Dec 13, 2021My favorite indie game from all time, an absolute masterpiece! I don't regret paying full price for this game is totally worth it! The gameplay and music are amazing, I really enjoy this game a lot and the fact that it was made by just two people is incredible. What they did is awesome, and really recommend giving this game a try.

Nov 29, 2021So far this game is pretty sweet, cool graphics, awesome sound track, can be difficult but nothing you won't eventually get, I'd say it's worth the 20$

Dec 2, 2021Just simply AMAZING!! The bosses are pretty worked and optimized and the history is my favorite thing of this game.

Jan 11, 2022Brilliant. very similar to a 2D zelda game. I bought this when it was on offer on the estore. Already worth the price as its not listed as a full price game. Bargain if you can get it at a reduced price. As estore often does various offers

Dec 11, 2021Outrageously fun game. The story, combat and just the right amount of exploration/secrets make this a top game of the year for me. I found the difficulty to be just right -- challenging but never felt like a grind of any kind. Secrets are discoverable with simple ingenuity, not so cryptic that you need to find a walkthrough. A near perfect game.

Nov 27, 2021I played it on steam and now also on the Switch. I absolutely adored this game, it has such a unique style and the music is absoluetely amazing. I can fully recommend this game to anyone who likes games like Zelda (the old ones), Hollow Knight or simply has a preference for indie games. For me definitely a gem!

Dec 3, 2021I am really enjoying this game. Mix of puzzle, exploring and action. The challenge is fair and the game is a pleasure to play.

Jan 24, 2022A fun 8-hour ride that keeps you engaged until the very end. The puzzles aren't too difficult and the combat is satisfying but not too complace where you're juggling different attacks and skills.

May 26, 2022I loved the world this game built, I loved the characters, and the gameplay was ok. The checkpoint system killed me. How hard it was to increase much needed health, killed me. In the end I was too frustrated to finish and deleted before doing so. If you can stick with it, I’m sure it’s a good game. Would avoid if you have a short temper though.

Dec 21, 2021Very dull gameplay, combat, environments, bosses. Meh game on all accounts. Yawn.

Feb 21, 2022Un juego bueno sin más. En lo artístico muy bonito, con toques de humor que te esbozan una sonrisa de vez en cuando. Creo que su punto más fuerte son las mazmorras muy inspiradas en las clásicas mazmorras de los Zelda, y con un combate y una progresión de personaje un poco desaprovechada. Creo que el combate es su punto débil, juego realmente sencillo y bosses poco inspirados.

Feb 24, 2022very repetitive it reuses a lot of assets and music but not in a very interesting way

Jun 23, 2022Awesome! ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ It's one of the most pleasurables games I've played this year. A love letter to anyone who enjoy "souls-like" games.
-
Dec 28, 2021Interesting game if you don't play in any part of Zelda ever. Deaths door is generic adventure without new ideas, other Devolver Digital games much better than this.
-
Mar 17, 2022A good challenge with a really fun world to it. It rewards exploration and has some fun boss encounters. I was quite engrossed in this game and finished it quickly. I'm a newer gamer, so I haven't played the older Zelda titles this is compared to, but this makes me want to go back and play those.

Jan 9, 2023A very good game in isometric 3D.
Very good because on the one hand the gameplay isn't overcharged: Movement, hand-to-hand weapon, ranged weapon and dodge are all what's needed. On the other hand its art style, quite sombre but with its colourful moments.
It took me slightly over 20 hours to see the credits, for such a game that's not bad. -

Mar 28, 2022Best indie game of 2021. Now is on game pass but I have bought and played few days after premiere. I have spent nearly 20hours cause I really love this game. I want to try some other games this studio.
-
Jan 8, 2023If you have the time and like the souls-like games, go for it. I do not have the time nor the patience for this, I play to entertain me and relax, this game does not do this.
-
Feb 17, 2022Amazing game, beautiful art style and gorgeous soundtrack. There is so much to discover and the story is so interesting and the bosses are actually challenging. Do yourself a favour and get it.

Jan 14, 2022This is an amazing game. The music, the story and the fights are awesome.
It looks like the wind waker zelda game. -

May 15, 2022Good game. I really loved the art design and the music. There's a good mix of mood and humour going on. Decent challenge (you might let loose the occasional expletive in frustration), and, for the most part, interesting areas to explore and goodies to find. Not "souls-like"- but rather "Zelda-like". Some repetitive areas, but for me it was short enough not to wear on me and kill my interest.
-
Mar 17, 2022Love this game but I will deduct a point for late game being bit of repeat. The difficulty of late should have been bit more. Would have liked if the end boss had unique attacks than rehash of old attack patterns. Absolutely loved the game; any complaints are minor.

Dec 18, 2022The game is alright. It’s beautiful but stutters on switch. It’s also very grindy. The exploration is fun but limited. It feels like a $5 game. If you pay more than this, you’re paying too much. Update: the longer I play this game the more I dislike it

Apr 13, 2023Un precioso juego indie que lo hace casi todo bien. Gráficamente te atrapa desde el primer momento con su belleza y la música acompaña en todo momento. El combate es ágil y lleno de posibilidades y los jefes son divertidos y en algunos casos desafiantes.
Un imprescindible si eres un amante de los Zelda clásicos y los souls like

Nintendo Force MagazineMay 13, 2022All in all, Death's Door is itself quite a Shiny Thing. [Issue #58 – March/April 2022, p. 19]

Jan 10, 2022Death's Door tightly packs a challenging action-adventure into some of the more enjoyable ten hours of 2021. It's a game deserving of the hype and spots on game of the year lists. Unfortunately, there aren't any difficulty options to help make the game more accessible. While it is a challenging game, it's a challenge that you feel you can overcome as you unravel what is going on in the department.

Jan 3, 2022Death’s Door feeds a nostalgia for Zelda-like adventures while sprucing up nearly every aspect. Graphics, sound, and—not least—combat mechanics are polished to near perfection. Despite some very minor flaws, the final experience is an extremely rewarding challenge.
