Let It Die is a strange concept, not only in game but in marketing. A high quality hack’n’slash in the veins of the Dark Soul Series, with Suda51 flair that is free-to-play. It really should come at no surprise that the game has surpassed 2 Million Downloads and has maintained a large following (I’m not even mad that I’ve spent money on Death Metal so I can purchase the game’s “Insurance” to keep a character alive after getting brutally murdered.)
For the team at GungHo Online Entertainment America and Grasshopper Manufacture, this is a huge moment and to celebrate, they will be holding a special event. Players who log into the game between Today and February 23 will receive one free Death Metal to help climb the Tower of Barbs. During this time there will also be R&D rewards for players who bring weapon blueprints and appropriate resources to Chokufunsha in the Waiting Room and tripled Premium Decal rates when players make purchases at the Mushroom Club.
You can see the full details about the event at the Let It Die site, which details some of the finer points including the Premium Decals and exceptions to the R&D rewards.
GungHo Online also released a quick Let’s Play/Commercial of Director/Comedian/Podcaster Kevin Smith (who was recently playable in a game as himself) playing and failing at Let It Die. You can check out that video above!
