unlabelledView post →Name a video game you have a 100+ hours of gameplay in. (It's Death's Gambit. It will always be this tiny little game that could. :3)
unlabelledView post →Finished up Death's Gambit, the base game at least. Ending C. Fairly neat game. Was going into NG+1, but decided to start on a different class. Well, that and I derped up something I was going to do at the start, and forgot that pulling your contract deleted the save. I have a brain. It's on break.

unlabelledView post →Just like Death's Gambit, Tails of Iron was another game that I installed on my Steam Deck for that same vacation. I wasn't interested in it. I played it. Loved it. Now I'm waiting for the sequel, it's actually one of my most anticipated releases.

unlabelledView post →I don't know how to articulate and celebrate that Jean Canellas works on Deltarune. Like there is definitely an existential horror element to game and knowing Jean's work on Death's Gambit gives me confidence and joy about where Deltarune will go.
unlabelledView post →Guh *fiiine* SpiritFall (roguelike with Smash bros style controls) Steamworld Quest (excellent deck building rpg) Keepers Toll (vampire survivors style game) Unicorn Overlord (excellent real time strategy) Death's Gambit (pretty good side scrolling souls like)
unlabelledView post →#AntagonistApril 30 Thank YOU, @mystic888wizard.bsky.social, for hosting! Loved this game! Not exactly inspirational to my own villains, but to my work as a whole, are Endless and Thalamus from Death's Gambit. That game will forever live rent-free in my head.
unlabelledView post →finally actually beat DEATH'S GAMBIT: AFTERLIFE, a game i've been trying to finish since before it had the "afterlife" part. extremely embarrassing to discover that i was at the final boss for two human years. worse because i started a brand new file to discover it
unlabelledView post →From a game-dev perspective, yes. It makes choices one can learn from. From a player perspective, depends on what you like. If you enjoy souls-like games and platforming-heavy metroidvania games, it's an excellent blend. Games like Death's Gambit and Ender Lilies came later.
unlabelledView post →Game 5: Death's Gambit Afterlife A very fun yet hard style of metroidvania. Didn't think I'd like it but I found myself enjoying it a lot. Came with a lot of the Soulslike stylings to make it more challenging. Doesn't follow the MV style of leveling and such. A challenge for the gamers for real.
unlabelledView post →Day 17 Death's Gambit - Battle for Vados The entire final part of this game is absolutely amazing. A bunch of interesting boss fights and a really unique experience overall. All topped by a dire sounding theme for a great final fight. www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjYp...
unlabelledView post →Death's Gambit(2018-2022) by White Rabbit This game has the craziest second half I've ever experienced, and I suppose thats somewhat due to the change in publishers(?) Idk. Play it, it is a 7.5/10 game but the second half is so fucking out of nowhere I'm still baffled. The vc that watched was too.
unlabelledView post →Probably some sort of tie between Terminator 2 or Getter Robo: Armageddon, both are incredibly near & dear to me for wildly different reasons. Closest game to that sort of description would be "Death's Gambit", which is just sort of too by the numbers to really stand out much unfortunately.
unlabelledView post →People seem to have gotten most of the ones I was going to list, so others- Haiku (just the most no frills, unknown metroidvania) Minishoot Guacamelee (people forget about this game too much!) Death's Gambit (arguably 2D soulslike) Also PoP: Lost Crown -shocked- me with how good it was.
unlabelledView post →208. Death's Gambit Part of the early wave of 2D Soulslikes, this game gets a lot of credit for the devs constantly tinkering and fixing it after release. Very cool game. Great combat

unlabelledView post →Should clarify: Adult Swim itself seems fine for now but the game publishing division which has been dormant is confirmed to be more or less dead, they published Jazzpunk, Death's Gambit, Battle Chef Brigade, Rain World and many others.
unlabelledView post →Death's Gambit did this; the game was clearly a little unfinished at release but found just enough success for the devs to justifiy refining it and releasing the excellent Afterlife version a few years later.
unlabelledView post →Previewing Death's Gambit 2? xDDD I'm such a slut for that game. Have fun hopefully I'll see you on the stream.
unlabelledView post →All bosses should be able to slap you around a dozen or so times before you finally die. That should be plenty of time to understand their mechanic or pattern. Also, as much as Death's Gambit is a visually beautiful game, that fucking seesaw platform boss fight made me stop playing.

unlabelledView post →www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulTQ... Death's Gambit: Afterlife- THIS though was a massively pleasant surprise.

unlabelledView post →There are some interesting elements in Death's Gambit, but it's rarely something I haven't seen before, and since I'm already not very engaged with the game, it becomes harder and harder for it to get my attention back. And that's despite me playing 25+ hours of it. 7/7
unlabelledView post →I wanted to write about this game, not because I find it interesting, but because I don't. As an aspiring designer, I think I need to also think about games I dislike. My instinct with Death's Gambit was to ignore it and move on, but I owe it to myself to understand why it made me feel that way. 5/7
