Critic Reviews for Angels of Death
There’s a lot to love in Angels of Death because it isn’t yet another indie horror copycat.
If you're a fan of visual novels and horror games, then you should definitely give this one a try
Angels of Death will click with those who hunt through it's rough gameplay segments and take in its interesting story. While the gameplay may be rough, the story and the atmosphere are enough to recommend this to any fan of the genre, and the puzzle qualities found within are interesting, even when they falter. This is a small game that manages to be creepy, even if it stumbles slightly along the way.
The game itself is a noble effort, sure, but ultimately far too ambitious to achieve what it's really looking to achieve. The end result is the death knell for horror games; it's just not intense or frightening enough.
What the game lacks in breadth and depth of puzzles it somewhat makes up for in variety.
Angels of Death revolves around its puzzle gameplay loop complemented by a great cast of characters and story that provides a compelling experience to players. One playthrough will deliver everything you need to know, which takes away from replayability, but makes it a great weekend game. Through its depressing story beats and clever design, Angels of Death wears its RPG Maker horror themes on its shoulder for fans of the genre to immerse themselves in.
