The Afterlife Expansion is indeed a love letter to those who played the original, which clearly shows that the developers have listened to their community and have even went beyond what is expected. Sorun’s journey may be familiar to fans of Death’s Gambit, but it also leans into building a new fanbase of those who enjoy games such as Castlevania and Dark Souls. Despite missing some additional content that I usually look for or have seen in other 2D Metroidvania ARPGs, such as side quests, Death’s Gambit: Afterlife stands on its own and should be a welcome addition to any Metroidvania fan’s library.
White Rabbit and Serenity Forge have both done an excellent job of producing more content, new features, and a simple yet impactful rework to the game. It is rare to see any developer put this much time and energy into a game that’s already released, and even more rare for them to do it over such a long period of time. If you’ve never played Death’s Gambit before, now is definitely the best time to check it out.
Death’s Gambit: Afterlife is releasing for PC and Nintendo Switch today, and will release on PS4 in the not too distant future. As for those who already own Death’s Gambit, the Afterlife expansion will be a free update. For everything about Death’s Gambit: Afterlife be sure to check out our Wiki.
