Death Kid is an exciting roguelite brawler with retro-pixel visuals and extremely dynamic combat. As the Child of Death, you descend into a dark pit, protect three fragile souls and break eight seals. If the souls fall, you go back to the beginning, but with constant progress through the Book of Death, each new attempt is more powerful.
Combat relies on quick three-part combos and a powerful strike on the third press, and rage mode delivers an explosive burst when you fill up your rage meter. In addition to the basic eight levels, the game contains a meta‑progression and a Challenge Mode. During gameplay, the atmosphere of the pit is further enhanced by an energetic soundtrack and minimalistic pixel‑art aesthetics.
Death Kid is available on PlayStation5, PlayStation4, PC (Steam), Xbox consoles and Nintendo Switch. rIf you like fast, skillful and challenging indie actions where every run brings progress, Death Kid is a great choice - a short but very intense experience.
