Kinda glad I never played it after seeing this
The game's got an interesting style, but I can't see what would be so compelling about its gameplay - especially not with a business model like that.
I haven't played it and probably never will, but it's a shame such great aesthetics, music, character design, and everything else that makes this game so enticing is wasted on a f2p mindless grind. I love suda and grasshopper and I really wanted to like this game but I don't want to come out of the experience hating it.
in fairness, it is a novel take on the pay to win business model. god knows how many quarters I've crammed into house of the dead and street fighter machines without second thought and this game capitalizes on that, but unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on whether you're the publisher or the consumer) that mentality just doesn't exist like that on the home market.
Granted I haven't played the game so I'm not sure how bad some of the things he complained about really are, but the only thing that really turned me off was the haters thing.

The haters are actually a pretty fun mechanic to begin with. But then again most of what the game has to offer is fun to begin with.
Glad I stopped playing before I got far enough that I started to hate it.
that'd be kinda genius if the intense late game grind was an intentional thematic choice as opposed to just a business choice
I really enjoyed what I played of Let it Die but I can totally see how it'd go in the direction he talked about. I think it's worth it to try at least, cuz as he said you do get quite a bit of fun without having to pay, but you definitely should leave it sooner rather than later

it's kinda scummy when they're actually getting people to spend loads of money on it though
I never really felt a paywall when I played. But the grind for certain drops is seriously absurd. Even for someone whose played a lot of Monster Hunter and enjoys Korean MMO grinds.
The Haters showing up everytime making grinding a pain to do combined with AI perfect combos and frame made me stop enjoying the game.
I wouldn't mind grinding all day but adding another risk just for doing it plus how heavy and way more punishing is... too frustrating.
And i love this game's atmosphere, music and such
my only gripe with the game is less about the paywall and more about the absurd amount of boss grinding you have to do late-game
i stopped playing once i got to floor 34-35 or so because trying to progress meant i needed to grind out for 5-6 hours for materials/bosses. paying for shit doesn't even help really, except maybe the express pass. you get enough death metals through the free events.
I stopped playing the game the moment I stopped having fun with it, which was shortly after the first don, before any real grind walls, but i could feel them coming.
I still pop into it every now and again though just to play around with the magnum though
I love this game, and i agree with everything he says, the exception is i enjoy the absurd rng grind this game has and its insane difficulty spike every 10 floors.
I didn't spend any money on it yet for just the sole purpose of beating it without paying anything but i want to give the developers some cash for it when i do.

For me, my love-hate relationship with the game started after the 20th floor.
At that point nearly every recipe starts requiring green or black metals to upgrade, which requires you to kill specific bosses or search for gold cases. And those gold cases aren't even guaranteed to drop said metals.
The colored metals are also manufacturer specific; just came back from a trip and want to upgrade a weapon? Too bad, that DOD Green metal isn't compatible. You'll need to go back to the grinding board until you get a War Ensemble Green.
I thought it was interesting but Idk if it offered anything really in depth like the arcade games its emulating its model from. I kinda lost interest 5 hours in.
