LET IT DIE: INFERNO

It's fine but I'm confused as to why the new PvE focus includes forced PvP? You can't progress without jumping into PvP matches, leaving people who only want PvE to stick to the first level and keep playing that infinitely where-as we used to be able to simply drop into missions and opt out of PvP entirely. I love the overall feel of the game but being forced to do PvP just to progress the story is a huge downgrade compared to how the game was before Season 4. The AI slop is also really, really bad. At least they let you replace the worst of their AI music with the Deathverse soundtrack. Sadly, performance is frankly awful. Even at lowest with FSR on, I barely graze 40 frames at the best of times. It's still playable but it certainly doesn't make the game feel any better.

♥♥♥♥

its ok, probably in a better state than it was earlier this year but i wouldn't know since i just got it now that they released PvE. definitely different feeling than the original LiD in both gameplay and style. a little less grungier? but still very stylized, punky and vibrant. the weapons feel pretty weighty and sound satisfying lots of great details here and there (my favorite so far is the dekotora truck melee), cool enemy designs too, also i really like the food animals maybe even more than the mushrooms concept wise. if i were to guess then some of the gameplay elements take from deathverse? which was their previous LiD title, i personally didn't play it but i heard varied opinions on it considering it was purely centered on battle royale combat, both good and bad, though from what i've been playing so far i can see the vision if it does. the graphics make my eyes hurt a bit in certain bright areas but i barely tweaked the settings, if i can turn the bloom off then ill cross this out of the negatives. the ai music is terrible, and i know it is because i'd play around with that ♥♥♥♥ for funsies once in awhile. mostly likely its some suno AI crap, and it really throws me off whenever it starts because i genuinely liked the music from real bands in the first so to see them do this is really disappointing, the actual in-game industrial techno though i REALLY like, others might prefer the punk rock but i dig both. atleast you can switch the AI songs off, i just hope they can sign some actual bands now that they have some spending money from the offline release of LiD1 and this update but who knows. also the new uncle death VA is just ehhh, not awful just gives off a really fake surfer dude tone that doesn't feel right, understandable if they couldn't get the original tho. buy with caution, the devs are a bit stupid but they have cool concepts and good intentions... mostly.. i'd only recc it if you are craving for more let it die action.

now that there is pve since im not a fan of pvp i say give it a try

I love let it die. but this game is the worst game I have played in years.

Game Runs like Garbage.

LET IT DIE: INFERNO takes the foundation established by its predecessor and reshapes it into a darker, more ambitious roguelite action experience centered on survival, progression, and relentless combat. Developed by Supertrick Games and published by GungHo Online Entertainment, the game sends players into the depths of the Hell Gate, a dangerous realm filled with grotesque creatures, deadly traps, and valuable treasures. Rather than simply repeating the formula of the original title, this sequel introduces a fresh direction that focuses on descending through increasingly hostile environments while uncovering the mysteries hidden beneath the surface. The game's greatest strength lies in its fast and satisfying combat system. Battles are aggressive, demanding constant movement, precise timing, and careful resource management. Every encounter feels dangerous, especially during deeper runs where enemies become stronger and more unpredictable. The combat encourages experimentation through a variety of weapons, equipment options, and customization systems that allow players to develop their own approach to survival. Whether favoring speed, power, or a balanced style, players are given enough flexibility to adapt their tactics to the challenges ahead. A major highlight is the roguelite structure that drives the entire experience. Each expedition into the Hell Gate presents new opportunities and risks, creating a cycle of progression that remains engaging for long stretches of play. The procedural elements help maintain variety, ensuring that repeated runs rarely feel identical. Defeat carries consequences, but every failure also contributes to long-term growth through collected resources, upgraded gear, and accumulated knowledge. This balance between punishment and reward keeps the gameplay loop compelling and encourages players to continue pushing deeper into the game's dangerous world. Visually, LET IT DIE: INFERNO stands apart from many other action roguelites thanks to its unusual interpretation of hell. Instead of relying solely on grim darkness, the game embraces a bizarre and colorful aesthetic filled with surreal designs and strange environmental details. The result is a setting that feels both unsettling and fascinating. The art direction successfully creates an atmosphere that is memorable and distinctive, making exploration rewarding even when players are not actively engaged in combat. Combined with dramatic visual effects and imaginative enemy designs, the world maintains a strong identity throughout the adventure. Progression systems have also received considerable attention. Players can collect materials, improve equipment, unlock new capabilities, and utilize unique character mechanics that add depth to each run. These systems provide a strong sense of advancement without completely removing the challenge that defines the genre. Decisions regarding upgrades and loadouts become increasingly important as players venture deeper into more dangerous territory. This layer of strategic planning complements the action-oriented gameplay and gives the experience additional longevity. The game's narrative takes a more indirect approach, relying on environmental storytelling, mysterious lore, and eccentric characters to build intrigue. Returning fans will appreciate the presence of familiar elements, including the iconic Uncle Death, whose bizarre personality continues to inject humor into an otherwise brutal world. While the story is not presented in a traditional cinematic fashion, the setting contains enough mystery to motivate exploration and encourage players to piece together the larger picture themselves. Not every aspect of the game will appeal to everyone. Its difficulty can be demanding, especially for players unfamiliar with roguelites or action games that require precise execution. Some members of the community have also expressed mixed opinions regarding the use of AI-assisted content in portions of the game's production. Although the development team has stated that such assets were refined and integrated into the final product by human creators, the topic remains a point of discussion among players. Fortunately, these concerns do not significantly diminish the quality of the core gameplay experience. Overall, LET IT DIE: INFERNO succeeds as a stylish and challenging action roguelite that expands upon the ideas of the original while introducing enough new mechanics and concepts to feel like a meaningful evolution. Its addictive progression loop, intense combat encounters, imaginative world design, and strong sense of identity make it a worthwhile experience for fans of the genre. Players willing to embrace repeated failure, experimentation, and gradual mastery will find plenty to enjoy as they descend ever deeper into its strange and dangerous underworld. Rating: 6/10
