Let it Die (ps4)

[AlexM]

Anyone else playing this game? It's a free rouguelike-ish-soulsy-weird type of game that recently came out on ps4. It's free but you buy things like coins for extra lives (kind of like an arcade game!) and I think maybe some other things. 

The game is made by Grasshopper so it's appropriately weird. I think this might be the first Grasshopper game that I've really enjoyed from a gameplay perspective. I wonder if it's because their new publisher GungHo had design input. GungHo did puzzles and dragons.

One of the interesting things about this game is it has a relatively high number of different game systems. When you first start playing it's way too much information but you can also ignore 90% of it and pick it up as you go. I haven't played for a long time yet but the variety of things to do is certainly keeping it interesting.

I wasn't sure about this game for the first hour I played it but the overall weirdness kept me interested. Now that I've played a few hours I'm really starting to get into it for the gameplay.
