    I don't get the hype! It's an OK game which, when you consider it was made by 2 people (I think?), looks really good. But the fun quickly dries up as the game becomes repetitive. Boss fights are great, just wish the rest of the game didn't feel like "filler".

    A good isometric light rpg. I say light because the rpg elements are not that deep. The gameplay is fun and the art style is fantastic. Music is definitely 10/10. But it gets a little redundant towards the end. Would recommend.

    Decent game. Liked it, but did not love it. Plays very similar to old school action platformers, with interesting theme and a cool art-style. It has overly simple combat but has a decent challenge. Lack of mini-map is frustrating, as getting lost and running in circles in this world is not enticing enough. Very familiar old-school level design, that follows the same formula after theDecent game. Liked it, but did not love it.

    I liked the aesthetic and music but the combat is what ruined the game for me, its just so simplistic and uninspired. Just the same ol dodge hit, dodge hit strategy for everything with no variation other than ranged attacks which do so little damage that they're worthless. It could've been better if the main character actually fought like a crow(immersion, what a concept) but I guess theI liked the aesthetic and music but the combat is what ruined the game for me, its just so simplistic and uninspired.

It could've been better if the main character actually fought like a crow(immersion, what a concept) but I guess the easy solution is to just give him a sword and call it a day.

    I know morons are quick to jump to the "hey look only TWO people made this" excuse but that really has no bearing on the quality of the game which is mediocre at best. I would not pay for this game outside of gamepass, there are simply too many games that do this concept better like Bastion and Hades just to name a few.    … Expand

    Bel gioco, che mixa esplorazione e combattimenti con uno stile grafico originale in visuale isometrica.
    Non eccessivamente lungo, giocabilità elevata e buon livello di sfida. Piacevole per tutta la sua durata.

    Death’s Door is an atmospheric adventure through an inviting fantasy world. It’s perfectly crafted, generously provisioned, and an instant indie classic.
