A 2D action roguelike with a sharp hook: you play an overworked Death, striking through the floors of a corporation you own to put your unruly staff back in line. The combat is fast and precise, the monochrome hand-drawn art is a genuine draw, and floors reconfigure each attempt. Critics were positive, an OpenCritic around 80 and an 8 from IGN, though Push Square's PS5 review landed at a more measured 6.
The recurring knock, from reviewers and players alike, is that level design and enemy variety wear thin, so runs start to feel repetitive before the systems fully open up, and it is less forgiving with progression than its peers. It is for a Hades fan who wants the studio-comedy tone and a steeper challenge, and who reads difficulty as a feature. A PS5 title.
Single Player Only
