    If you like this genre, you should definitely buy "Have a Nice Death". Newcomers should also take a look at the title. The storyline is well done, the battles are super challenging and a real joy to master.

There is also a lot of content to unlock, so it's always worth another playthrough. The graphics and sound round off the very great impression.… Expand

    This game is a very interesting approach to death, and is generally a good rouge-like. Only thing holding it back is the difficulty curve.

    I enjoyed Have A Nice Death a great deal and I'm sure you will, too, especially if you love roguelikes and combat-heavy 2D action.

    Have a Nice Death is a very fun and dynamic game, although with some performance problems on Switch. As a roguelike, it doesn't stand out from other games in the genre like Hades or Hollow Knight. However, if you're looking for a challenging action platformer title with a lighthearted tone, it's a good choice.

    Have a Nice Death is a pleasant experience for roguelike fans who don’t fear challenges or corporate-infused humor. It’s also truly frustrating, however, and it gets less fun by the hour.
