Have A Nice Death rattles onto Steam Early on Admission in March

Missing out on this could be a grave mistake

Announced at last year's The Game Awards, Have A Overnice Decease is a roguelike platformer developed by Magic Design Studios where you play as Death, CEO of the underworld. Your employees have gone berserk and thrown your holiday plans into disarray, so must wield your trusty scythe and travel into the depths of your visitor to hack them all back to their stations. It looks adept! And it's coming to Steam early access in March.

Have A Prissy Death hits Steam Early Access on the 8th March and will set you back £11. Information technology'southward launching later on Steam Deck, then if yous wanted to play it on the tube y'all'll need to wait a while longer. As for what sort of death-dealing you'll get to perform in the game's early access period, well, it'll be the first five departments worth.

"Currently, the game feels like how the full release should. There are several worlds, each filled with their respective bosses (Sorrows), their minions, every bit well as fun NPC characters", the devs say. Early on access is planned to final for "approximately one year" every bit they believe it will "feel complete then". However, this doesn't hateful that the game won't have hereafter support.

If all goes to plan, the game will be "more than twice every bit large as it will be at the showtime of Early Access", with a more fleshed out storyline alongside "new curses, new worlds, new enemies (bosses and mini bosses) and new weapons". With this in heed, the devs intend to increment Take A Nice Death's cost when it emerges out of early access. No give-and-take on but how much, but they say they'll keep us informed nearer the time.

Just from the trailer alone it looks like a roguelike Hollow Knight with less killer bugs and more angry ghosts. Aside from the lovely art style and flashy combat, it looks super polished already. And that's a dandy sign, considering how it's a game that likely features tough bosses that demand twitchy dodges. Consider me very interested, indeed.
