Review of the game Have a Nice Death
From time immemorial, there has been an unequivocal impression about death that this is a creature in a black hoodie with a scythe, which looks rather gloomy. And in fact, such a figure can be found almost everywhere, not only in old, but also in new works of art, in games and films. But now everything is covered in more detail in the game Have a Nice Death, from magic Design Studios.
Story line
You need to start with the fact that everything is not quite standard here, because all the actions take place in the office. Sometimes it looks far from being an office, but it still reminds it very much, as there are elevators and rest rooms where employees are always dissatisfied with something. There are also managers who by all means try to avoid work. And they need to be taught a lesson and figure out why things are going so badly in a company called Death CJSC.
For a long time, when this company did not even exist, the main character, who is also Death, took a scythe in his hands and went on his own to resolve all issues regarding human life. But at one point, the monotony got to him, after which it was decided to create an enterprise where all the work was done for him. But even this got tired over time, so he went further to hell, to deal with everything and dream of a vacation.
Gameplay and design
First of all, the black and white hand-drawn style attracts attention in the game, it is both gloomy and cute at the same time. Initially, everything looks very monotonous, only death with an unnaturally large head stands out strongly. And many say that the beginning of the game is not the best, everything is boring and incomprehensible.
But over time, the floors that the hero needs to go through become more intricate and surreal. And if earlier everything was tied up in the office with its employees, then later it turned into some kind of organism, you can even say that it is a dump of toxic waste. And the levels are named accordingly, for example:
- Department of environmental pollution.
- Department of diseases.
- Department of Natural Disasters.
- Department of wars.
And the background music is perfect.
All game progress is saved as you progress, and if the hero dies, he simply respawns in the office and starts his journey. It is important to note that there are also assistants in the game, namely conscientious employees who give the reaper useful and important things.
Of course, everything is done interestingly and beautifully. But what about the gameplay? In fact, this is a classic roguelike with monotonous gameplay. During the game, you just need to deal with office bums, using an extensive arsenal for this. Even a scythe can have different forms and types of attack. The reaper can also use a bow and magic, homing bees or a claymore.
But there can be problems with equipment, it all depends on chance, if not the best equipment fell out now, then you should wait for the next time you are lucky. Of course, over time, the enemy becomes stronger, and you also need to be prepared for this. But soon it becomes boring, and you want something more.
