In Death’s Door, you’ll get assignments from your crow friends in the crow world to head off into other realms to reap some souls. It gets more complicated than that, of course, with you ending up on the hunt for a thief who’s stolen a soul you need to collect. During your adventures, you’ll do plenty of platforming and fighting. It looks as though you can have different weapons, from glowing swords, to scythes and bows, and you have abilities like dashes that’ll help you out too. The environments all look very lovely. I admire the sorts of designs that look bleak, yet still have a prettiness about them. Death’s Door also has lots of weird and wonderful-looking character designs. I mentioned it in my Day Of The Devs roundup (during which we saw footage of Death’s Door), but it has similar dark-yet-cute vibes to Hollow Knight, which are the sorts of vibes I’m very much here for. All in all, it seems like a good little adventure that I’m quite looking forward to. Death’s Door arrives on PC via Steam on July 20th, and it’ll cost £17/$20/€20. It’s also coming to Xbox consoles.
