LET IT DIE: INFERNO

I really enjoy the game. Its combat feels great and mixing loadouts is fun. The only thing its missing is more content

I played the first one and loved it this one is better and has coop

Much better then what i was expecting. the spirit of let it die 1 is very much alive in this game. youll be scavenging materials to craft new weapons and armours, learning your way around new weapons and enemies like the old days but a TON of things have been changed and streamlined. this game really focuses more on build crafting of your body (and its subsequent cores) through use of the mastery system. like let it die 1 there are multiple archetypes of character you can chose from. like in the first game some fighters had large death bags making them more suited to collect gear and weapons, theres a character like that here, like in let it die 1 you had your attacker class focused more heavily on offense at the sake of defence, theres a character like that here so 7 body types to chose from (with more on the way) BUT! these characters can also be switched to a different style of play that compliments their archetype. for example im playing as timothy right now who feels like the all rounder type fighter. i can switch to a more defense and gathering type class if i want to focus on gathering resources for the next few runs. theres even more to the characters as well in that each has there own special ability (this worried me initially). my character has the ability to heal his wounds and build his rage bar (yep rage is in this) every 40 or so seconds. i was worried this would make the game cheesable but as you go deeper into the hell gate pit this skill actually balances out quite nicely, healing you for just a small amount as your health increases but giving you rage to use on special attacks. theres no durability so you can go nuts using rage as much as you like and not worry about breaking gear. the weapon mastery system has been retooled into a branching skill tree with paths you can priortise for your play style. in my characters tree i can, increase his death bag capacity,increase his damage with certain brands of weaponry (like how LID 1 had DOD arms, war ensemble etc this game has its own brands for gear too) increase the amount of SPLithium i gather (which plays a much bigger role in this game), make my special skill cool down faster and be more effective etc. Decals are gone but their effects live on. when you pass through a level you characters body will "level up". think of this as like moving from a 1 star fighter to a 2 star fighter etc, and each time you level up youll be given a choice of three cores to pick from. these are always random but they have potent effects. you might get a body core that increases your HP, provide you with healing when you crouch down AND allow you to navigate to certain parts of the map via special shroom paths you normally wouldnt be able to use, you might a core that increases your offense power by 10%, increasing your rage limit and rage gain or you might find one that drastically increases your blocking capability AND death bag capacity...the weapons and armour you craft also come with random rolls now which is very good at making you consider what build options youd like. would you like to aim for an armour set that has multiple stamina regen and capacity rolls (like golden heart decal) or would you go for one that provides a mixture of buffs to all stats (like the fighter decals) how about a set of weapons that specialise in maximising rage damage, counter strike damage or guard break damage? im sure theres more as im only quite early in the game but already im excited to try new combos with the other characters (like the class with a shoulder mounted turret because enemies can overwhelm you quite fast numbers wise) theres so much more i want to talk about but after thinking i was going to play for 20 or so minutes 4 and a half hours have gone by so ill sum it up like this. this game has HUGE potential. im just scratching the surface and running into new enemies (what are these ear, eye , mouth keys for?) so i was concerned that enemy types seemed a bit low but we need to remember the devs have pivoted to PVE so id expect more on the way. the music is a bit lacking. lots of tracks made by akira yamaoka and some indies but theres way more pop/dance sounding tracks (the devs snuck in some let it die 1 floor tracks as well). they do give you the option to decide what tracks to listen to in your home base and when youre out in the hell pit which is cool. Let it die 1 fans... jump in. youll be getting a more streamlined version of the experience LID1 provided, it has features people wanted in LID 1 like playable co-op ... PVP is still there IN A SEPERATE MODE, so you wont be forced in to it. no one will be raiding your base and stealing your hard earned resources whilst youre at work or just want to take a break for a while. at the current price its well worth your time. if it matters ive been playing let it die 1 since launch on ps4 and made it to the top of tengoku, currently playing a fresh file on PC thanks to the offline key and like say i think this game has huge potential but it definitely needs your support so the devs can continue to keep it going. people were quite negative about let it die 1 when it first released, calling it a predatory, P2W, MTX ridden, overly hard game designed to steal your money.... but we knew better then to listen to the whiners didnt we? ;) jump in senpai.
