    Let it Die is certainly addictive. There’s something there, in its madcap core, that is good and possibly great. I’m just not entirely sure what it is.

    After Lily Bergamo got canned I lost all hope for this title.

My hope rose a bit with the developer updates prior to release, the aesthetics suggested a good old suda game, it wasn't enough but at least a good start . . .
    After playing 6 hours with the game I can say it without doubt in my heart that it IS a true suda game and it contains all the humor a random moments you would expect from him and his studio.

    Now about the game a bit, far what it is(ft2) it looks great, and has a solid combat system, not the best, but it is presentable and souls fan will be right at home with this one I believe. The story mode that we got seems to be a pretty long run, I'm looking forward to climbing that tower.

    I see no reason why should anyone hesitate downloading the game, but I have to admit, if you did not like Grasshoppers' previous titles you'll probably hate this one too. To a fan of this studio it was a nice present, and I appreciate it for what it is, the lack of a platinum trophy IS a bummer though.    … Full Review »

    A Free to Play that in its current state, isn’t worth the download.
    Let it Die is a free to play game for the playstation and surprisingly has a lot going for it, but it has a lot more issues holding it back.
    I loved Suda51 and all of his games which had me excited for this one…
    It definitely has the charm and feel of a Suda51 game with its zaney characters like uncle death…
    In this game you choose a character and try to climb the tower of barbs….
    This is sort of a linear version of Dark Souls… except it feels completely broken…
    This game is all about trying not to die…
    You pick up coins to buy items at shops and armour and weapons off of characters that all break insanely fast…
    You pick up mushrooms and animals to heal your self or use against enemies…
    And you try your hardest to kill them before they kill you.. gain xp to level up..
    Use certain weapons to gain mastery and climb the tower…
    The problem however is the combat feels broken…
    It lags..
    Your character will stand there taking damage as they get hit or they’ll finish an attack animation instead of rolling out of the way…
    This ultimately makes combat feel cheap and takes out all feeling of fun and skill…
    We should definitely be able to roll out of the way at any and all times…
    The game should be waiting on my input, not the other way around
    Because of this combat lag youll die fast and youll die often…
    And theres actually a pretty cool mechanic when you die where your character will be waiting for you when you return up the tower with someone else.. as well as other fallen characters from other players…
    And if your fallen character kills theirs youll gain rewards…
    It isn’t instant game over when you die though..
    You do get lives every day you log on from the game and you can use these lives as continues…
    But they do run out.. and of course.. you have to buy them for up to $100 if you want to continue playing from where your character died or wait until tomorrow for the game to give you a log in bonus…
    You can turn on elevators that you find to allow your character to skip sections you’ve already been to…
    But this game was clearly designed to kill you in a cheap way to exploit people addictive tendencies…
    The lag stops skill…
    This feels more like hack and slash gambling…
    Its unresponsive cheap gameplay… stay away
    I give let it die …
    a 4/10    … Full Review »
