This is an interesting and quite frankly enjoyable mechanical change from the Souls games. You can choose to go recover the feather, or you can rest at a Death Idol and pay to recover your lost feathers with shards. Instead, you lose one of your healing feathers every time you die.

Upgrade materials called shards are collected as you play the game and defeat enemies, and these are NOT lost upon death. They replenish when you die or rest at a Death Idol. Healing is done through the use of healing feathers, which can be collected and upgraded throughout the game. When you die, you return to the Death Idol you last rested at. The game has its own form of bonfires called Death Idols which you rest at to save, level up, and replenish healing items. The tutorial takes the form of tombstones around the first few areas that you read to learn what to do.

Trial and error is the best bet for finding out what everything does. A sentence or two of information under each item description is all you have to go on with the starting item and all of the rest of the items throughout the game. In addition to the class selection, you get to choose a starting item, which is just as obscure and difficult as selecting a starting item for the first time in a Souls game. This makes getting started pretty simple, but without a lot of knowledge it is hard to know what build is going to work for you until after you have played a good bit. Each class also starts with decent gear designed for whatever playstyle your class is designed for. These again work similar to the Souls games, with each stat being tied to a weapon you use, strength into greatswords, finesse into scythes and so on. Each class changes your starting stats, which consist of Vitality (health), Strength, Finesse (dexterity), Endurance (stamina), Intellect (magic) and Haste (bow and cast speed). The character class selection screen is a simplified, shortened character class selection and creation screen we have seen so many times.
Upon first loading in, the similarities to Souls are incredibly apparent, but almost an intentional parody. Death’s Gambit certainly manages to draw mechanical inspiration from similar games that came before, but added more than enough of its own flavor and gameplay to make it something special and unique. One of the things that I love so much about these 2D Souls inspired platformers is the amount of character and uniqueness that the good ones are able to bring. I spend the majority of my time playing, writing about and dreaming about the Souls games so it only stands to reason that I took this game on.

Death’s Gambit is another in a long line of 2D, side scrolling action platformers that draw heavy inspiration from the From Software developed Souls series.
