There isn’t much voice acting to speak of since all characters speak in a gibberish language akin to The Sims or Animal Crossing. Always retaining the fun and lighthearted feeling that is present throughout the game. Each level and boss puts its own spin on it, from a corporate elevator sound collection to songs inspired by the Adams Family. Every department in the game features its own collection of songs that will have you bopping your head while narrowly avoiding deadly attacks. Luckily this is nothing game-breaking but it can cause some frustration.Īlong with a fun and quirky visual style comes a matching soundtrack. While the performance is good overall, there are some frame drops when entering the level or when there are a lot of enemies on screen. Luckily, some of the later levels feature more color, but it depends on your skill on when you will be getting there. While it is in sync with the theme of death and the world of Death Incorporated, the mostly black and white color pallet does get old after some hours and beg for some more color. This all delivers a memorable experience. Each Sorrow is perfectly designed and clearly represents the world it is chaperoning. All characters and worlds feature beautiful 2D graphics screaming with personality.

Have a Nice Death features a charming art style that makes you feel like you’re playing through a Tim Burton movie. Aside from these characters you’ll find some other NPCs, who are only there to deliver quips and tips. Most interactions with these Sorrows are a few lines of dialogue focused on throwing in some jokes. While there isn’t much development or actual storytelling throughout the game, this setup does feature a fun and overarching theme to make all the levels and boss fights feel like a coherent experience. Now, he has to visit the different departments based on ways to die and their bosses, the Sorrows, to set them straight and earn himself some rest. At the start of the game, Death is coming close to burnout from all the paperwork due to the insane amount of work his subordinates are delivering. As you would expect, Death Incorporated deals with all the people who meet an unfortunate end. The story of the game follows Death, the CEO of Death Incorporated. Have a Nice Death takes this principle and mixes it in with 2D action platforming to create a fast-paced experience that makes you look at death in a whole new way.

Enter a dungeon, upgrade your character, get your ass handed to you, and repeat. Roguelikes have always had an appeal as video games.
