What players say

Players describe Deathstate as an unforgiving bullet-hell roguelike that predates and in some ways outshines Vampire Survivors. The single-stick controls and Lovecraftian atmosphere are praised, but opinions split on whether the heavy randomness and opaque secrets add replay value or frustration.
