Death Tales
Death Tales offers enthralling level design with colours dynamically reacting everywhere you look. Regrettably, this is where the positives end. Each level plays the same as the next, and some items remove large amounts of difficulty from the game. The enemies may look different in each new area but foreseeing their attacks is a breeze.

The gameplay is a mixed bag, with some players finding it visually stunning and mechanically smooth, while others criticize it for being heavy and repetitive. While the controls may take time to master, the game offers a customizable experience as players progress. However, concerns about a lack of enemy variety and the ease of gameplay due to item mechanics have been noted.
“Mechanically, the gameplay is smooth and the challenge is appropriate.”
“You will get lost in the gameplay and be drawn into the world.”
“A sidescrolling metroidvania gameplay with an art style that reminds me of a mix between Shovel Knight and a Tim Burton fever dream!”
“It's visually stunning, the music is satisfying, and gameplay is... mediocre.”
“[repetitive gameplay, items take away difficulty, no enemy variety]”
“The controls took me a minute to get down, but the game trickles down the mechanics to you so you can help customize how you want to play the further you get into the gameplay.”
