Never played the original but will be getting this. Not only because it looks awesome, but also as a nod to a dev team who clearly cares about their product and players.
The game is AWESOME. I hate comparing games, but is a Mashup of Dead Cells, Hollow Knight, Dead Souls, and Ori. It takes the best aspects of all of those and throws them in. Really, really recommend it.
This buy was probably the best one I did in the last 6 months. I bought it around 10 days ago, played the fuck out of it and finished it in 3-4 days, absolutely loved it and I was like "Huh I guess NG+ time, might be a bit easy but it's ok we'll try stuff" and the next day the expansion drops and suddenly I have double the amount of content/mechanics. Already 55 hours in and I love this game, about to finish the expansion too and go on an NG+. This shit is DS in 2D and I love it
@@gremlinking5640 no it is a bad game. Every single mechanic was buggy and we have to wait 3 years+ for them to actually release the game. The only thing that was good about the game before this DLC was the voice acting. The rest is horrible
I played this at launch of PS4. really enjoyed it, never beat it though because I kept experimenting this the different builds. This game is really underrated. It's pretty impressive how different classes can really shake up your play style. Hopefully this is released on the 4 eventually and I can dive back in, finish up lol
The amount of quality, in-depth content you make is insane when one considers how many additional hours you need to spend actually playing the game. I don't understand how you can balance it.
Yeah literally this guy is insane, like all the games ranging from all types.. he knew what he is talking about, and whats more insane is he is an expert of the game mechanics.. like wtf it took me hours n hours to realise that while he already produce many high quality reviews
Didn't know this game existed, definitely buying this when I wake up tomorrow. I just can't get enough of metroidvanias and souls style games. I will never get tired of them
This is not just an expansion. Is a brand new game, i remember playing back when it was released in 2018 and i liked but it got boring real quick. Now this game looks more like a metroidvania and is so much fun to play and fight the bosses.
Awesome! I didn’t realize it came out today. It looks great, the only thing I wish is that they made armour pieces actually show up on your character and not just the cape that changes. Other than that I’m excited to play this after I’m done with tails of iron.
@@AxxmorbidfloristxxC eh… the combat is good but the constant going back to the same area over and over for 1 item got really annoying really fast. Would’ve been nice to have more forward progress instead of having to complete a bunch of side quests before being able to move on
Good on them! I enjoyed the base game well enough at about a 7.5 but it had issues. Always nice to see devs give a shit and improve player gripes with a fan supportive business model. No Mans Sky and Final Fantasy 14 are the best examples ive ever seen but this deserves support regardless. Great video also
Our review scores weight the game against all other games. This is a good fun game, but it’s not the best game ever. This score is a lot higher than the average 6.7 every other outlet gave it, because we think it’s good. Your perception is simply suffering from score inflation
@@Fextralife it's alright, i understand. To each his own like i said. By the way, you didn't really need to respond in kind to the other guy. Take it easy, remain professional and keep up the good work. Thanks for the review.
I completely disagree. A 6.7 isn't "good." It's fair if anything. This remake/update deserves way more than that. Honestly your response to that guy and this review are super unprofessional.
The pixel art in the original was phenomenal, I might have to pick this up I really liked the game and these quality of life changes are really nice (FINALLY THEY INCLUDE A MAP!!)
I remember playing the original version a few years back. Never got to finish it due to life and other games that came out. Now I see this video and that it's on sale right now. Definitely going to give this version a try now.
Played the original and really didn't like it, was bored and saw it on my library along with the Afterlife tagline which I didn't remember. Right off the bat I noticed differences and was wondering what it was. So far I've been actually enjoying it, combat feels better
This, quite simply put, is why indies are amazing. Any AAA developer would have left the game as is, released paid dlc to implement the improvements, or waited 5 more years to do a re-release. Take games like Anthem and Destiny for example. The games were unfinished husks of a game of release, Anthem got abandoned by the devs after a few small attempts to patch in fixes, and destiny got paid dlc that actively blocked out players who didn't pay in for it. Devs who are passionate about their games go to indie studios.
Great review and commentary. You've nailed it. Fished it, and starting again with another class. Its worth higher than a 7.9 score IMO. There aren't many games like DG Afterlife. It's unique and really well made. 8.5 - 9.0 score for me, the newgame+ is confusing. I wish it was more clear why I even want to play NG+. Also, I want the option to skip more story cinemas. There are a few near the end that kill the forward progression.
I am 1 year late here. I bought Death's Gambit around when it came out and never finished it. Earlier this year I saw the update and decided to jump back in. Super glad I did the game was amazing.
Very impressive rework by the devs. I will say that I still think a Metroidvania needs to focus more on verticality opposed to horizontally sprawling worlds. The horizontally expanding games have to spend extra attention on fast travel points to cut back on the insane backtracking through multiple biomes. I do think what is on offer here is done well but it's something to be mindful of for sequels.
Got this on ps4 when it first came out and it was okay but seemed out of place. Got the switch release as soon as it dropped and I'm not disappointed. Glad I added this to my metroidvania collection on my switch. Great video fextra
I've been seeing people giving the story section of this game lower points than its other aspects but I think the story has more to it if people understood what it actually is. Spoilers ahead : . . . . . . . . . . . . . Humanity lost the war miserably. Millenniums have passed and everything's archived; including events, memories and human conscious. They are stored in a museum called Garde Tum and even that failed to function at some point. Crow (Death) can be seen mentioning two times in this game that he's lost contact with Sorun. One when Sorun is stuck in Thalamus's first nightmare before unlocking dream shift and 2nd time in Chamber of Migration (Act A, choosing good ending). But in the Chamber of migration, Crow actually says that it has been thousands of years that he last contacted Sorun (and that he lost the count). From that point, the game actually refers the player as Observer instead of Sorun multiple times and it can be seen even after the credit scene. I believe something happened to the world when Endless beat Sorun in front of the gate (Ione & Vrael can be seen lying dead as well) which we do not see it but I think Sorun never reached the gate but Ione and Vrael only. Final thought, Sorun lost, humanity lost, their history's been abandoned so as their archived conscious/memory. Some anomaly or rogue program green lit an ultimate farewell to everyone before it permanently shuts off because of power shortage and I believe it's Origa. She's the only boss who does not kill Sorun and the only time where "Immortal defeated" does not appear after defeating her. She gives Sorun an access key which is known as "Forbidden key" to Garde Tum which just directly proves that Origa is kinda of a Firewall, allowing Sorun an absolution. Act A indicates this as well. In a cutscene, it was shown to us that Origa's parents left her alone for her conscious to be uploaded and used as a weapon instead. I think this whole game's actually a "Fool's gold". Everything's happening in a saved server with no free will. This just makes Thalamus the only good guy actually cause he puts you aside from the never-ending gambit loop with beloved memories. He knows ending is not an actual end but a futile attempt. He actually lets you keep the only human thing left in you just like his name suggests.
I can't comment on the original version, but Afterlife is fantastic. Looks great, sounds great, plays great. Reminds me a lot of Blasphemous, but with much greater variety of game play.
Great review, and I agree with you ratings, other than the audio and visual design one. Both audio and visuals are a 10/10 in this game, it's like the one thing it excels at.
i have to say, out of all the 2-d souls likes that came out a few years ago. this and salt and sanctuary are easily the best. looking forward to playing through again with the updates.
Absolutely! I had some issue with the base game of Death's Gambit, but I have been playing Afterlife today and it all feels much better. For a true Souls-Like 2D experience, this and S&S are tops as you said. I would consider Blasphemous, another favorite of mine, more of a "Souls-Lite" so that's the only reason I didn't mention that too
@@narcodium i have, but i really didn't see it as a souls like. other then the atmosphere and some of the designs the mechanics don't share anything with darksouls, doesn't even have a stamina system if i remember right. it's more of a "gritty" castlevania clone, then a 2d souls like
Just revisited it after like a year and god damn I don't know why I ever put it down. I remember being fairly impressed with it when I first played it but guess it just got lost to the backlog. Really glad I decided to jump back into it
This game deserves a huge community like how hollow knight, dead cells, blasphemous etc has...sad to see the game of such potential is hidden away from the public.
Just finished Afterlife Ending A. I tried the original release way back but didn't like it and now I can safely say that Afterlife is great! I would highly recommend trying it out!
Original was more souls like than metroidvania. Is this worth it if you care about souls like aspect much more? Is game thoroughly polished? Do it need patches?
I have beaten five bosses now in this game since the afterlife update. And I'm stuck. I literally have no clue where to go. I need three things to open up a door. But for some reason all of the things that I need to get are locked behind other walls that I have no way to open.
@@andreinishihara I very much appreciate you dude. It was right after the fight with Origa. I'm almost afraid to put more spoiler stuff on here. But, I did figure it out now. There was something that I completely thought was optional or to be saved for later game. But it was not. It was mandatory to proceed
I mever completed it. Made it to that immortal boss fight with the sword and kinda got bored. Qent to rewdownload it today and saw it had gotten an update
i am gonna be honest, i was keeping an eye out for this game since it was announced and finally in 2018 i got it....and it was not that great, i mean it even made me steer clear of 2d souls like for a while, until i finally got my balls together and purchased a game that i hoped will change my mind, and it did and until today i think it is one of the best in the genre.........BLASPHEMOUS, so go get that one and it has a free amazing expansion also, i myself will check the expansion for this but i am not holding my breath.
They're different beasts. Blasphemous has almost no RPG elements or even different weapons. Death's Gambit is all about customization. But on the things they do share in common, I prefer Death's Gambit. The gameplay is faster but not nearly as punishing as Blasphemous, there are no instadeath spike pits and such, and I find Death's Gambit story much more engaging. Blasphemous has a better aesthetic and more interesting world, and someone who wants a simpler game would like Blasphemous more.
It's more difficult than Blasphemous (which I'm half way through). With DG even after grinding two hours, I can't beat the third boss. Blasphemous gets tricky though there's no grinding.
Played the original quite a bit. It wasn't perfect, far from it - but it was quite enjoyable nevertheless. Finished the main story a couple of times but i never got around to beating the bosses on Heroic mode. Felt like you need to go there on NG+ with way higher stats and i generally dislike going through the game again with the same character. Now, fighting MORE bosses, that's what I'm talking about!
man how were all these features not presnt in the original, i mean like no map, tht's not even considered a metroidvania imo. it just wouldn't have felt like a full game then, right?
Looks fantastic. I really liked the original on PS4, so I'm sure I'll love this. I just bought on it on the Switch too, because the devs deserve it... this is quite the free content update.
It's one of those games which was good yet annoyingly flawed in some aspects, the improvements and additions should finally make it shine, Im certainly giving it another try.
I played the shit out of the original. I am a hardcore souls fans....but this game originally was too hard. Stamina was insane. One swing...stamina gone. This was my only complaint. Now on my newest playthrough...it seems almost too easy. Maybe it is because I spent so much time on the original. But it is still awesome. 9.25 outa 10. And I have played over 15,000 games. It sounds impossible but it is true. It just goes to show...this game is fantastic. It is easier now but still fantastic, visually pleasing, funny, and more...fair now. Definitely an amazing piece of work.

either give it 8 or 7.5, 7.9 is just stupid

4 days later, and I'm confident that this is my favorite game of the year. Did you end up getting it?
@@Parsinen257 play outer wilds with the dlc and oyu have another contender^^
Me to. Never played either but for 19 dollars it’s looks fun to bad graphics don’t seem to great
@ Michael T-rex Andrade
I’m glad I’m not the only one that noticed that. I couldn’t tell if I was just imagining the similarities
This is one of the best FREE content patches in the history of video games...kudos to the devs
Whose here from Epic Games.😅😅
Yep
yessir
Free great game?! Sign me up!
Meh
who is or who's

Already 55 hours in and I love this game, about to finish the expansion too and go on an NG+. This shit is DS in 2D and I love it
The sheer fact they revamped this game from the ground up is incredible
It's so much better now
If you haven’t played Deaths Gambit you are missing out. I can’t wait to jump back in for this new expansion!
It's free?
@@Boom_OH $17 but free if you already own original game.
Agree. Great and underrated game.
@@gremlinking5640 no it is a bad game. Every single mechanic was buggy and we have to wait 3 years+ for them to actually release the game. The only thing that was good about the game before this DLC was the voice acting. The rest is horrible
I played through about halfway when it first came out. I'll definitely try it again just gonna finish ender lilies first.
I played this at launch of PS4. really enjoyed it, never beat it though because I kept experimenting this the different builds. This game is really underrated. It's pretty impressive how different classes can really shake up your play style.

Always been intrigued by this game, these QOL changes are making it a must buy
The length they go through to improve the game for free is nothing short of amazing

That’s pretty typical for games like Castlevania, even those only show weapons. Was Tails any good?
@@brandonkruse6412 if you liked salt and sanctuary, you will like tails of iron.
Good game, but really short

The developers did an outstanding job, for Free! I think the game deserve no less than 8~8.5. But to each his own.
@@thelandsbetween5840 the way they praised it one would think of a much higher score, and deservingly so. Strange.

I’m definitely going to check this one out! Thanks Fextra!
You had me at "map" lol. I actually really liked the original and am excited to revisit it for a new and improved experience
Thanks for sharing this - only discovered today and gonna be getting this next! ❤
I remember playing the original version a few years back. Never got to finish it due to life and other games that came out. Now I see this video and that it's on sale right now. Definitely going to give this version a try now.
I bought this game earlier this month for $8 on PlayStation and have been anxiously awaiting this update. Great review!

Isnt the charchters too small in comparison to the backgrounds. it feels weird to me.

Purchased and installed on my Switch! $17 is a steal for this hidden gem.
Wait, i have this game on my PS4, would love to go back to it for another run. Is this expansion free for the original owners?
Yes
@@glow4417 awesome :D
Is it live now ? I don’t see it
I am 1 year late here. I bought Death's Gambit around when it came out and never finished it. Earlier this year I saw the update and decided to jump back in. Super glad I did the game was amazing.
It will be free on Epic Games from Aug 15 - 22 2024!
What class should I pick for the whole game, or can I change it later?
Very impressive rework by the devs.
I will say that I still think a Metroidvania needs to focus more on verticality opposed to horizontally sprawling worlds. The horizontally expanding games have to spend extra attention on fast travel points to cut back on the insane backtracking through multiple biomes. I do think what is on offer here is done well but it's something to be mindful of for sequels.
Got this on ps4 when it first came out and it was okay but seemed out of place. Got the switch release as soon as it dropped and I'm not disappointed. Glad I added this to my metroidvania collection on my switch. Great video fextra
ive put off the original because lots of people said that it was disappointing. but this time i think its worth buying. i hope its really good.
Just bought this on my switch, can't wait to play it!
would you suggest to start NEW or continue an old savegame? thank you!
I've been seeing people giving the story section of this game lower points than its other aspects but I think the story has more to it if people understood what it actually is. Spoilers ahead :

How much did you boost the volume when showing the npcs talking? I have to turn my tv up to the max to even hear these dudes in my game.
Downloaded last night on my switch but been busy with d2r and dandy ace. Will play today tho
Thanks for the review. Helped in my decision to finally pick this up today.
Heard/read the game was disappointing at launch, but Afterlife seems great! Just preordered the physical edition for Switch
I just came back to deaths gambit since my ps4 died last year. My god....this content parch is by far amazing.

I can,t find this on ps4 is this for switch only? Because the expansion is available on the ps store.
Coming soon :)
One of my favorites of all! Definitely worth it
I definitely get a no man's sky vibe from hearing this judging by the games history when it launched to its state now
Just revisited it after like a year and god damn I don't know why I ever put it down. I remember being fairly impressed with it when I first played it but guess it just got lost to the backlog. Really glad I decided to jump back into it
if you get the ps4 disc, will the game autopatch to afterlife?
The gameplay is fun, the pixel art is great. I kind of got lost often, not really knowing where to go or what to do.
Dude this came out of nowhere!! Amazing! Is it already out??
Yes it’s out
How long is the game?
Really good and informative Review !
Just bought it for the PlayStation. Excited to play!
Wait is ps4 getting this?? Game is in my library but there is no update?
Wait so is this the original redone or is this dlc for the original?
Redone with extra content, so both.
@@glow4417 amazing imma hit this up as i always put off playing this game for some reason and this is a great excuse to stop putting it off.
Just bought it cause its on discount not a huge fan of these games but REALLY loved bloostained ritual of the night hope im gonna love that one also!
This game deserves a huge community like how hollow knight, dead cells, blasphemous etc has...sad to see the game of such potential is hidden away from the public.
Just finished Afterlife Ending A. I tried the original release way back but didn't like it and now I can safely say that Afterlife is great! I would highly recommend trying it out!
Hell yes one of my favorite games of all time!
Is the ps4 version updated as well?
One of the best Metroidvania and the voice acting amazing
I would've liked it more if the music gained a slightly higher tempo during heavy combat as opposed to exploration
Original was more souls like than metroidvania. Is this worth it if you care about souls like aspect much more?
Is game thoroughly polished? Do it need patches?
It needed it
As someone who played the old version and now the new one, the combat still feels souls-like
I have beaten five bosses now in this game since the afterlife update. And I'm stuck. I literally have no clue where to go. I need three things to open up a door. But for some reason all of the things that I need to get are locked behind other walls that I have no way to open.
Look it up

I debating on if i should get this game. I loved blasphemous.
It’s a good game
I mever completed it. Made it to that immortal boss fight with the sword and kinda got bored. Qent to rewdownload it today and saw it had gotten an update
Damn. I thought I could play on ps4. Any idea of a release window
I think its supposed to be here by the end of the month. Take it with a grain of salt though.
From the overwhelming praise in this review, I was expecting a much higher score.
Does anyone know the release date of the ps4 update

Blasphemous has a better aesthetic and more interesting world, and someone who wants a simpler game would like Blasphemous more.
It's more difficult than Blasphemous (which I'm half way through). With DG even after grinding two hours, I can't beat the third boss. Blasphemous gets tricky though there's no grinding.
I'm between this and moonscars which is better guys?
How do I get the dlc for PS4
I have this game and i didn't even realize they had reworked the entire thing. I loved the original, this one is gonna make me coom
Dang, just finished Ori and The Will of The Wisps. Guess we're doing platformers this month.
I was questioning getting this or another metroidvania. Glad I got this gem!
Finally gotten it after been on fence. And i love it. These are my AAAs.
How come I've never heard of this game before? I noticed it in Nintendo's e-shop when looking for metroidvanias, looks interesting.
Can't wait for the PS4 update finished this game around 5 times now I just want the new weapons
Played the original quite a bit. It wasn't perfect, far from it - but it was quite enjoyable nevertheless.
Finished the main story a couple of times but i never got around to beating the bosses on Heroic mode. Felt like you need to go there on NG+ with way higher stats and i generally dislike going through the game again with the same character.
Now, fighting MORE bosses, that's what I'm talking about!
Looks like it's finally time to pick this one up!
amazing review ..thank u
man how were all these features not presnt in the original, i mean like no map, tht's not even considered a metroidvania imo. it just wouldn't have felt like a full game then, right?
Just got it. Like Blasphemous, Hollow Knight, and several others...looks like I'll be picking up the physical version as well.
1:44 uhm the original had voice acting as well
When is it on PS4
Wish we could get another 2d castlevania
I loved the original . Even if it lacked a few some things. I saw the potential in it. And not it’s even better
Looks fantastic. I really liked the original on PS4, so I'm sure I'll love this.
I just bought on it on the Switch too, because the devs deserve it... this is quite the free content update.
Woah! I was always curious about the original but now it's a must play
It's one of those games which was good yet annoyingly flawed in some aspects, the improvements and additions should finally make it shine, Im certainly giving it another try.
I played the shit out of the original. I am a hardcore souls fans....but this game originally was too hard. Stamina was insane. One swing...stamina gone. This was my only complaint. Now on my newest playthrough...it seems almost too easy. Maybe it is because I spent so much time on the original. But it is still awesome. 9.25 outa 10. And I have played over 15,000 games. It sounds impossible but it is true. It just goes to show...this game is fantastic. It is easier now but still fantastic, visually pleasing, funny, and more...fair now. Definitely an amazing piece of work.
15k games really? How long have you been gaming?
Thank you Epic.
