the-last-song-is-a-more-dynamic-souls-likes-that-gives-you-freedom-from-character-builds/1100-6524299/) One mask might boost heavy attack damage while another increases the number of replenishable healing items the player can carry.[9](https://www.techradar.com/gaming/enotria-the-last-song-review) Masks are acquired by defeating bosses or gathering mask fragments from particular enemies.[2](https://www.pcgamer.com/games/action/enotria-review/) The mask system also feeds exploration: some puzzles require wearing the correct mask to open a new area, or to fool an NPC, such as disguising the wearer as the Captain of the Guard.[10](https://gamersocialclub.ca/2024/09/21/enotria-the-last-song-review/)
**Mask lines and progression.** Mask lines are the game's ability system and, in PC Gamer's view, the most important mechanic: without heavy specialization in them, most combat reduces to parrying until an enemy is stunned.[2](https://www.pcgamer.com/games/action/enotria-review/) Around this sit several layers of progression released all at the start of the game: a souls-style leveling system, the Path of the Innovators (a tree of passive skills of which six can be equipped), and aspects that change the stat spread and grant a passive ability.[2](https://www.pcgamer.com/games/action/enotria-review/)
**Elements.** Enemies and bosses carry one of four elements, Vis, Fatuo, Gratia, or Malanno, and the player deals much less damage unless a weapon or mask line infuses the weapon with the matching element.[2](https://www.pcgamer.com/games/action/enotria-review/)
## Reception
Reviewers consistently praised the setting and presentation while criticizing the combat feel. PC Gamer called it a very pretty game with an entirely unique vibe but found the gameplay clunky and lacking the combat flow a soulslike needs, and judged the elemental system an arbitrary restriction on build freedom.[2](https://www.pcgamer.com/games/action/enotria-review/) GamesRadar+ described it as a sun-drenched [Bloodborne](https://www.edgepedia.org/bloodborne) that does not quite live up to its inspiration, noting that boss health bars and the amount of unraveling required before a boss becomes stunned turn fights into attrition.[5](https://www.gamesradar.com/games/action-rpg/enotria-the-last-song-review/) Gamepur observed that the parry, an optional mechanic in most souls games, feels forced in Enotria.[11](https://www.gamepur.com/reviews/enotria-the-last-song-review) On the positive side, GBAtemp judged the parry timing relatively forgiving, and the [Elemental](https://www.edgepedia.org/elemental) reviews highlighted the art direction and cultural references.[10](https://gamersocialclub.ca/2024/09/21/enotria-the-last-song-review/) • [8](https://gbatemp.net/review/enotria-the-last-song.2546/)
