What players say

Players say Brew or Die is a simple potion-crafting RPG with gardening and turn-based combat, but it launched in very early access. The lack of a tutorial and steep early difficulty frustrate some, with slimes hitting hard and inventory bugs reported. Content is thin: only two dungeon stages and not much to do after a couple of hours, though the goofy tone and debt-collector premise charm others.
