    the game has bugs that prevent me from completing the game, I bought it before the premiere and until now I can not defeat the boss because after 10 seconds a fatal error pops up.

    This game is crap. Don't bother. It is clunky, unintuitive, and annoying. Don't bother with this game.

    A game with a beautiful dark pixel art aesthetic. With different classes to arrange your style of play. It fails in certain combat mechanics, such as dodging.

    In terms of content, Death's Gambit justifies a purchase, especially now with Death's Gambit: Afterlife, and the new stuff that it has added, along with some refining here and there. Having said that, this is probably a big, nicely designed, fun… ok. It's an ok blend of the exploration found in Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, served along a combat philosophy, and an overall vibe that takes its cue from Dark Souls. Nothing is bad, but nothing is great either. Ok. Fans of either "genres" can find better metroidvania/soulslike cocktails nowadays.

    White Rabbit should be commended for the approach to Death’s Gambit: Afterlife. With an unwavering commitment to excellence, a fantastic Souls-like Metroidvania has been born. It deserves to be played for this alone, but thankfully it stands on its own merits too.
