I haven't played many games like this one, my only comparable one being Halls Of Torment, but I really like the progression in this one. Death Must Die gives me the satisfaction of a lvl 85 Diablo 2 character in about 20 mins, which is perfect for my limited gaming time as a parent. It also scratch that huge loot itch because of its fantastic gear system. It's simple and straightforward enough for me to build my own gearsets, pair them with their appropriate talent trees, and enjoy the resulting chaos in a quick test game. Note that I've only played this game since Act 3 was released, and I thoroughly enjoyed what was offered. Got all the achievements available at the time in about 50 hours. Now I'm hitting my head against my personal wall at 50/100 darkness on said Act. I don't get why so many people are upset with this game, must be a love/hate relationship or something. For my part, I'm very excited to see what Act 4 will bring (was just announced), even if it's reworking most of the systems. Big fan of the art, music and gameplay (also plays very well on controller). Will be back whenever there are updates available!
TLDR: Game isn't abandoned until estimated update time period has passed with no updates at all Haven't played this game in forever but felt like posting a review to say that if people are going to say that the game has been abandoned at least wait until the time period they were saying an update was going to arrive has passed. Sadly these devs are notorious for not giving progress updates and long periods of time between updates, but they have just posted an update on their progress due to the fact that they are behind schedule and they have a bunch of progress to show off and not just "hey the update probably isn't coming when we said it would" and nothing else to show for it. All in all I enjoyed this game and hate to see it getting hit with "abandonware" reviews before it can really be called that Imo
MFS READ THE BLOG POSTS IF YOU CARE SO MUCH ABOUT THE DOWNTIME BETWEEN UPDATES. No. The game is not abandoned. They are currently rebuilding many of the game's systems from the ground up, including how the game generates terrain. They have also stated that the next update will be their biggest one yet, and they're trying to make better sprites than before. Given how incredibly detailed the sprites already are, that is a MASSIVE statement. THE GAME ISNT ABANDONDED, AND EVEN IF IT WAS, WHAT'S HERE IS BETTER THAN WHAT 90% OF GAMES HAVE WHEN RELEASED
Fun game. If you like roguelikes and something like Hades - its pretty fun a while. I should add that the game hasn't gotten any new content since May 2025. The roadmap says it should be getting some this year but I feel like I had to mention its been more than a year since the last content update.
