Death’s Door Flocks To PlayStation And Switch Next Month

Death’s Door is one of the best indies of the year (and games period) but only Xbox and PC players have enjoyed it. That changes next month when the charming action game migrates to PlayStation consoles and Switch.

The charming adventure places you in charge of a crow that acts as a soul-reaper and a bureaucratic group of crows. These crows govern everything about death. However, when your assigned soul is stolen, you will find yourself in conflict with characters who have been cheating death for hundreds of years.

The gameplay is top-down, where you must fight your way through difficult enemies and high-ranking bosses. Outside of battle, you’ll explore dungeons across varied biomes connected by a secret-laden overworld. I scored Death’s Door a 9 out of 10 review and wrote that it “marries fine-tuned hack n’ slash action with a cool world ripe with secrets to unravel. The result is an entertaining, densely-packed trip to the other side.”

Look for Death’s Door to hit PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and Switch on November 23. As a cool bonus, those who pre-order get Titan Souls, developer Acid Nerve’s previous title, for free.
