Josh from Controller Crusade writes "Tower Defense games are all about quick decisions and avoiding damage, and Oointah’s Death By Game Show takes those concepts and creates a high speed, think on your toes style challenge. The challenges may be short and sweet, but the difficulty spike may be too relentless for some players, no matter how funny the game may be."
Death By Game Show is a wonderfully biting commentary on society and the grim implications of where our lives of ignorance may lead. Outside of that examination of our culture, Death By Game Show offers a shallow strategy/tower defense game with little variation that becomes very stale way too quickly. Even with the level editor, there is little value to be had here.
Hardcore Gamer: I’ve been lucky. Both as a critic and gamer, it had been many months since I’d played a really bad game. Bloodborne, Metal Gear, Tomb Raider, Fallout — the triple-A games just kept coming and by and large they were firing on all cylinders. The smaller games, too: Darkest Dungeon, SteamWorld Heist, they weren’t always amazing but they were all at least competent and I wondered: are the days of really bad games over?
Death By Game Show attempts to be a comedic spin on the tower defence genre... but is it any good, or is just a stale pop-culture overload?
