Death’s Gambit for PC and PS4 is an oldschool 2D action RPG developed by the independent American studio White Rabbit. It was inspired by classic games in the spirit of Castlevania and newer productions like Demon’s Souls.
We play as a death’s emissary named Gambit, and our job is to purge the world from the immortals. Our mission takes us to a medieval planet where we will have to face numerous knights, undead, and monsters of all kinds. From time to time we will also encounter gigantic creatures that will require us to climb them in order to find their weaknesses and defeat them. This element brings the classic PlayStation 2 game Shadow of the Colossus to mind.
Gameplay in Death’s Gambit for PC and PS4 focuses on action and, like the previously mentioned Demon’s Souls, high difficulty level that will require the players to plan ahead and think outside the box. Death’s Gambit also has some basic RPG elements. We will level up our character and have access to a wide array of weapons and equipment. Our hero can be equipped with three special abilities at a time, one healing amulet, and two different types of weapons (swrods, bows, or even guns).
Death’s Gambit for PC and PS4 has pixelart retro visuals. Such style is very popular among the independent developers. The game is presented from a side-scrolling perspective, very much in the spirit of the Castlevania series. Visuals look good and do not strike as too oldschool. The game’s soundtrack was composed by Kyle Hnedak.

Game Ratings for Death's Gambit Video Game.
DualShockers: 7 / 10
Death's Gambit is a fantastically crafted game; the controls are tight, the bosses are memorable, and the graphics are great. However, the unrelenting difficulty makes it a tedious and sometimes painful affair. It's brutal challenge often feels like it's more of a test of the player's endurance and perseverance limits than it does supply an enjoyable experience. Each sitting is a grueling endeavor which can, unfortunately, be offputting all in all. It excels in a lot of situations and would undoubtedly appeal to fans of the Dark Souls series, but for everything that Death's Gambit does well it's unforgiving nature can take away from the game as a whole.
COGconnected: 75 / 100 by Michael Chow
While Death's Gambit as a whole falls a bit short of expectations, the game itself is a solid action-RPG.
PlayStation LifeStyle: 6 / 10 by Jarrett Green
Death's Gambit had such promise. At its core, it is the blueprint to properly take risks and make attempts to improve a game design that we all take for granted. But it's just surrounded with poor quality of life choices, while missing some things it should have absolutely nailed. Weird animations, strange pacing, counter-intuitive combat, and way too many bugs holds this game back from being something truly great.
