Indie Roguelite Have a Nice Death Coming This March
Have a Nice Death has received a release date, and it is coming March 8 on Steam. Well, it will at least hit early access then with a full release later down the line. This is a game I’m excited about based on the art style alone. It is absolutely gorgeous.
Have a Nice Death is a “hack’n’scythe” roguelite, and I know we have a lot of indie roguelites, but this one looks pretty good. Players take the role of Death, the founder, and CEO of Death, Incorporated, a huge company responsible for processing the souls of the deceased. Players will have to fight through the headquarters in order to defeat subordinates who are collecting too many souls. The bosses are made up of the different department heads.
Have a Nice Death brings a gorgeous art style with a unique premise, and that is more than enough to capture my interest. I hope it will also bring some polished gameplay. The roguelite is basically the standard indie game these days. It means it will also automatically be compared to Hades, which is one of the best roguelites of all time.
Key features:
- Welcome to Death Incorporated – Discover and explore the darkly-charming, procedurally-generated departments of Death Inc., where you’ll meet a diverse cast of memorable characters—like your affable pumpkin-headed assistant, Pump Quinn—who are always willing to share the latest office gossip
- Reap What You Sow – Sharpen your skills (and scythe) through fast-paced hack n’ slash combat, utilizing over 30 unique weapons and spells you can find and upgrade to create devastating combinations
- Death Never Sleeps – Since Death can’t die, use what you’ve learned and earned to overcome the numerous minions and bosses in each department of Death Incorporated… over and over. A performance review after every run guarantees that you’ll unlock interesting items and upgrades that will help you progress on your journey
- When Life Gives You Curses – Taking more power for yourself is a controversial move in Death Incorporated’s company culture. For instance, adopting a Curse upgrade for yourself might result in the Labor Inspector granting your subordinates enhanced powers, or worse, raising the cost of koffee and other items that are vital to your work output
