The gameplay of "Let It Die: Inferno" has received mixed reviews, with many players noting a significant departure from the original game's mechanics.

- “The gameplay loop is satisfying, and the combat overall is definitely better and more complex than the first game.”
- “The core gameplay loop is addictive, the PvE is good and you need to get good to progress; once you understand the game, the loop feels rewarding and every time you die you can only blame yourself.”
- “Let it die: inferno delivers what a sequel should deliver: better mechanics, stronger performance, expanded systems, and a deeper world, all while honoring the tone and style of the original game.”
- “Combat is clunky, gameplay is slow.”

- “Even within the first hour, the music sets a strong vibe: energetic, stylish, and atmospheric.”

The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with many praising the beautiful environmental artwork, unique character designs, and overall aesthetic, which maintains a punk-horror vibe. However, performance issues, such as lag and inconsistent frame rates, detract from the experience, leading some to feel that the visuals do not compensate for gameplay shortcomings.

- “The UE5 performance can be improved, but the graphical quality is awesome.”
- “Textures, lighting, and performance are all improved without betraying the iconic 'Let It Die' art style.”
- “The only positive I can give this game is that it gave me a renewed appreciation for the 2016 game I was obsessed with as a teen. However, this runs horribly even on low graphics, and I can play other 2025 games at higher settings than this. I don't know why it can't get a consistent 60 frames on the lowest settings; I'm lucky if I get a consistent 30.”
- “The graphics seem to hurt my eyes sometimes.”
- “The graphics are a downgrade somehow.”

The monetization in this game has drawn mixed reviews, with many players criticizing its aggressive microtransaction model, especially given the game's price tag. While some argue that the microtransactions are primarily cosmetic and do not impact gameplay, others feel that the system is predatory and designed to push players toward spending money. Overall, the monetization practices have left a bitter taste for many, leading to concerns about fairness and long-term support from the developers.
- “Don't get me started on the monetization; I've seen it and I know it's dumb, but I don't feel like while I'm playing that I ever have to interact with it or use it in any way.”
- “Microtransactions are mainly cosmetic; yes, there's a shop to get some gear with the paid currency, but there's no point in it since there's a shop right next to it selling about the same stuff for the regular currency instead. It's far from pay-to-win in my opinion.”
- “The monetization can flat out be ignored because of its irrelevance.”
- “The grind is excessive to the point of absurdity, clearly designed to push players toward monetization rather than reward effort or skill.”
- “The monetization is a little aggressive considering this is not free like the prior game; I would have expected the ability to at least earn a little premium currency via the game, but after several matches, I haven't seen a way to do that.”
- “The fact it cost me $25 and on top of that had the gall to try and sell me microtransactions as well is absurd.”

- “And calling it a story is kind of overreaching.”

The humor in the game is described as quirky and over-the-top, blending Japanese comedic elements with a darkly humorous atmosphere that enhances the overall experience.

- “The aesthetics and music alone in the original are enough to retain someone because it feels so out of place, but fits together so well paired with the crazy voice lines, combat, gore, etc. I remember playing when it first came out and thought things looked and were so over the top, it was hilariously sweet.”
- “The atmosphere is pure 'Let It Die'—strange, stylish, unsettling, and darkly humorous but amplified.”

Obviously, there is a lot of progression through bodies and everything, but the map is always the same, which is underwhelming.”

Players note that the game offers significant replayability through various playable characters and areas, although some express a desire for more options.

They are going to have to do some godly optimizing and perhaps focus on the PvE aspect to draw in their core fans who don't want to do the PvP stuff. It should be a separate option 'Hell Core PvP' with a different story for extra replayability and no PvE items, just PvP items.”
