Not without its flaws and it's definitely not for everyone. »👍 anonymous review · 11 h played« me and my friend play it and i have fun :) »👍 anonymous review · 29 h played« The initial release was rough, but the most recent set of updates have really turned this into a good solo or duo rougelike. I really recommend checking it out. The combat is very close to what made the original so fun to grind. »👍 anonymous review · 59 h played« Negative reviews urged me to throw in support; game is pretty solid The updates/roadmap and potential soundtrack coming along have me eagerly waiting for more of that peak LiD content »👍 anonymous review · 68 h played
« Can't play on Steamdeck, NEED UPDATE !!! »👎 anonymous review · 11 h played« This is the worst game I've played this year, without a shadow of a doubt. Just play the original. It's free, infinitely better, and is getting an offline mode. ♥♥♥♥ this game »👎 anonymous review · 1 h played« Not worth it. Doesnt feel like a game and more like a cash grab. Cant believe this is alive and Deathverse is dead »👎 anonymous review · 2 h played« refunded the game yeah no! I loved let it die this game is not it this plays like trash compared to let it die game play and combat needs a overhall becase its way to simple. »👎 anonymous review · 3 h played« I'll keep it simple, it's not worthy of being called LET IT DIE, it's barely worthy being called a rogue-like »👎 anonymous review · 22 h played« The music is great to play in the background. I would like the option for the OST, please! »👍 anonymous review · 3 h played
