Afterlife has changed everything
Afterlife has changed everything. GET THIS GAME! Originally Deaths Gambit was a short, fun yet somewhat flawed Soulslike with some really cool ideas like sacrificing heals for extra damage, boss rematches that changed the boss fights etc. Now, many years after the original release, the DLC Afterlife has released. HOLY $@#*! This game is a full on metroidvania now! multiple abilites that allow you to backtrack and crisscross a huge map (oh yeah it actually has a map now!) there is a ton of new stuff, boss reworks, all new bosses, enemies, entire areas. The game has a massive amount of content now and Im just scratching the surface. It controls better, it runs smoother, the story makes coherent sense and there is way more actual humor than it has any right to have. My favorite thing about the original Deaths Gambit was the awesome boss fights and they are still the highlight here, but the exploration is now a equal part, you are rewarded very well for exploring every nook and cranny, and there are always multiple paths to check out at any given time. There is a huge amount of build variety now, tons of new weapons and trinkets, the soundtrack is good, the art is good, the voice acting is amazing... I literally cant stop gushing about how much of a change this game has gone through for the better, this is a devs love letter at its finest, and I cannot recommend this enough, this should be at the top of your list of any genre, this is the best release in September, and quit possible the best indie of the year for me. Absolute 10 out of freaking 10 well done dev

Pretty good game over-all
Pretty good game over-all. This game should be played with a controller, this will remove a lot of the 'clunkiness' going on. Good Stuff: - Music is amazingly good. - Graphics, simply beautiful. - Bosses are rather challenging with a heroic re-match option. - Most of the melee abilities are pretty fun to use. - Some cool cutscene stuff between deaths every now and again. - NG+ Bad Stuff; - Lack of items - I played through the entire game with the Assassin using dagger/spear and never changed my weapon once. The game has an enchanting system but its pretty lackluster. - Useles Stats - Whilst there are quite a few stats in the game, only 3 stats are useful to pick up. Your damage stat (Str, Dex or Int), Endurance(Stamina) and Vitality(Health). A lot of the bosses are incredibly difficult without enough damage or stamina(looking at you Galaxy Mage). - Weapons feel a bit off. The spear didn't feel weighty at all. The daggers were okay. Eh Stuff: - Voice Acting- Some characters are voiced, whilst your main character is not. Some areas have no VO at all. - Story is whatever.
