Death Must Die

Death Must Die is a roguelite action game for people who like runs built around collecting power-ups and surviving wave after wave of enemies. By our assessment, its hook is the loop of growing stronger mid-run while dodging enough danger to keep the attempt alive. The trade-off is repetition: this kind of game lives on restarting, learning patterns, and accepting that a failed run is part of the structure. In practice it tends to feel brisk and cumulative rather than carefully narrated. It sits in the crowded field of action roguelites beside Hades-style progression and build-making, where the appeal is less story and more the next strange combination of skills. The name fits the pitch directly, and the game sounds like it knows exactly which crowd it is speaking to.
