Let It Die |OT| F2P roguelike Dark Souls with a skateboarding skeleton
- Thread starter Nachos
- Start date
It has potential but I'll wait for the PC release; the load times are completely intolerable. How you can release a game with constant room-switching and pretend these load times are anything other than insufferable PS2-era trash is beyond me. It's especially jarring because the game itself runs at smooth 60fps and controls are responsive. Just unbelievable.
It's hardly a "roguelike" too. The only things that change are drops and stuff like that, layers are always the same so far, which misses the point of the concept entirely.

Yeah the quest tracking is really obtuse. Could be much better. Sorry I can't help more. I'm struggling with the one that says kill all enemies with hammers. I'm guessing haters are screwing this up for me as they auto attack enemies.

I'd like to know too, if there's some info about it I'd be happy to wait for it before starting to get deep in the tower.

Floor 6 boss wrecked me, any tips?
It isn't coming to PC? I assumed this was timed.

I had to go aggressive. Double hammers or bats. Also made sure I farmed materials to get clothing pieces up to +3 and I believe hammers and bats were both +4.
I used the striker avatar at max level.
Try and dodge some gun attacks behind pillars but as I said I went full out fuck this mode and just charged in and went crazy. Not sure if there is a proper tactic like the first mini-boss and crouching.

Maybe that's what's happening for me. I've had at least two haters pretty much per an area since I started the game. I try to rush them and kill them before they do anything but who knows if they've already killed someone when I get there. Seriously the number of haters is pretty insane. Since like I started I've had level 30 haters in my game constantly.

How did you unlock the striker?
To get the striker class I just beat levels until Uncle Death emailed me to say there were new fighters available. As for Rank 2 fighters specifically, they unlocked when I reached floor 11.
Nope, F2P Games dont need Plus

Has there been any word on a release in parts of Europe that got the shaft? Still nothing on PSN over here (Netherlands)

For people complaining about the sameness of the environment just wait. It changes up drastically every 10 floors.

Wait. The level cap isn't 25? How the heck do you level past 25? I got my first character to 25 last night and all her stats said MAX.

Beat the floor 10 boss. You get email from Uncle Death telling you can purchase more fighters. Go to the freezer and you can now buy two star fighters.

Ah word. I haven't gone that far up yet. Guess I'll have to hunker down and really put in some time tonight.

Just dodge her attacks until she fires a powerful shot then attack her with melee. Rinse and repeat. Be careful not to fall when she is at the top.
I like what i've played thus far but i feel like i don't know how everything works. It seems like there's a lot of elements here. I need a starters guide or something
When/how often should i be returning to the waiting room?
Is it better for me to level up my character in the tower and then swap him out to then send him on raids?
Should i be concerned about level up my character too much in risks of dying and losing everything or potentially encountering them again and not being able to fend them off later?
I have blueprints sand R&D stuff taking up have my inventory (the inventory is laughably small but i guess thats where the F2P elements come in) should i make this a priority to bring these back to the waiting room?
Halp lol

You should get blueprints revealed as soon as possible; after all, they unlock new things to buy and upgrade at the shop.

I played for a while last night and was presently surprised by how much fun I had with it. Would absolutely love to see Financials on this.
it's available in a lot of countries in the EU. The ones that are not supported right now won't be for a while.

Not sure it will do that great especially on one platform.
Still think a PSN only price of £20+ish like The Witness would have been better. Maybe a limited retail print at £29.99.
Have a feeling most will play till the F2P elements become a chore and then abandon it never spending a penny. So put me in the camp who believes F2P was a mistake here. Cult classic word of mouth as well as a reasonable price could have led to tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of sales.

It's early, but this might be my favorite game of the year. Which is insane, since I have been completely addicted to Battlefield and Overwatch prior to this. Disclaimer: Killer 7 is my all-time favorite game and I am a big Grasshopper fan in general.

If you guys need storage space you can put stuff in the bags of your other characters you are not using and put them in the freezer. Also after floor 6 the Collector body is available and they have 30 slots to use. I would recommend keeping your mules in the freezer just in case someone raids you and runs off with them.
Glad i'm not the only one who might put Let it Die up as their GOTY.

Nice! That was my strategy too, except I accidentally ate the mushroom instead of throwing it...

I've done that twice now. One of those times I died
I saw red and thought health yeah. Then boom!
I love the general style of the characters and game but I feel that the environments and gameplay loop aren't enough to keep progressing. I'm slowly making progress now but it took me a good chunk of time to understand when to go back to the waiting room and when to know my best course of action. I really hope they flesh this game out more because there's a lot I like about it, but it just doesn't completely hit the nail on the head.

What is the highest floor you have reached so far?

If anyone cares, I found 8 of the songs from the game on Spotify so far and created a playlist: https://play.spotify.com/user/jamesmtn/playlist/7bIeXS14IECKUVi8hWqJ1I
I'll try to find some others later.

Don't forget The Silver Case!
Although at this point I'd assume this is PS4 exclusive. If it's super successful then I can see a PC port, especially since it runs on Unreal.

I played this for a few hours last night and had a blast, didn't expect to enjoy it so much as Souls style really isn't my bag. The rage attacks or whatever mind me of heat attacks from the Yakuza series.

Take it, but if you are accurate enough you can perform a perfect block by blocking right before the attack hits and it will stagger the enemy
Nice, so you can perfect block even when you are in hitstun?
I guess I need to work on my timing...
Xamtheking
Member
Oh, not while in hitstun, but it can help create an opening which you can roll out of if cornered by multiple enemies. Because even if you normal block the buzzsaw, you're in "blockstun" per say
I think I've gotten to about the 4th floor. I haven't fought a boss yet.
You can check the supported regions here. If your country isn't on the list then GungHo is "considering releasing it in your country" but there isn't any guarantee if it will come out.

There will be more enemy variety fairly soon, and more beast variety. There will also be a slight environment change, but the entire environment doesn't change until floor 11
