YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8AG1mZyZ950 When the Light Dies is a super cool new released fresh and challenging roguelike. The game combines brutal survival mechanics with a relentless twin-stick shooter with some shades of Vampire Survivors. While you must kill everything around you without getting killed yourself, you also have to contend with cold, darkness, and your sanity. Bonfires you can light don’t last long. The fuel in your oil lamp is finite. Darkness makes your enemies stronger and your sanity plummets. The cold will kill you if you stay in it too long; the blizzards are relentless. When the Light Dies gameplay is solid, and the shooting feels great, with just the right challenge. It deserves way more attention. Hope you enjoy my video.

When the Light Dies adds a fresh and challenging twist to the survivor-like genre by making you manage your light source. At first, this can feel a bit limiting, but after putting some points into upgrades, the game opens up, letting you handle the tougher enemies and bosses more easily. Unfortunately, the lack of variety in enemies and bosses can make it feel repetitive after a while, since there’s not much new to see as you progress. That said, the gameplay is solid, the shooting feels great, and the challenge is just right. I would have loved more variety, but overall, When the Light Dies deserves more attention, especially now that it’s out of Early Access.

A very crunchy, heavy survivor type game that leans more into a methodical survival horror twin stick. Awesome monster and character art!

I really appreciated how the usual tropes like sanity and darkness has been implemented. It's a nice fresh new experience when comes to survival games. However, I did return the game because of the lack of variety in game-play. The main culprit are the skills. They lack imagination and there are very few of them. I saw that you can sign pacts with gods so that you can get special active abilities, tried one, but it wasn't enough to get me interested to play more.

It's ok, needs more content. The "freezing" of the game when you choose a skill is very annoying and looks like a crash

Really good, just rough when you start out. Basically like Graveyard Gunslingers but way way better. Very addictive with a lot of sub systems baked in.

Excellent horde survivor. Games are short, gameplay is simple and concise with a slice of grind (tiny one) Pros - nice graphics and runs well - gameplay is fun - gamepad friendly - nice powers and the grind is worth Cons: - Need a bit to improve the U.I (in game objects and powers management) - More content (skins, stages, modes, rewards,weapons) - Characters kind looks the same, need more skins Its a good 1.0 version for a little game. Keep it up, nice work devs!!!

This game really slaps it out of the park, besides looking good it shows a lot of promise, hoping the best for the future of the game. If possible I'd like to see the characters looking more different, their faces and all at least, I miss the bullet multiplier of the demo but besides that it's really coming together.
