Death’s Gambit Review

37 Comments

1. WHAT??? I'm honestly shocked. This game rocks. Nothing is confusing. It's super fun. Don't listen to this. I'm a huge dark souls fan and this is 2d dark souls. Just like dark souls, the areas are mandatory and you do have to find them. Don't know why it's knocked here. And the mechanics are dope. Lots of cool abilities and loot. Very creative boss battles. Don't watch this. Turn it off and play the game. 8/10

2. it deserves a higher score despite it's flaws wich some of them will probably be fixed with future updates.

3. Can’t believe that score, I loved this game

4. Even though I disagree a lot on IGN reviews, his opinion is dead on, the game fails in a lot of places and that's ok

5. Ur bad git gud

6. Gaming companies seem to be working backwards with all these 2D games on these advanced systems.

7. It is so weird, this is one of the only times my taste in games has gone against the majority…. I actually love this game. I think the world, the combat, the graphics, all of it are just amazing. I think the combat is perfectly balanced and fluid. Its so weird when you play a game and reaaaaaally enjoy it, and then find out that you are in the minority.

8. If you want a better alternative try playing salt and sanctuary.

9. You forgot the great voice acting and music. Also deaths character is freaking cool. Why so harsh?

10. How is this "gothic horror"??

11. It's a shame how this review will turn many people off from this game. I find it to be fantastic, rewarding and most of all its fun. The art and music alone are superb, and the details in each area show just how much work went into the overall aesthetic of the game. Lots of hidden items to find and you are definitely rewarded for your exploration. I can't believe they didn't mention the boss rematch system or even the new game plus mechanics, on top of the varieties in the classes and weapon abilities. There are better reviews out there which give you a more in depth look at the core mechanics of the game, as well as detailing some of the more nuanced aspects. This one is definitely worth playing if you are even remotely interested, and as others have said you should not compare this to Dead Cells because they are vastly different in so many respects.

12. Great review , i per order this game and i uninstall it after few hours , it was really really bad .

13. Did you beat it though? ?

14. Can we stop comparing this game to Dead Cells? It’s not the same type of game. It has similarities yes, But it has completely different Mechanics and systems….But…. You should buy Dead Cells because it’s amazing!

15. Half Way Through The Vid I Realized I Needed Another Beer?

16. Boo you ign,this game is dope!

17. I know nothing about dark souls series. but I know castlevania series well.
    It looks pretty similar with 2d castlevania version which was given up for developing by KONAMI.
    well…. that's more than enough to me. think about it. why do we have to eat popcorn and butter together? I usually eat only popcorn because what I want to eat was only that. I know spme people wanted to play 2d dark souls version. but don't forget this game is also created for castlevania fans as well

18. Man, IGN and it's reviewers as of late is redicilous.

19. IGN you have lost my respect for you.

20. Dead Cells ripoff?

21. I just beat this game and damn, it was amazing!!
    Great ost, somewhat addictive gameplay and great bosses.
    it can be buggy sometimes and is kinda clunky as well but doesn't affect the game drastically.
    I don't completely agree with the rating, I believe it deserves better.

    Give it a try.

22. 1:49 that is literally mini Darklurker phase 2 from Dark Souls 2

23. "The game's too complicated, so let's give it a 6.7"

24. But they cut Cr1tikal from it :/

25. Too much death, not enough Gambit

26. Just get dead cell it's way better than this game.

27. Translation: I'm bad and dumb and couldn't beat the game and struggled to figure out where to go. lol

28. Dead Cells pushed the bar a little bit to high.

29. Well i loved it and i rate it 10/10

30. Regardless of the score, the game looks amazing! Have to give it a try.

31. Still gonna buy it. The art and music alone does it for me.

32. WTF.. U CRAZY OR WHAT?? THIS GAME WAS A GEM..

33. Dead cell is better

34. Man, the reviewer was hungry when he wrote this

35. I DID NOT EVEN KNOW

36. Wait… “its ‘buttery’ premise?” How did that word choice pass editorial? Lol

37. There is too many of these types of games as of late. Like if you agree.
