Let It Die^[a] is a free-to-playhack and slashvideo game developed by Grasshopper Manufacture and published by GungHo Online Entertainment.^[1] The game was released for the PlayStation 4 in December 2016, and in Japan in February 2017.^[2] It was released for Microsoft Windows in September 2018.^[3]

Gameplay[edit]

Under the supervision of a skateboarding grim reaper called Uncle Death, players fight through a treacherous tower, obtaining various types of weapons and armor while finding creatures and mushrooms to eat in order to stay alive.Upon death, a player’s “death data” is then circulated among other player’s games where they will appear as formidable opponents.The sharing of “death data” is one of the various asynchronous multiplayer elements that can be found in the game.

Development[edit]

Let It Die was originally known as 'Lily Bergamo'. Its initial plot focused on a female protagonist called Tae Ioroi and was set in the year 2026.^[4] The game's world drew from both Japanese and Western cultures.^[5] It was described as a 'super action game'^[6] or an 'extreme action game'.^[1] The game was supposed to feature an 'element of growth', in that by gradually accumulating experience, the player's data is updated more and more rapidly.^[1]Lily Bergamo would have featured online play and features, though details were currently still unknown.^[6]

In addition to the game, Lily Bergamo would feature a 'companion app', which would be playable on smartphones.^[1] The game would feature online play, and according to GungHo Online Entertainment’s CEO Kazuki Morishita, would allow 'both smartphone and PlayStation gamers to be in the same world”.^[5] According to Morishita, Grasshopper Manufacture 'wants to make the most out of the strengths of online play, and the idea of using smartphones to play has been a big deal”, with the goal of the app being the ability for players 'to completely rely on their smartphones to play'.^[7]

Although Lily Bergamo changed to Let It Die during the Electronic Entertainment Expo 2014, the concept of an 'extreme action game' remained. The change commenced around the end of 2013.^[8] Executive director Goichi Suda explained that the concept of death is relevant throughout the game, and that if one player dies in a game, they will appear in another player's game, making the deaths of players important in the experience of the game, hence the title. The game will have normal AI enemies and dead player characters' avatars, and will also be free-to-play. The game represents a huge departure from Suda's past video games in terms of creative philosophy.^[9]

Lily Bergamo was to be the first game to be developed by Grasshopper Manufacture after it was acquired by GungHo Online Entertainment.^[10][11] Suda stated that Lily Bergamo was conceived after GungHo CEO Kazuki Morishita expressed his desire to 'make a game that leverages the inherent flavor of both companies.”^[1] The game was revealed in April 2013,^[12] and in Sony Computer Entertainment Japan Asia's Press Conference on September 9, 2013, the release date was set to sometime in 2014.^[13] Additional information was shown at the 2013 Tokyo Game Show, including the name of the protagonist, the ability to play on smartphones and the game's setting.^[5] At the game show, a special stage event was held for Lily Bergamo, including a cosplay model dressed up as the game's protagonist Tae Ioroi, and specially-made Lily Bergamo stickers were distributed.^[14] Although the game was not playable then, Suda promised that it would be at the 2014 Tokyo Game Show instead.^[7] Yusuke Kozaki was the head of character design in Lily Bergamo,^[1] along with direction by Nobutaka Ichiki and game design by Yusuke Kozaki.^[5] A trademark for Lily Bergamo has been filed in North America, which hinted at a soon-to-be confirmed release in that region^[4] and globally.^[15]

On June 11, 2014 at the Electronic Entertainment Expo 2014, Lily Bergamo was transformed into Let It Die.^[8] GungHo Online Entertainment had trademarkedLily Bergamo in the United States, hinting at a possible global release, with the reveal of Let It Die confirming it.^[15] On October 29, 2015, GungHo Online Entertainment announced that Let It Die had been delayed, and that it would now launch in 2016 instead of its originally planned 2015 release window.^[16] On December 3, 2016, Let It Die was released for free on PlayStation Network in North America and Europe.^[17]

Let It Die featured 100 Japanese artists in the rock and metal music genres^[18] curated by Silent Hill series game music composer Akira Yamaoka, who described the work as 'one-of-a-kind musical experience'.^[19]

Reception[edit]

Let It Die received 'mixed or average' reviews, according to video game review aggregatorMetacritic.^[20] In February 2017, it was announced that the game has been downloaded over two million times.^[24] By April 2018, that number had risen to over four million.^[25] In March 2020, it was announced that the game has over six million downloads.^[26]

There’s this art installation called the. Between 2008 and 2010 conceptually-motivated artist Blake Fall-Conroy exhibited a box operated by a hand-crank, which spat out a US penny every four seconds, intended to be equivalent of working for the minimum wage in New York at the time.

I take this art piece to be about how labour can be completely disengaged from utility. At your job, you create things you don’t necessarily even consume. Marx, who had maybe one or two things to say about the role capital plays in culture, would call this “alienation”. How different, really, is turning a crank in an art gallery to lads in factories making electronics they’ll never be able to afford? To collecting cocoa beans if you’ll never get to eat a Freddo? For years I’ve wondered if a big videogame might also try to leverage this kind of financial cynicism through interactivity.I’ve been playing this week.What even are video games if not perverse, unintentional exercises in alienation?

Developers build a world in a mess and you pay for the privilege of tidying it all up. I wonder, when I have a free moment away from being very fun at parties, whether a reverse of the Minimum Wage Machine is possible. Could art challenge you based on the money you spend to experience it? Can the price tag say something by itself rather than reflecting the purpose of the game’s existence? Am I, a wanker?Let It Die might be that game. And I can’t help but argue that this game, whose mascot is an skateboarding skeleton what wears sunglasses, is as important a tool in examining the concept of value as an established and popular item of contemporary art. I think it’s exactly the game I’ve been seeking out.

Please set me free by reading this. Once I pass the curse on to you I can finally stop thinking about this entirely. It’s kind-of a dungeon-crawler, set in a twisted reimagining of the Tokyo subway system which spills upward into the sky.

The aim is to get up to the top, level by level, equipping characters with the most effective items, collecting materials, bringing them back home to make further improvements to your stuff.It’s fine? It’s good enough. I enjoy playing it in a very passive and rote way, happily retreading old ground in earlier, easier, now familiar sections.

Most of the elevator pitch doesn’t factor in the part where you actually interact with the world (it’s just lots of murdering) but is in the wrapping. Early weapons are silly improvised tools like clothing irons, guns which shoot fireworks and rotating-saw-blades-for-gloves. The most effective attacks are stealthily performed wrestling moves. Items and upgrades are sold by a lad in a space suit and levelling up is done by plugging into a giant floating brain.

There’s the aforementioned Skateboard Skeleton. I’m saying it’s got a lot of character and flavour; I’m saying it’s a game with SUDA51 in the credits.What I actually care about, for the purposes of this commision for 1000 words, is. It’s free-to-play, but a rare kind: a hack-and-slash!

I can’t even think of another one. It draws huge inspirations from mobile games, offering bonuses for returning every day, it’s covered in countdown timers you can pay real money to hurry along.

Gross.Most importantly, the difficulty curve shoots upward almost immediately. You’re going to die in the game called “Let It Die”. Helpfully, death of any character can be undone with a heap of the in-game currency (but your progress has to start from the bottom of the tower), or you can lead another vessel up to attack the reanimated corpse left behind and recover it. Or, crucially, the death can be completely negated by spending some of the paid-for currency, and you’re returned fully upright exactly where you were before. There are bosses that listen, don’t even try without having a lot of your birthday money saved up.It’s so cynical. At a point you can see through the game, right to the design document, like you’re reading the Matrix. Health items become more scarce.

Enemies do higher amounts of damage. Methods of returning back to base safely become harder to access. That’s common in video games, yes, but I just felt it. The exact moment the rug was pulled out from underneath. This is a hard videogame now.

We accept Visa and Mastercard.And it fits the tone perfectly. This is an “edgy” game that’s simply about gaining more effective ways to do murder quicker. The entire world is disgusting. Every object looks like it has gum stuck under it. Every metallic object would give you tetanus. Just walking around for five minutes here would fill your socks with stagnant water. This isn’t a nice place to be.

No one is looking after you unless there’s a financial incentive. In fact, you’re not supposed to die. That’s playing the game wrong. It’s an effective amplifier to already feeling like a failure, and now you’re expected to pay actual money. And the game isn’t even very good. It’s just OK.I love and enjoy this far more than I would if I’d just paid money up front.

I started this thing by referencing Marx and I’m now wondering if this game made me a secret Tory. I can see the upside of a predatory commercial venture. I’m personally frustrated that I even believe in what I’m typing. End my life.Not every video game should utilise this method of player-punishment, because, well, it’s not ethical. It doesn’t make the game enjoyable. It’s working here specifically because this is a videogame which otherwise wouldn’t be very interesting. And we’ve got this now.

We’ve done that one. It’s a game that’s hyper-aware of its own god-awful, reprehensible business strategy. And, as we all know, being complicit in the continuation of the sinew-crushing churn of capital is completely fine if you’re informed and, better, willful.
