Review

Death By Scrolling offers a charming yet chaotic journey through the unpredictable landscape of Purgatory. Players will appreciate the straightforward controls and engaging combat as they race upwards, battling bizarre monsters and dodging the ever-looming threat of death. However, while the premise is delightful, the repetitive nature of the gameplay and sometimes unclear level designs can dampen the experience. For those seeking a casual run, it can be fun, but long-term engagement may falter as each run feels too similar to the last.

The game has received mixed reviews, with scores ranging from 40 to 90. ScreenHub praises it for its undiluted fun and accessibility, while GameSpew notes its delightful twist on the auto-attacking roguelike genre. In contrast, Eurogamer Germany criticizes its lack of content and gameplay depth, which contributes to a varied reception from the gaming community.
