Last Man Sitting

Last Man Sitting is one of those delightful oddballs that smells faintly of '00s arena shooters and a punk soundtrack. You hop into a souped-up office chair, grind across desks, double-jump over vending machines and shoot waves of sentient appliances until the world makes sense again — or doesn't. It’s instantly approachable: pick a loadout, draft from a big pile of Power-Ups, and learn what combinations actually break the game in the best way. If you liked Sunset Overdrive’s movement or the chaotic feel of Megabonk, this will probably scratch that itch — with an office-themed grin.

Flying Desks and Office Warfare

The core loop is gloriously simple: drop into a timed level, survive waves of enemies and boss encounters, collect XP and draft Power-Ups between waves. Movement is the real star — double jump, roll, and a grinding mechanic let you surf over the map in a way that feels fluid and often absurdly fun. Combat blends gunplay and melee in a third-person perspective: you’ll chain shots, abilities and quick slashes while repositioning on chairs or using environmental hazards. Runs are short and punchy, designed for quick lunchbreak sessions or longer co-op sprees. I found myself learning through repetition — what synergies matter, which power-ups to avoid, and how to handle miniboss patterns.

When Chairs Make the Build

What sets Last Man Sitting apart is the cosmetic-meets-mechanical chair system and an enormous pool of over 200 Power-Ups. Chairs are not just skins: they grant upgrade slots and passive traits that shape builds. The drafting system between rounds is satisfying — sometimes you get a wildly overpowered combo that makes the rest of the run a joyous destruction spree. There’s a surprising variety of weapons (gatling-like guns, blades, weird sticky tools) and the way some Power-Ups interact creates memorable moments — one of my runs turned a whip-like weapon into a literal crowd-control nightmare. PvP arena mode is a cheeky addition: it turns those imba combos into ways to mess with friends in short king-of-the-hill rounds.

Soundtrack, Style and Rough Edges

Visually it’s loud and proud: neon-tinged corporate palettes, punky character designs and goofy robot enemies that somehow look both menacing and adorable. The soundtrack leans punk/billypop/breakcore, which matches the manic gameplay — I often found myself nodding along while my chair caught fire. Performance on Windows has been solid in my sessions; animations are punchy and the maps load quickly. That said, some maps feel small and claustrophobic, and a few weapon variants can feel like palette swaps rather than truly new toys. There are also occasional visual bugs and QoL gripes that pop up in multiplayer — text chat and an auto-shoot toggle were common requests from players, and I agree they'd help. Still, the game nails a particular vibe and mostly backs it up with satisfying mechanical chops.

Last Man Sitting is a joyful, slightly messy roguelite that nails movement and build creativity. It’s ideal for players who like fast, repeatable runs, co-op chaos with friends, or short PvP showdowns — and it’s charmingly weird. If you want polished competitive depth or huge maps right now, temper expectations; but for $9-ish players get a lot of zany bang for their buck and a solid base that should improve with updates.
