  • story
    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story in "Die with Glory" follows Sigurd, an unreliable Viking storyteller on a quest for a glorious death, accompanied by his humorous companion, Ragnar the flying skull. While the game features multiple story paths that offer some replayability, the overall narrative remains linear, leading to a somewhat anticlimactic conclusion. Players engage with various characters and settings in a humor-filled adventure, but the core storylines tend to converge, limiting the impact of the choices made.

    • “You will travel across the lands of Midgard on a quest for a glorious death that has eluded him for all his years on the battlefield.”
    • “Your story begins on the shores of Midgard, where you will meet your faithful companion Ragnar the flying skull, who throughout the game can help you with hints and humor.”
    • “Die with Glory is a humor-packed adventure game with a rich, non-linear storyline where your ultimate goal is to die.”
    • “Was anticipating that opening new level endings could change the whole story, but it stays linear.”
    • “Stories are the same, so even though there are different story paths, the specific stories seem to be only completable in one way.”
    • “It looks like you're reaching a crescendo in the story when instead it's just, 'thanks for playing!'.”
  • humor
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in "Die with Glory" is a mixed bag; while some players find the interactions with the character Ragnar the flying skull and the game's attempts at humor enjoyable, others feel that the jokes quickly become repetitive and fail to elicit genuine laughter. The humor is described as subjective, with some attributing the lack of effectiveness to cultural differences in comedic style. Overall, it offers a light-hearted experience for fans of point-and-click adventures, but may not resonate with everyone.

    • “Die with Glory is a humorous point-and-click adventure game.”
    • “Your story begins on the shores of Midgard, where you will meet your faithful companion Ragnar the Flying Skull, who throughout the game can help you with hints and humor.”
    • “Die with Glory is a humor-packed adventure game with a rich, non-linear storyline where your ultimate goal is to die.”
  • graphics
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are praised for their beautiful art style and detailed visuals, with a charming soundtrack enhancing the experience. However, there are criticisms regarding the lack of graphic settings and inconsistencies between the different art styles used in gameplay and cutscenes. Overall, while the artwork is appreciated, the need for more graphical options and cohesion is noted.

  • gameplay
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is described as charming yet simplistic, reminiscent of other point-and-click games, but it struggles to maintain engagement due to frustrating mechanics. While the art styles—rough black and white cutscenes and a cartoonish gameplay aesthetic—are appreciated, the overall experience may not fully capture the charm expected from the genre.

    • “At first, it is both charming and simple enough that the frustrating gameplay tricks you into getting into it.”
    • “I do like both art styles they decided to go for, the rough black and white style cutscene and the cartoonish style the gameplay takes place.”
    • “After 5 hours of gameplay, I still have not attained my glory.”
    • “Well, as similar in the core as 'Die with Glory' is to other point-and-click games, it fails to capture the most important thing of the simplistic gameplay genre: charm.”
    • “At first, it is both charming and simple enough, but the frustrating gameplay tricks you into getting into it.”
  • music
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “The sound and music are well done.”
    • “+ mellow soundtrack”
    • “5 second music loop”
    • “Mobile port with a 5 second music loop, pure 'touch' controls where a level is finished with a bare handful of clicks, and it even goes so far as to ask me to rate it 5 stars on some nondescript app marketplace after the first real level.”

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious, particularly in the later stages, where it often devolves into repetitive tasks.

    • “Grinding becomes especially tedious towards the end as it turns into doing the same thing repeatedly.”
