Here are some things to think about before you start Have a Nice Death.
Even though “lite” is in the name of the roguelite game, Have a Nice Death will still push you to the limit. It’s about taking death back from the Grim Reaper’s workers, which won’t be easy because they have magical powers. Due to too much paperwork, the Grim Reaper has lost most of his power, so meetings won’t be one-sided.
The Grim Reaper is getting back into his groove, and you need to get back into yours so you can help him. Think smart, think fast, hit hard, spend, and stay healthy, or you might get sent back to your desk… again.
Experiment With All The Scythes
It’s not surprising that the Reaper uses a scythe as his main tool. This makes it your main move, which can change in different ways based on the curses you collect. You can train the Scythe in one of its five forms in the hub area before going on runs.
Once you’ve earned them all, you won’t have many chances, if any, to change the type of scythe you bring with you. Each scythe has a different mix of damage, speed, and range, and it also has its own special move. Spend some time with each one to find the one that works best for you.
Take Every Prism Opportunity
As with other roguelite games, you can collect different types of currency during runs. There are three types of them: Souls, Ingots, and Prisms. Souls, Ingots, and some monsters can be found by exploring and beating them, but Prisms are much harder to find.
Even though both Ingots and Prisms are rare, only Ingots are kept when you die. Prisms, on the other hand, are lost. Prisms are important because they can be used to make permanent upgrades to weapons, buy things in the shop, or play games of chance in the break room. Always pick a floor with a Prism icon, because you can’t miss it.
Don’t Take Elevator Shortcuts
The escape is an important part of all roguelite games. Depending on the game, shortcuts may be hard to get to, even though skilled players usually stay away from them. When you level up in Have a Nice Death, you can get Perks like special elevators that take you straight to the boss fight and let you escape a lot of dangers.
On the other hand, the Reaper needs to level up in order to improve its stats, such as health, mana, and attack power. It may seem like a lot of work, but it’s better to take the chance of getting stronger so you can go further.
Health Comes Before Mana
In the corner, the HUD shows all the most important information about the Reaper. This includes an icon that shows all of his equipped weapons and the Fury metre, as well as a white bar for life and a green bar for mana. Spells can be very useful and strong, but Death’s health should always come first. Healing isn’t easy. You have to find items that can recover health, which is hard because of how the system works.
When the Reaper gets hurt, the damage is turned into an injury, which is shown by the colour grey. If he gets hurt more, the Grey part will get smaller. Pickups and simple healing can be used to heal injuries, but stronger and rarer items are needed to fix damage that will last. Because of this, you should first try to fill up the life bar.
Follow The Checklist For Discounts
Even though the hub area of Have a Nice Death is a long office with different rooms, it has a lot of different things. The shop catalogue is in addition to the Training Area and the Perks List. You can use your Ingots between runs to open up new weapons and things that can be found in runs.
You can get a lot of Ingots pretty fast, but you’ll notice that a lot of things in the shop are very expensive, sometimes costing thousands of Ingots. What’s nice is that each one has a requirement to meet, which can cut the price of some goods by as much as 95%. Take note of what these needs are so that you can meet them on your runs and go shopping when you get back.
Don’t Buy Weapons Or Spells
Shops can be oases in the desert of roguelite runs, but because of this, they usually have high prices. In Geometry Dash Subzero, you’ll go to the shop a lot. It has a mix of things that heal, fight, and curse. Even though there is a lot to choose from, you shouldn’t waste your money on guns.
This is because weapons are popular in levels, and after each arena, there is a chance to get a new one. They can be quite expensive in the shop, so it’s better to spend that money on passive boosts and healing.
