Sure, it's a lot like Dark Souls in that the level design is set up to punish you and stamina features heavily in how you play, but the bosses reset a lot of the things you thought you knew about boss fights. At the core things, Let It Die is a fighter and the boss mechanics reflect that. Sure, it's brutal and violent no matter what you do, and oftentimes your enemies are even more disgusting than what came before, but that's all surface level. The bossfights are pretty decent with a solid amount of differences in mechanics between bosses. Don't be surprised if you spend the first 10 levels running around in your underwear or with no pants. Your gear will wear down, though the better quality stuff lasts longer. To don heavier weapons or protective gear, you have to upgrade your character's stats or apply skill decals which function as temporary tattoos on your character's back. Just brutal physical strength, speed, and accuracy. You see where this is going, don't you?Īs for the gameplay itself, it's rather like Dark Souls in the way it functions mostly off reaction time and skill. However, once you die, you can't just recover that last save. You can use elevators to return to the waiting room from the Tower of Barbs to save your progress. Revenge is rather nice when you can send a re-animated corpse to do the work for you. You can even set them out against other players if that player has had a hater who killed you. So yes, you get benefits for following the game's title and letting yourself die. If you return and kill your own "Hater" you can send it to a freezer box and then put it to work for you. If that "Hater" kills another player, you get prizes for it. If you let your character die, it becomes a "Hater" or a zombified corpse of a former player that will terrorize that section of the game map for anyone who enters there. You can only save the game while in your Waiting Room, otherwise it will count as a death and you'll either have to pay to continue or let your fighter die and choose a new one. The game's structure is rather simple, there are 41 floors in the Tower of Barbs, with each level having a boss. It becomes very clear that the train is your character selection screen, you've got a safe location called the "Waiting Room" with a shop to buy weapons from and a "mushroom magistrate" who will tell you all about the different effects of different mushrooms. Then you're back on the train selecting another body. You slaughter your way through a bunch of zombies and then you die. He calls you "Senpai" and walks you through the game, giving you hints and tutorials as you go. On the platform you meet Uncle Death with his crazy sunglasses and skateboard. ![]() ![]() It's cleaner than any subway station I've ever seen. You exit the train at a subway station that is completely empty and full of lights and reflective surfaces. Then the camera zooms in on the train, and you select your fighter. The first thing you see in Let It Die is a girl on a moped speeding through a city that looks like a futuristic Tokyo, she comes to a stop overlooking a set of train tracks. Somehow, that game morphed into the free-to-play hack-and-slash game now known as Let It Die. The game originally started development as Lily Bergamo which was going to be an extreme action game featuring a companion app and an "element of growth", in that by gradually accumulating experience, the player's data is updated more and more rapidly. It may not be entirely clear by the first few cutscenes, but Grasshopper Manufacture and Goichi Suda ( Suda51)'s Let It Die is an homage to the heyday of Arcade gaming. ![]()
