Have a Nice Death Reviews
Have a Nice Death mixes fast-paced combat with roguelike elements for an experience you’ll be DYING to keep playing.
Difficulty spikes, no matter how steep, are fine in games of this ilk, but it's harder to forgive Have A Nice Death's approach to rewarding players. There is, however, so much joy in Have A Nice Death's gloriously grim setting that it's absolutely easy to recommend, but for roguelike players that prefer their rinse-and-repeat gaming a little more forgiving and, most importantly, rewarding, there are plenty of better options out there.
The game may have some slight issues as far as run variety goes, but it still manages to feel conceptually fresh and worth playing, thanks to the extremely tight combat and controls.
Have a Nice Death may not quite reach the upper levels of the genre, but it's still a fun, well-designed game that will appeal to fans of challenging roguelites.
Have A Nice Death has everything a great roguelike needs: good combat, hard bosses, and multiple choices. All which results in a very addictive experience, but it fails in other aspects that make a game memorable.

Its unique style and theming definitely set it apart, although that really can't be said for the characters you meet along the way. On Switch, it is a fine experience, but do keep in mind that loading times will be a constant issue while traveling through Death Inc. I think it is good that there's a roguelike out there that forgoes the paperwork and just gets stuff done. What more can you ask for from a bureaucracy?.
Have a Nice Death is an average roguelike entry that can entertain for a two or so evenings. But that's all it can offer.

Have a Nice Death is a good combination of action and rogue-lite, with a good balance between the difficulty of the combat, especially the boss fights, and the pace of the unlocks. It pays to focus on one weapon and really learn how to use it and when to complement it with a spell or secondary attack. Boss engagements are all about patience and pattern recognition.
Have a Nice Death is a challenging roguelite, but also a lot of fun. Even though its randomness can be frustrating in some cases, the huge variety of alternatives for builds and the excellent combat system are able to leave you motivated to overcome these adversities.

I enjoyed Have A Nice Death a great deal and I'm sure you will, too, especially if you love roguelikes and combat-heavy 2D action.
Have a Nice Death is a carefully constructed roguelike with fast-paced action. The agile combat in a hack-and-slash fashion is its biggest highlight, especially for being easy to understand and offering many possibilities to combine various attacks and powers. Besides that, there's a ton of content to explore in an unusual universe that explores corporate world issues in a light and humorous way. Its concepts are solid and well developed but some issues are annoying, such as the stages being way too simple and the unbalanced elements. Luckily, the impeccable technical aspects and the fast rhythm of matches manage to offset the negative points. Have a Nice Death may not be innovative, however it is compelling in its excellent gameplay.

Have a Nice Death may have its problems, but it’s a great experience and one worth playing if you’re a fan of the genre. Plus, it has some of the best aesthetics in the business, and the little Death character is an adorable thing that is immensely fun to use as you destroy everything in your path. So, this game comes highly recommended despite the flaws.
Have a Nice Death is a fast-paced 2D roguelike that will always see you coming back for more and more. The game features a cast of fun, silly characters that parody the various types of office workers. Though the game deals with themes of death and overworking the game never feels morbid with its light-hearted humor and goofy soundtrack. Have a Nice Death is a fun game that fans of games such as Hades and Hollow Knight will greatly appreciate.
Have a Nice Death is a well-put-together and polished game with crisp controls, an engaging story, and an adorable hand-drawn art style. The soundtrack is an endless string of bangers that makes the runs engaging. With over 600 lines of dialogue, 9 departments, 10 bosses, and heaps to explore, there is plenty of content awaiting. The script, soundtrack and art style really set the tone for the game and ties everything together in a neat little bow. Have a Nice Death is a welcomed addition to the rogue-lite genre and sets a high bar for future releases.
Have a Nice Death is filled with wit, humour, and a ton of satisfying moments while offering a rewarding challenge.
It turns out, death actually was rather nice.
Unlike what Death wants to do to handle the issues in its company, Have a Nice Death isn't a revolution for the roguelike genre. However, this doesn't hinder the game's qualities and polishment, which is able to provide a fun adventure with a lot of strategic variety and intensity. As such, it's enough to walk through Death Inc.'s corridors and mow down enemies to live a sinister but adorable adventure.

Have a Nice Death is one of my new favorites. Between its engaging gameplay, fun characters, and fantastic art design, HaND is sure to go down as one of the best roguelikes I’ve ever played, and a game I’ll be talking about for a long time.
Without overlooking some unevenness in their methods of difficulty and progression, we are talking about a competent roguelike with a very funny and ironic criticism of large corporations. A fun and colorful alternative for those who love challenges.
