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.
Wccftech: 7.5 / 10 by sco De Meo
With its enjoyable story, melancholic atmosphere, competent gameplay and outstanding soundtrack, Death's Gambit is an enjoyable take on the Dark Souls series formula. Some flaws, such as floaty movement, weird hitboxes on select weapon types, and some mediocre bosses, however, prevent the game from being a masterpiece.
Destructoid: 6.5 / 10 by Jordan Devore
In the end, Death's Gambit resonates as a flawed gem, one I'm happy to have played. It's an uneven experience bogged down by technical woes and stilted combat, but if you can enjoy less-than-pristine games in spite of rough spots, it's worth taking a chance on. Just hold out for a few patches first.
TheSixthAxis: 6 / 10 by Aran Suddi
Death's Gambit is almost an above average 2D hardcore title, with challenging bosses and some solid environmental design. However the game lacks atmosphere and the story just doesn't quite take hold. The world is compact enough that repetition is unavoidable, and repeating the same steps can you wear down. Death's Gambit isn't a bad game but it simply doesn't have the spark that others in the genre do.
