Death Must Die

Worth buying? What 300 Steam reviews say.

Very Positive · 90%2023

US Steam price, checked 4 h ago

The verdict

A charming pixel-art Hades/Vampire Survivors/Diablo hybrid with deep gear and build variety, but it's stuck in Early Access with long update gaps. Skip it if you need a finished game.

Great for

Fans of survivors-likes and ARPG loot who want build variety and don't mind an unfinished game

Main risk

Early Access with long update silence and only three acts, so content runs out and may feel abandoned

What changed in the last 30 days

Recent negative reviews cite no updates since late 2025, three years in Early Access and little new content. Fairly confident, since several recent reviews say the same.

Mentioned in ~1 in 4 positive reviews

“Every character has a couple talent paths that change gameplay dramatically, and in addition to regular gear there's also unique items (200+ of them!!) that make new, fresh, creative builds effective.”
