Action Roguelite Have A Nice Death Enters Steam Early Access On March 8

Our attention was drawn to Have A Nice Death during the 2021 Video Game Awards. We loved its elegant presentation and equally sleek-looking action. Developer Magic Design Studios has announced that Death will be available in Steam Early Access starting March 8.

Death is a stress-prone character who’s underworld office becomes utter chaos due to his wild employees. Besides spoiling his vacation plans, this mayhem also upsets the balance of souls and that’s a big problem. Armed with your trusty scythe, you’ll have to keep your underlings in line the old-fashioned way.

The 2D game sports fast-paced hack n’ slash action where Death can wield over 30 different weapons. Since Death can’t die, success depends on completing stages repeatedly to earn better performance reviews to unlock new items. Even though Death has the ability to wear beneficial curses it may also be subject to increasing enemy strength. 

Magic Design Studios plans to keep Have A Nice Death in Early Access for roughly one year, so we probably shouldn’t expect the full launch until 2023. There will be several bosses to conquer, and the game will launch in several different worlds. The team will keep adding more content over time and tweaking systems as needed.
