Slash or Die

This is a very disappointing game, can't say it's THAT bad, you decide: +The one and only plus - battle mechanics - 1st time I've seen it in indiegala minigame made by the same person I guess, and what can I say - there it was WAY better - to move around you click left MB, to dash and kill you click right MB - now about the problems of the game -You can't dash while moving - you have to release LMB if you want to click RMB - like, what's the problem? When a lot of enemies around you even the slight stop can kill you. -Now even bigger problem - a lot of times when you click to dash - nothing is happening - you can click RMB up to 2-3 times before it finally dashes, and no it's not your stamina, you have this problem even if you have 4 dashes available, but then, when you start spam right clicks to dash AND you finally dash, you can dash 4 times out of 4 stamina and waste all your stamina in half a second. That's just awful, you die 90% of the time because of that problem. -Annoying...

[h1] Great Little Game! [/h1] Great Game Play, Nice Soundtrack ! This is a great little retro inspired slasher, with some minor dark souls inspired elements. But dont go expecting a 2D dark souls, this is not that. Really great to pick up and play for a short time and then come back to it again and again. Really nice progression system. There really isn't anything to dislike here. And for 3 bucks. Hell yeah pick this up.

I am hesitant in giving [i]Slash or Die[/i] a thumb's up. It has a mildly interesting play mechanic, and is only three bucks. Fair enough. [b][i]Slash or Die[/i] is a coffee-break game and reminds me in some aspects of [i]Devil Daggers[/i] with permanent stat upgrades.[/b] And believe me, 10 minutes goes a long way - this is something you play very briefly and pick it up later. Just like [i]Devil Daggers[/i], of course. The game only uses the right and left mouse button (yeah, I know, no controller support). Left mouse button moves you around, and right makes you slash across the screen. The slash has a cooldown timer. The levels are static, and quite frankly, boring. Everything happens on one screen. [b]Pros:[/b] +Mildly entertaining coffee-break game with an interesting minimalistic attack and move mechanic. +It is cheap. [b]Cons:[/b] -The controls 'stick' sometimes, which is crazy annoying. Others mention this in reviews, too. -Artwork could be better. Not all pixel work is 'ret...

Wow such a sweet little game completely slayed by its shitty controls. Mouse only, hold mouse button to move, can attack while moving. If this had keyboard movement at least it would be great, feels like it is made for controller. Sorry to have to refund but you should take note of the many complaints around this issue.

So you slash enemies and they die. If you fail to slash an enemy, and enemy slashes you instead, you die. Slash or Die. But seriously, it's a fun casual action-rpg. Check it out.

This game is fun for a bit, to boot up and mess around with here and there. The pixel graphics and music are enjoyable, and the upgrade system (more health, stamina, speed, bleed damage, etc...) adds some variety to the gameplay. The game is a bit simplistic (which I don't mind) but the reason I don't recommend it is the limited mouse controls are annoyingly / unreliably implemented. Gameplay consists of you clicking / holding LMB to move your character around the screen toward the cursor as you dodge enemies while they constantly swarm you, with RMB being your attack / dash move (with the default character) to dispatch them or create some space between you. This is all well and good but there are often moments when your character will just not perform his RMB dash attack to evade the enemies. He just stands there with his dick in his hand and gets hit (or worse killed) by the enemies. This is caused because you have to fully release LMB, click RMB briefly to dash/attack then click / h...

An amusing little time-waster, but serious bugs and mind-numbing grind prevent it from being more than that. It's dirt cheap, but I'd still wait for a sale.

Easy to pick up and a little masterpiece for simplicity. Roguelike game with ingame points to spent for upgrades, think about more health, stamina (which is used to attack), speed, damage and certain skills (depending on class). Left mouse button to move, right mouse button to attack. Three different classes of which two have to be unlocked, so far I played the warrior and berserker and both feel very different to play, while still being equally balanced. Good to play for a while and to pick up later on. Definitely worth the 3 bucks, even more so if it gets on sale. Oh yeah and it has an awesome oldschool soundtrack which totaly fits the game!

Not bad at all. It's a bit slow in the beginning, and could use some polish (it feels clunkier than it probably should, and sometimes the slash doesn't hit enemies it should), but for this price, it's a very good, very simple little game. The bosses and later enemies add some strategy into the game, and it doesn't feel like a mindless clickfest. No real, major downsides like other people have already said. It succeeds well in what it does.

After playing this game for only a few minutes, I can tell you xactly what is wrong and right with it. Graphics, music, upgrades, design, variety = All present, all decent. The problem is the controls. They're tricky at best and frustrating and unresponsive at worst, and in a game where that's your SOLE mechanic, it simply can't be overlooked. It doesn't mattre how good the other aspects are if the driving game mechanic is undeerperforming or even broken. Th mouse control makes this game challenging for all of the wrong reasons.
