"When it comes to Compile Heart, you never quite know what to expect from the developer. Their titles have run the gambit from being difficult strategy RPGs to lighter more simplistic entries that revel in their odd designs. This can include the way their writing is handled as well, ranging from breaking the fourth wall for comedy and making tons of referential jokes to trying to tell a straightforward and serious storyline, fans never quite know what to expect. This is what made the Death end re;Quest games such a shock to longtime fans when they arrived, as these even more niche RPGs seemed like the cute and fan-service filled offerings on the surface but hid a brutal layer beneath that facade. Now after two releases in the main series, the franchise returns with a spin-off in Death end re;Quest: Code Z, but is this another successful endeavor or a misstep into a deadly trap?"
The newest dark chapter in the Death end re;Quest series is here, and the stakes are just as high as fans would hope.
Death end re;quest: Code Z changes things up, as it’s now a roguelike JRPG.
Roguelike RPG Death end re;Quest Code Z will launch for PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 on May 13 in the west, publisher Idea Factory International announced. While the physical edition will be available on the same date in North America, it will not be available in Europe until June 27.
Nice. I own the first 2 on PS4 but I’ll go PS5 this time now that there is an option
