Folks at Magic Design Studios have officially launched the 2D action roguelike Have a Nice Death. The game is out of early access and now available on both Nintendo Switch and PC.
New Content
Have a Nice Death’s launch update is filled with fun new content that you can explore to your heart’s content. Death Incorporated now has eight darkly charming, procedurally-generated departments, with the Inevitable Time Department being the latest. Here, you’ll face five new enemies, including Destinatus, Pendulus, Tempus, Dustin, and Kookoo. Of course, as the name of the department implies, you’ll inevitably face the boss of this new world: Time. Do you have what it takes to let Time know who the real boss is?
To keep the employees in the Inevitable Time Department in check, use these new weapons at your disposal:
- 3 new spells: Nihillaser, AnvilLauch, Void rift.
- 3 new cloaks: Vampire battery, Beaststell, Excavore.
- More than 30 new curses:
- Some new curses make your INFUSE evolve; for instance: Burn will now trigger an explosion at the end of the duration.
New Features
The full launch update will not be complete without new features. One of the most significant is that you’ll now know the progress of your ongoing contract via a message insight that pops up while entering the Death Office (lobby) or breakroom.
Additionally, there’s a new option in Have a Nice Death where you can hide damage numbers. This is a good way of decluttering the screen, especially when you’re facing multiple enemies at once. And, for all completionists out there, the game finally has achievements!
Here are the other notable things included in this full launch update:
