Near-death experience.

Death's Gambit is now available DRM-free on GOG.com.

In the decaying land of Siradon, if you want to beat Death, you must first become him. Customize your condemned champion by picking your class, build, and weapons, but make sure your skills are as sharp as your scythe. The cursed creatures and hulking bosses that roam this land will show you no mercy and to achieve immortality you must become a master of your craft, as ruthless and effective as the one you serve.
Hmmm is this premature???

DEATH WAITS FOR NO MAN!

;)
I wonder why this release time. It's 9pm-midnight here the USA where Adult Swim is located; what about the devs, White Rabbit?
WTF release in early morning, really. This has to be the first i've experienced this kind of release time.

I wonder if I should expect a tv spot for this on adult swim right now...
Someone was up early this morning.
Only played for about an hour, mostly just messing around in the first level getting a feel for movement and combat, but I'm liking it so far. Some of the button choices seem odd at first, but nothing too egregious.

No sound in fullscreen at the default resolution - that's a common Windows 10 problem that Microsoft won't fix. But no sound when I set the resolution to match my desktop either, which is odd. Playing in windowed mode does have sound, so that's what I'm doing for now.
This one seems just my kind of game.

Meaning this is yet another one of those cases where the dev chooses the key assignment for you? With no way to remap anything?

No, you can change the button mapping. I'm playing with the default configuration, but I might alter the scheme after I've learned all of the mechanics (or if after more play I feel something is poorly mapped). I usually give the game designers' mapping a fair shake before changing it.

A proper mix of dark souls/castlevania/Chakan the forever man with re-bindable keys/buttons and NO fuckin' perma-death?

Sign me the fuck up! Wishlisted due to dead wallet...
Took down Ione first try (barely), then got the Blood Aura, but that golden knight killed me. Haven't tried Owlking yet... I want to know what that knight is guarding! Gotta call it for the day - need some sleep. ;)
Presing F12 gives me black screenshot, otherwise, game is nice.
