The setting and its crows and froggy beefcakes is interesting, but there’s nothing in the combat I haven’t seen before. There’s dodge-dashing, fast switching between melee slashing and firing arrows, and well-telegraphed attacks from various bosses.

Does that matter? Probably not when it’s done well, and Death’s Door is from Acid Nerve, the two-person (and friends) team responsible for 2015’s Titan Souls. It was a similar topdown blast of combat against strange boss monsters andAdam adored it. Brendan named it one of thebest games like Dark Souls.
