negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Below is a rather detailed account of my opinion of this game. It is harsh, but even with my cons being so extensive, it's a 30/70 split for good / bad. All opinions take into account the price of the game (I would be singing praise if it were a $1.99 game, saying it was great value and a rare gem in that bracket, but even 20% off it proves very, very expensive). If you are genuinely interested in buying this game, read the TL;DR at least as it summarises the gist of my concerns. DISCLAIMER: I…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The concept of Death Stair is an awesome one. This is a phenomenal game if you have friends to play with locally or online. However the further you go into the game, you'll start to notice little hiccups and glitches. Then you'll start realizing the game should have more potential to be awesome, but falls very far from being an outstanding game. Death Stair is a game in which there are four participants. 3 participants will be runners while 1 will be a gunner. The gunners objective is to hold…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Preeeetty busted. Kept starting games with no gunner and losing our character selections.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Death Stair has had the good idea of offering a game similar to Mario Party Unfortunately, the game is riddled with bugs; I’ve never even managed to play it. Joining a game is a real nightmare, nobody’s playing, the menus aren’t user-friendly, and the developers have abandoned the game... I quickly requested a refund – go and spend your €3 elsewhere, really!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fantastically fun game to play with friends and family, I can not recommend this enough if you want a party-esque game to play. Loads of laughs are to be had with this title. I took part in the testing phase and have been eager to get back into it!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I first met Death Stair at PAXAus a year(ish) ago and instantly fell in love. The game has a fairly simple premise by getting to the top of the stairs but how hectic the game can get with 2 other people racing you is pretty fun. It can sometimes feels like you are getting constantly pwned and completely unfair but it still feels fun to have a laugh with other people. (Note, I received the game by being a Kickstarter backer)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game if you are looking for something to get you and the ladz warmed up for a night of gaming, would recommend definitely playing with mates, nothing will beat hearing their frustrations over Discord!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The goto game when I'm drinking. Absolutely loved this game during testing and it has only gotten better. 10/10 CHEERS!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So much fun - played for the first time yesterday, laughed soooo hard! Came home and bought it - steam, first! Party fun tonight! Everything works great! Don't know what the negs were playing but the rest of us love it and give it a big thumbs up!!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game embodys true litness. The littyest game ever. True lit. Release the lit in you. Lit lit lit.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I GET KNOCKED DOWN BUT I GET UP AGAIN......... Wicked game! Soooo much fun. Couldn't stop laughing (and crying) as I tried (repeatedly) to get up the stairs. Beaten by balls, blown up and ragdolled all over the place I will get up and go again! Friends? Ha! It's man against the stairs. Thanks guys for the game! Super clean old school fun. 9/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is best played with a party of friends. So if you have no friends I would avoid. if you do have friends then read on. The aim of the game for the "runners" is to reach the destination by hitting check points on your way to the goal. The aim of the "shooter" is to stop them with various weapons depending on the stage. Ammo is replenished by successfully hitting the runners. It is a pretty simple idea with mixed results. if the shooter is not that good the runners have a good chance,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →dont even pretend this game isnt made considerably better by its bugs and glitches.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It is fun enough, but very limited, definitely needs more levels. Also, achievements are broken, making zero progress towards any achievement. The price point is fair for a game with online multiplayer, though finding a random to play against can be a challenge
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Death Stair is a really great debut for Fun Sponge Games! While it's not without it's issues, I have a strong faith in the dev team to iron out the bugs and leave behind a really well done, polished gem. I've seen game play and have played a little of the game myself, and I'm super excited to play more with my friends at our next game night. I'd definitely recommend this game, especially if you have a few controllers handy!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →if death stair has a million fans, then i am one of them. if death stair has ten fans, then i am one of them. if death stair has only one fan then that is me. if death stair has no fans, then that means i am no longer on earth. if the world is against death stair, then i am against the world.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →at least it's not bad rats.. I think
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really glitchy and it didn't even work. Me and my friend just bought this in the sale and tried to play online multiplayer, my friend couldn't press the accept button to host an game and when I tried to host they couldn't see my game on the list. Tried inviting through Steam and it just tried launching the game again and brought them to the main menu. Very glitchy and needs work. Maybe it will work in the future.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very fun game to play with friends.. Just bought it because it came at 0.49€, the only downside is that there is o people online, and when there is, the game just crashes... :(

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game has a lot of things it REALLY needs to fix, but its pretty fun, and I enjoy the concept. It really needs some stuff fixed though. Seriously...
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game changed my life and the way I perceive all other life on earth. I don't think i'll ever actually recover mentally and physically from the amount of sheer force this game put me through. I honestly cannot recommend this enough - play it as soon as possible, you will not live the same way.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game if getting a refund was the goal
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →TLDR: I only recommend this game if you have friends to play with. The gameplay can be fun but is mostly awful for the gunner. One player is the gunner while three players are runners. There are four maps in total, and each one has a different gun system. "Clouds" is the best map because it is the only map in which the gunner has a reasonable chance of victory. "Classic" is less fair to the gunner but provided my group great laughs as dodgeballs and volleyballs were launched at us. "Canyon"…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →add a online mode so we can play with others
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game had the cheek to ask me to leave a review so here it is. This game is utter garbage. A 10 year old could code a more stable game. More bugs than the amazon rainforest plus the fact literally 0 people play it. You're money would be better spent on CS:GO Cases as you have a higher chance of getting a knife than enjoying this game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Death Stair is a great game for anyone missing the days of split screen multiplayer wanting to play with actual in-person friends in the same room. It seems as our technology has progressed, that games are moving to be almost exclusively online multiplayer. So it is refreshing to have an option for when you want to play with someone who isn’t far away but instead is sitting right beside you! I also hope this game becomes available on mobile devices some day for fun local play on the go. The…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Absolutely requires a controller (the pre-match lobby is unusable without one), but it's impossible to find online servers anyway (and it can't be played solo)
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Phenomenal game, but impossible to play. Is not compatible with steam controllers, cannot be played single player, overall a complete mess. If there was a singleplayer mode, or even working multiplayer using steam controllers, I would love this game. Howver, until then, it is impossible to play.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'll get straight to the point and make it clear: the game is far from finished/stabilized. The only reason(s) I upvoted instead of down was because (1) I got it for a 90% discount price and (2) I so wish the game will grow both in terms of quality and user pool. (But I guess improved game quality should naturally lead to increased user pool sooner or later.) Some of the problems/dissatisfactions I experienced so far are as follows: - Some keybinds are incorrect. For example, the default key…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Yea the graphics arent great. And yea it lacks in some content, only consisting of 4 maps and limited characters. But was it fun, hell yea. Me and 3 buddies bought it for less than a dollar, and i had a good time playing it. I'd say if you and a couple of friends just wanted a cheap game that you can play for a couple of hours and then forget about it, this is the one to go to.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is the worst game ever seen. This game is 0,99 cents in the steam sale and even that isn't worth it. The graphics quality is ♥♥♥♥ and the controls aren't explained good enough to you when you play with a keyboard. Please don't buy this! This game has to be free and even then nobody will play it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun LAN party but a big lack of content. Still Drunk gaming with some friends. Works to spend an hour or two. ^^
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I got this game for free and i still paid too much
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →even though this game costs just 5$, it feels worst then a free to play game...
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →NOT SURE WHY THIS GAME IS AT MIXED BUT ITS FUN FOR 2 BUCKS. GRAB SOME FRIENDS AND CONTROLLERS AND HAVE A FUN TIME!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is not a game. This is a lifestyle... I started this game with low expectations, and was pleasantly surprised. I gave this lifestyle a chance, and so should you.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this game changed my life
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game if you have friends to play with, the game is super fun but if you don't have friends to play with you have 0% chance to find some randoms to play with. Great game but very underrated.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There is no way to disable voice chat, the controls dont work, and over not fun.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ok, this game is so unabalanced and that's why it's AWESOME! No seriously the tears are real! I have not laughed so incredibly hard in so long it's ridiculous. This game is just a pure joy. There are 4 levels, Clouds, Classic, Corners, and Canyon, all of which feature a runner who needs to run to the top and a cannon whose sole job is to shoot down the runner. Each level has 3 different types of ammo the cannon can shoot so 12 different types in all. The Classic, Corners, and Canyon levels…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is the epidemy of why steam greenlight should never exist. This absolute hunk of literal garbage is what has single handedly brought steam into the garbage. Literally no one is online playing this game and the multiplayer doesn't even work and it just crashes your game. Also, you can't even play this game on singleplayer so have fun staring at the 2 year olds drawings that are the graphics. YOu can't even use a mouse and keyboard because the optimization is that terrible. Do not buy…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →no players in this ♥♥♥♥♥♥ game
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →pretty good game i got it on sale for 49 cents its not worth 5 dollars but if the lower the price and more people get to know this game it will be awesome totally recommend it.but you cant play it with no friends cause its hard to find a game if it gets more known it will totally worth 5 bucks
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If this game had been free, I'd still request a refund.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →SUCH A BROKEN MESS (but in a good way) this game always made me laugh making my friends cry is a beatiful thing you know
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Death Stair is a wonderfully absurd competitive party game developed by Fun Sponge Games and published by Missing Link Games, and it proudly leans into its chaotic premise rather than trying to be something more serious or refined. At its core, the game is built around a simple but hilarious concept: one player sits at the top of a massive staircase armed with ridiculous weaponry, while up to three others desperately try to run, jump, dodge, and scramble their way to the top without being…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's absolute broken and hilarious with friends. We had a blast playing this game and taking turns. When you think you figured it out, the game bugs out and you've total missed. The Zeus stage was the easiest to defend for me, to the point where I let my friends get near the peak and knock them all the way back down. For $5 its okay with a group that isn't serious.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is great, however don't even try playing the clouds level unless you want your friend to keep you in the spawn the whole game and become a trident spammer. Game 10/10 Trident spamming friend 1/10

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →great game for 2$ but only if u got friends to play with
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is perfect. Stop making bad reviews because you don't have friends. I write this laughing with 2 of my friends as we prepare to play another marathon of this master-piece. I've been endlessly searching for 4 local multiplayer games and this, along with shipped and samurai gunn, are the ones that have been elected to stay in our parties and in our hearts. Thank you Devs. Shame on you lonely bad reviewers. Peace
