I Found My New Favorite Game 

I love it when games are not afraid to give players broken stuff. Balance doesn't always equate to fun.

Vampire survivors + Hades = W

Watching Asmon play most games often feels like one of those ads where they show someone playing the game poorly to make you want to play and do it better... 😂

This game looks like it hits all of Asmon's checklist

This game is so good. The devs need to hire 10 more artists and programmers and crank out a full campaign.

Music is on point, game look is retro as heck but in a modern way, I love that. I even kinda like the animations, even tho they might feel a bit off, specially on the assassin xD. Fun to see Asmon play these type of games every now and then.

Name of the game: Death must die

Kront is so strong. If you armormax on him and then get the sigil to convert each point of armor into 1.2% attack damage you can run around critting for 1000. I just started playing yesterday too. I can only imagine how crazy it gets when you've got all red gear.

Ive been obsessed with this game for the last few days, already spent over 50 hours in it. Seeing asmon playing and enjoying it makes me so happy, ngl.

his last run which completed the game is like every single manwha about players becoming OP through a necromancer build.

Why am I having such a good time watching Asmon play this game?

Having played the game for a few hours now, it is really well done also considering that it is still in early access. The characters, art, animations, voice acting, sound design and skills are all already really nice. Gonna be exciting to see how it will be when it is fully released.

Asmongold: If I didn't lose health then I wouldn't dies. Genius. 👏

PLS TRY ONE THING take the WICH which has a ranged attack and try to get all the 3 TIME UPGRADES, the one which gives u faster attack per xp orb, the one which lets your attack spawn xp orbs out of the mobs and the one which gives you more range to get xp orbs and try to get per equipment +1,5k xp orb range

Was wondering why the views on Death Must Die exploded like crazy, didn't take long to figure out why though Really glad to see you enjoy the game, I think it has overall great potential and there are some fun updates coming, including a new map :)

Looks like Halls of Torment and Hades had a baby

This game looks awesome I like that the enemies wind up their attack instead of instantly hitting you on contact. Gives an extra way to strategize your movement.

19:04 he starts creating his own gravity well with all that spin and vortex pull!!!

@18:54 - LOL!!! That Ramp is hilarious 🤣

I 100% halls of torment now after watching asmong's video, and started playing holocure (about half way of unlocking all the characters and about 80% on all the achievements), now this game is on my list.

I really hope he plays more of this, so good to watch.

Playing Merris with summoner sign, onyx dragon from relic, skeletal army from amulet, raven and necro from mort, and getting expert/mastier tier *the summoner* in 7 or 8 mins is absolutely a blast.

Has anyone of you seen mobile games adds, where the player does everything wrong and you get annoyed that they do such blatant mistakes - thats asmon in every single game!

path of exile look strange

Funny how the video says the game is *"Path of Exile"*

Binged first episode the whole thing in one sitting.

They should get rid of alteration dice or make them expendable. Its just too easy to take death+time each run and spam life drain for a free win.

Woohoo was hoping for a 2nd session of this!

Just got done with a 5 hour session of this game… it’s way too much fun.

For anyone interested, this game is Death Must Die

Saw this stream, bought this game as I saw it. Played the Knight, got the Malady Legendary power which spreads all status effects to enemies around the ones I just killed. Thought I'd surely win. Died at like 16:37. Stayed up way too long than I should have. Finished the whole map with the Knight. The game is great. Faster paced than Vampire Survivors, with more decision making on player part - you not only choose the build, but also the gear, moreover, apart from those decisions you decide when to attack and when to dash - those gameplay elements deepen the gameplay considerably. I am looking forward to seeing this title get developed further. Great game to have for Christmas, I know I'll be playing it on ym laptop at my parents' place.

Pixel art done right always looks gorgeous

I am a simple man, I see Asmon playing this kind of game and I click the video and watch for hours.

I believe you get only 3 different gods then the fates. You can use alteration dice to force justice if you want regen

Asmon not taking time field everytime physically hurt me

yo Asmon, if you do read this, please do more of this game, and this genre in general, i dont know how it does views wise, but it seems like you have the most fun and its great to watch, cheers man

It’s so frustrating watching him NOT check his gear! 🤣

Hades + Diablo + Vampire Survivors

Im not usually a backseat gamer but... holy crap so many wrong decisions were made xD incineration and combust are SO powerful if you have an easy burning application. And almost always pick a higher tier skill if it shows up. It's always gonna be that tier from then on.

Same game, but different every time. Ingenious, and yes I'll be buying it

This man is a legend, i had severe depression a few years back and watching asmon has made me better. Thanks zack!

Asmon's thought line: Faster movement makes me faster but I'm just going to leave auto attack on. It will make me faster! Me: that's not how it works!!!! It makes your movement faster but your attack still heavily slows you. You don't go faster!!!! Love watching asmongold play but that really frustrates me with him.

The reason everyone was telling you to turn off auto-attack for the Warrior girl is because whenever she attacks it slows down her movement speed.

Just fun to hear your game commentary--feel as tho in game with you. Cheers!

i started having way more fun when i turned off auto attack and realized i moved faster 😂😂

Dude spent more time in deciding skills than fighting

Love how he complains about health, and barriers, and walks right into mobs non stop, and ignores barrier upgrades every time. XD

I knew it was just a matter of time till he played it. It's an amazing game, a bit way too random on the powers and gods pool per run but I still love it.

I randomly bought this a little while ago and it is probably the best game of this style I have played. I like how you can manually attack when you want to move faster. And the gear system is great.

Turn off auto attack, you actually move faster and its beneficial for dodging attacks

The time god is meta. Also, what you 100% need is to turn off the auto attack unless you're fighting those oozes.

Pro tips, if you want to become better at this game: 1. Summer is fucking garbage, skip her as much, as possible. If you don’t have alterations, just ban all three skills when you first see a god you don’t like, usually it removes them completely, tho, you still might get screwed and get it offered again with like one option 2. Time + Mort is possibly one of the strongest duos, especially if you spec into summons or exp gain, it’s INCREDIBLY synergystic. Soulstealers + Mayhem + Summoner = infinite damage. Avoid Vortex at all costs, tho, it’s terrible 3. Try to complete hero challenges asap, but remember, that you can choose only one special perk at a bonfire. Some of perks are absolutely busted, for example Skadi’s +1 random ability level every two levels

i think compared to all the vampire surivor types games, this is the only one that seems to be even better than the vampire surivors

always baffles me how asmon always ingoring Force lmao, one of the best upgrades in the game lol Never change asmon.

"Damn why isn't scaling my attack damage doing anything?" with no weapon

I picked this game up a couple days ago as well. The only current issues i have with it is that some skills might as well be useless compared to others, and theres an uneven balance of melee/ranged characters. Both of these are things that im sure they'll address very soon, so its othetwise an awesome game.

Never played this game. But this give me nostalgia how games used to be when I was kid

"I'm about to turn my life around, just not yet." Been saying that shit for years.

Try to get mayhem + deadly strikes With that you kill enemys with curse so your mayhem can stack. with each kill from curse you deal more dmg. Sorry if my english is bad 😅

This is what you should be doing instead of reaction videos lol. This was hella fun to watch

Death Must Die is a roguelite RPG bullet heaven in which you play as the heroes trying to defeat Death.

Man stays dashing right into the middle of mobs and wonders why he keeps dying.

your buggest mistake is getting a bunch of stuff that isnt compatible with other perks. like you'll get combust but no attacks that light enemies on fire. gotta get upgrades that collaborate with other upgrades

Thank you for showing me this game, I decided to giving it a try after watching your videos. Absolutely love it!

I got this game after watching the first video. I love seeing the game look at Asmon and say "How can we help you win today?!" On his boon RNG. Meanwhile when I play I get Winter, winter, winter, winter, winter, winter, and more winter. I hate the ice moves but it seriously hard locks me into her boons when I play. Oh well at least I can watch Asmon play it since it screws me over.

this man has passed flare, easily one of the BEST spells in the game, more than 100 times just in the youtube cuts.

This sure looks like vampire survivors had a baby with hades.

Death Must Die is this game, for a second I thought it's Halls of Torment if you've been watching Kripparian, it looks so similar.

I bought this game after he played it. Now I'm 12hrs straight into it

So it's Halls of Torment and Hades

It's never worth it to take the exp boosters in these games btw. The exp curves are basically such that you will reach a certain level at roughly the same time every run, and the levels *after* that get massively harder to attain, such that +100% exp might only get you one or two levels. So you're not actually gaining anything. Just take more fun stuff instead. Mo idea why Devs insist on adding +exp when they design the games in these manner. Also, the more things you kill, the more enemies that spawn for you to kill and drop exp anyway. Doing more damage is always better than +exp.

After many years, along comes an rpg which is actually fun and well done. Just like games were supposed to be. The guys who made this are real artists.

This game was worth the 9$ I payed! Thank you for a fair price and amazing content Devs!

couple of pro tips for those of you that are gonna check it out; you can use frozen treasure from the winter god to get a loot multiplier on bosses, dracula spawns 3 mythics ive had him spawn up to 11 :p you cant take in extra items to hotswap into to change around your bonuses, but you CAN hotswap gear you find on the run, use all your banish dice? equip that shit amulet u found that gives +2 banish, use the banishes then switch back :p wisdom is 100% useless, you will spend more level upgrades getting the wisdom than you will gain from it with no modifiers you can hit lvl 30 by the end boss with fully maxxed wisdom (takes 5 levels if you start at common) (+70% xp gain) gear bonuses (totaling +30% xp gain) and the world buff that grants +111% xp gain AND the optimal xp loadout (gem high, force and warped strike from time, soulstealers and execution from death) you can hit a whopping lvl 42 (with no wisdom u can still hit 40 with the other bonuses) youre better off looking for gear with xp bonuses and spending the 5 levels you would have spent on wisdom on actual levels

Dude turned into a beyblade, with the chains of war. 18:57

i love this game alot man thanks for showing us the game!!

Hell yes, hope this game gets the recognition it deserves

saurfang used cleave, it was super effective

I'm happy he's playing Death Must Die now a lot of others will play Hopefully we get a Bullet Heaven? game with evil creatures instead as the main playable cast and it leans similarly like how Holocure has character builds on top of item builds

I bought this game after watching his first playthough and cant put it down. Just need to finish 2 more achievements ♥️

Great stream. Super fun to watch, this game.

This feels like if Hades and Vampire Survivor had a baby

Hades + Vampire Survivors + Diablo? Count me in.

Do more of this please ❤

This game is... inspiring. Vampire survivors was impressive for how much fun it was despite its simple concept, Death must Die is impressive for pushing the concept to the next level.

Dude left like 50% of exp on the ground

Compared to halls of torment, it's not as complete, but imo much more fun

EVERYONE, PLEASE USE EXTREME CAUTION: just WATCH Asmon play this game. If you purchase this super-affordable extremely fun addictive game, it will eat your entire life. So satisfying, especially as you unlock the characters and figure out the best builds, re-rolls and alterations, etc... I want my weekend back.

Mom can we get Torghast? No we have Torghast at home. Torghast at home:

I feel like these games are taking a step backwards from where Vampire Survivors has gone. The whole affinity item and Gacha system is what makes VS really addictive these games are just VS/Diablo hybrids

3:30 Fenix is that you?

RU-vid thinks this is path of exile.

I like how youtube thinks this is path of exile.

"if you are able to understand numbers in games you will pop off" - Does not equip items - Does not reroll - Frequently picks shit perks - Doesnt even understand the difference between additive and multiplicative damage increases..

Icons above helm makes your life so much easier (switching between equipped gear of other characters). It took me a while to notice them.

45:56 you choose 0.9 a sec xp skill over less 24% shields on mobs. xD

Old school runescape 2024 is gonna be insane. It's probably the best year in the history of the game.

the build of the orc was almost perfect, all you need was knock back, than you could get then out of you and would give you time to kill even with the shields, the chains was the right decision but the damage was to much, if you had change 3 choices for knockback you would not have died there.

Bro had a army of summoned skeletons and ran away from them to fight by himself lmao
