Gameplay

Death or Treat is a side-scrolling roguelite action-adventure game. Players have a whole new world for them to explore and secret locations to discover in this game. All the while, though, they will have to fight against hordes of enemies. Thankfully, the player has a very wide arsenal of fighting styles to draw from to push back against these enemies. Players get to choose between three different weapon styles: fast, heavy, or ranged, using the appropriate weapon for the occasion. The game’s combat mechanics are further deepened by the array of moves the player can do while in mid-air. With the coast clear, the player can now then safely explore rooms and collect treasures.

With treasures in tow, players can then return to the HallowTown whose shops can provide players with different services, like creating new weapons, expanding their inventory, as well as learning magic.
