![]() Certain enemies can hit for ridiculously large amounts of damage, and healing options are both limited and at the whim of your randomly generated paths and enemy drops. It’s normal in this genre to make the best of what you find on a run, but I found the sense of progression to be generally unforgiving. However, your loadout is largely left to the whims of randomization you don’t even get to choose which of the alternate scythe types you start a run with. You are also able to find and select curses, which are passive upgrades that sometimes come with penalties like losing access to the map or empowering future enemies. A number of different scythe weapons grant varied combos, and the secondary weapons and spells you can find on a run can be amazingly helpful in dealing with crowds or wearing down one troublesome enemy. That makes it easy for a fair amount of enemies and attacks to just blend into the background, leaving you unfairly damaged by something you couldn’t see, leading to death, the noun.ĭeath, the character, is fast and responsive in combat. Some enemy attacks and projectiles will break through with neon reds and oranges to help alert you to danger, but many special attacks and effects of your own come with distracting flashing colors. The Sorrow boss encounters in particular showcase fantastic set pieces that display how deranged your situation is, but the primarily monochrome color palette diminishes their impact slightly. The spooky designs and incredible animations actually compensate for a lot of the lacking personality of characters and enemies. I rarely fully understood what any two characters were talking about and found every attempted joke to be a mile-wide miss. But the majority of conversations you’ll hear are mundane office jargon with Halloween buzzwords thrown into the mix. The macabre characters you meet are reminiscent of those in a Tim Burton movie, often having glowing, positive personalities while speaking about troubling or horrific topics. The mash-up of bureaucracy and the supernatural is a familiar and well-liked trapping. ![]() So in an effort to avoid burnout, you’ll hunt down each Sorrow in their respective departments and literally whip them into shape. the parasol has a chance to replace the diss scythe its not permanent.Death is overwhelmed the sheer amount of paperwork needed for the volume of souls being reaped has made him sedentary, and the several department heads known as “The Sorrows” have become overambitious due his own apathy. ![]() Obviously the game need balance and more content like alternative bosses, secret rooms and a better risk/reward system but it has just been released and I'm sure it will be added sooner or later. I agree though that we should have an option to disable the unlocked cloak abilities if we want to, as in Curse of the Dead Gods, even if I personally never do it because I play roguelites for the replayability, having a different run every time and deal with what I find. I also like the weapon upgrades as it is, I just regret that the second weapon get replaced by the umbrella when you unlock it instead of just be added as a second choice. The game isn't that hard anyway but maybe they could make an easy mode for those who are struggling.
