So I may update this review over time.

I'm a BIG fan of the OG LET IT DIE game.
Lemme start off by saying Deathverse while not perfect, was a fun game. I AM more than a little annoyed that I dumped money into that game and then they just took it offline and never gave any compensation for that. When this game was announced I was very hyped for it. That being said, I have mixed feelings on the final outcome.
Lets start with art and direction.
Visually the game is appealing to me, I like the enemy designs, the world, the lore drops you can unlock, and outfits and weapons. That being said I was really hoping the music would be better considering the original had like 100 unique tracks! This game has like 2????? Its really not enough and honestly a let down.

Onto the overall gameplay.
So I can see why alot of people are dropping this game pretty quickly. Early on this game is HARD. Which is nothing new to the series. BUT the difference here is that were expected to grind, and die, and eventually most of the stuff we worked for is just gone. And while I will have to wait and see exactly what reset of progression entails and what not, I can say that the grind is slow, and gathering stuff is slow, and leveling is slow. SO most people who have left reviews probably haven't played long enough to really "get in the groove" so to speak. Eventually leveling up your raider rank you do unlock more storage, more blueprint space, ect. and leveling up your bodies gives you more of a fighting chance naturally. But early on it does just feel unnecessarily hard and kinda going nowhere. Sticking with it I did manage to somehow kill the first boss and hit around body rank 4 before dying lmao. I do feel quite frustrated with some of the difficulty of the game, but I have started to get a feel for some of the weapons and strategies. That being said, WHY IS THERE NO LOCK ON??? The original had it. Hell even Elden Ring Nightreign has lock on? It does kinda make the combat a bit floaty, specially when using the few ranged weapons.

Now onto the general stuff stated around the reviews.
Optimization for this game is kinda ass, I have a 3080 and it makes my ♥♥♥♥ sound like a jet turbine even on medium. In comparison I can play Nightreign on high without making it kick into overdrive. I wont comment on the AI stuff since like generally all game devs seem to be using it in some capacity and they have already put out a disclaimer stating what was used and for what.

NOW my biggest problem here with this game, and ALOT of people's reviews have stated, is the GREEDINESS of this game. Death Metals. The premium currency. People have unfairly bashed the original game for its use of microtransactions. But the original is free to play! And you can choose to support and buy death metals OR you can literally earn them by playing TDM and logging in. Fantastic! However in this game, there is NO foreseeable way to earn death metals in game. And from the start some bodies and cosmetics are locked behind death metals which sucks. Unless you buy the deluxe edition in which case I guess the bodies are included. Oh and if you wanna host your own room matches for death jamboree you have to also buy the deluxe edition. Which also brings me to my next problem. There is NOBODY playing death jamboree. So that's kinda DOA which sucks. I mean even Deathverse was free to play and people who never played LET IT DIE before were eager to try it out. I think that GungHo has really shot themselves in the foot for not having this game be free to play and the overall greediness. Oh and one thing to note too if you didn't log in by a certain time, (Dec 12??) you get NOTHING for playing Deathverse and LET IT DIE which I think is a huge middle finger to people who spent time playing the other titles. Like come on i've climbed that tower, i've gotten so many people to try the OG, and I even put money and time into Deathverse, and your just gonna not give me anything as a returning player just cause I was busy and didn't have time to get the game at launch?

I will continue to play and see how far I can delve, and i'm hoping that the game survives. But seeing what happened to Deathverse i'm not so sure.
And I can't even really recommend this game for most people, as its left a bitter taste in my mouth with the lack of support for fans, the greedy microtransactions for additional playstyles (bodies), and very low player count and turnover rate. Honestly this game could have just been a DLC or new game mode for the original, or just a direct sequel without the seasonal wiping mechanics. Cause to me the original LET IT DIE is a perfect game, with a good loop and grind. Here I just dunno about the longevity of it all specially with the paywall to get in and even try the game out. Perhaps they will improve on things and the game will evolve as time goes. I know that they are actively listening to some feedback and making changes. Just guess we'll have to see to what extent they go and where that leads the game in the future.

WE ARE HORSES ! ! !

I ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ love this game.
