I've been playing a lot of rogue likes and survivors games lately and quite a few them were discarded very quickly due to terrible replayability or just being boring and time consuming.

Death Must Die is definitely attempting to be Hades, which is hard to strive for, but it is getting there. It is fun, challenging from the first play through and you actually have to pay attention.

Is this game fun? Yes.

Does it get very samey very quickly? Unfortunately, yes.

I was intrigued by a rogue like inventory management game but dear lord you spend the first 5 levels in 20 seconds of fighting and then you spend minutes between rounds just rearranging your inventory. Its like the developer thought the whole point of Diablo was inventory management. The inventory system is obtuse, there's no way around it. You can't swap items that are the same size in spots, if you are picking up an item and there's an available space it won't tell you where it fits, there's not auto sort or condense button, you have to do everything manually. It is a pain to get anything done between rounds and I spent so much more time in the inventory screen than doing anything else.

Infinitely addicting. Satisfying to win, satisfying to lose, only feels unfair when you get bad rolls but that's dice for you.

It starts off strong, its interesting, you learn the mechanics, you keep pushing it. Then you get to the third mission with one of the Keepers and you look at what they gave you and you try to figure out what they're nudging you towards strategy wise. Then you realize that there's like 8 events and they repeat EVERY SINGLE TIME and there are so few heroes that nothing ever really changes.

For a game that is all about replayability it is the same and repeats a ton very quickly. Also the bosses at the end feel like wet noodles against an adventurers' party. You can upgrade monsters to be stronger than your boss.

Update: Wow they did an about face very quickly and made half of it available for free. Kudos to Arrowhead.

Crazy I am back at this again. You drop the Illuminate update with no warning, it is fantastic, buggy, but whatever, 200k people playing at once. So fantastic, breath of fresh air, the content we yearn for that reinvigorates the game after fixing and making everything feel so fun.

And then you go hyper predatory microtransaction pricing and destroying content you'd release as a warbond to sell piece meal in the superstore for wildly inflated prices and then threaten to cancel future content if it does not sell well? Why does this happen every other update? Why do you have being successful?

This game is so much fun but this is so hard to recommend to other people because the content unlocking was once a huge selling point and now it appears that you are going to gate everything behind super high microtransaction prices. This is not a free game. You do not get to sell WEAPONS which are not cosmetic for $6 each. Seriously. No.

Post Buff Patch Update:

Great news, I recommend this game again! Why? Because we're back baby! The closest the game has felt to its launch self. Frenetic combat, guns and explosions that deal damage, enemies that punish you for mistakes, way more bug fixes, additional content being added....finally. We are back at a place where the game feels massively fun and exciting. I can recommend this game again and I can only say I hope it continues on and gets even better in the future.

Edit: Wild ride playing this game. I don't think I've seen a game developer try harder to ruin their own game in a long time. The region locking fiasco, from which they still have not recovered, the constant bugs, nerfs, more bugs, bugs they fix, but not really, claim they have fixed, but not, drip content, more nerfs, more bugs, and more bugs claimed to be fixed but not fixed.

They break their game every single patch. They constantly reintroduce bugs. They claim to fix a lot of bugs but do not. There are still bugs that have been in since almost launch that still are not fixed. They also nerf a bunch of stuff willy nilly. I cannot believe they nerfed fire two days before their fire themed warbond introducing two more flamethrowers. Are you kidding me?

Game is still fun. It is not GOTY.

Update 2: This game has consumed my life. I yearn to spread democracy across the known galaxy (and later when we discover more, there too). Managed democracy is the only way of life. Every man, woman, and child over the age of 7 knows this.

Update: In a loss non meme review, this game is awesome. It is a true live service game. The game evolves as time goes on with new additions like new weapons, orbital strikes, armor, and tactical objectives to conquer, new enemies, new everything, new terror, new opportunities. It is told through very simple yet effective storytelling methods like major orders, in game mission discoveries, and background chatter and propaganda.

It is hard to truly capture how magical this game feels. It is very much a lightning in a bottle feeling. The community is excited to play, everyone unironically roleplays as a Helldiver, and at least in my experience, there's not nearly as much toxicity as I have found in other online games. The progression and unlock system might actually be too giving, and the premium currency can be found in game and is offered through the free battle pass (that never expires). It is a breath of fresh air.

EDIT 2: Two major updates later. Crashed once, did not delete my save. Like the new additions. Still seems bare bones for the amount of time that has passed, but its still getting better. I recommend.

EDIT: Game crashed during a playthrough. Deleted all my progress. No way to recover it it seems.

Don't buy this game if you aren't willing to lose all your progress.


With additional content this is going to be the best auto shooter out there. Right now there are definitely a few bugs, no pun intended, but the bones are solid and the variety in weapons, classes and play styles makes every run with a different character feel like a new experience, except for the glaringly obvious problem that there's only one mission type and limited things to do on each map from level to level.

That said, this game is going places.

This is 2023 GOTY. Undisputed. This might be the greatest true roleplaying game ever created. Infinite approaches to all situations, smooth talk, stealth, magic, cheese, range, melee, unarmed, throw stuff, whatever you want. You want to break the game, the game expects it and allows it. You want to be evil? How evil? Cuz you can go ALL evil. You want to be uptight stick in the behind good? Do it that way.

Play your way, there's dialogue options for every situation imaginable and these are the deepest characters you will ever interact with. They are truly fleshed out and never ending pools of amazement. You could do 100 runs and find new dialogue every run. I know I have.

I recommend this game, but with the caveat that while the core game play loop is satisfying, this game is ultimately very shallow and the replay-ability, while on the surface seems there, really is not. No matter which character you start with, it only slightly alters the game play. The levels never change anything up, and I would argue only the Temple gives any real challenge at any difficulty level.

20 minute matches are fine but so many times by the time I hit 10 minutes I could literally stand still and annihilate everything on screen without them even being able to approach. It gets boring very quickly. It is not just one build either, and since you don't unlock new build paths, everything eventually feels very samey. Even if you spec into summon dmg or gun dmg, it eventually all blurs together.

That said, for $5, this is still a good game to put a few hours into, but there are other games in this genre that do it better.

I highly recommend this game if any of the following applies to you:

1. You enjoyed Vampire Survivors
2. You did not enjoy Vampire Survivors and thought it could be way more in depth
3. You enjoy surviving swarms and hordes of things
4. You liked Diablo 1 and 2
5. You like to be challenged with overwhelming odds and constant dodging and bullet hell

This game is fun and challenging and adds the missing elements I thought stopped Vampire Survivor from being great. The addition of unlockable achievements, items and potions is great.

Actual Review: This game is great. The progression comes naturally, the characters are varied, it is a true turret defense game with time management and lots of options to address situations. It is definitely more fun with 3 people than 1, but the game is definitely playable with 1 person because your AI teammates are not brain dead. They will however not place turrets or use their ultimate (at least I've never noticed them use their ultimate.) They are also a tad stingy on using their active ability but if you are on later levels or a higher difficulty micro managing your teammates is going to be a skill you have to use.

I'd probably rate this game as an 8 out of 10 overall. It has room for improvement (I'm scared to play co-op since I have Onedrive enabled and that apparently caused my game to not sync then wipe) but the major patch that dropped already addressed many issues. I hope this game gets some more love because it is definitely a good fit for DLC. Only other criticism is that there is no use for scrap past a certain point, even though it seems so necessary early on.

ORIGINAL: 4 hours and my entire progress is completely wiped. No explanation, no warning, just gone. This is after pushing through glitchy co-op bugs. This game is still in Early Access and they pushed too early to release it.

UPDATE: I fixed it. Luckily. There was 1 backup available which had most of my progress saved. I believe the root of this bug is Coop's fault, somehow. Or windows blocking the save file from happening. Not a great look for the developer though. Game is fun though.
