Dead Ink’s core gameplay is built on ideas inspired by the very popular Dark Souls but it is not part of the forgettable recent wave of titles that simply copy them. The vertical layout of the tower is a big twist with major consequences for exploration. Players need to move carefully and pay close attention to ladders and ledges that will lead to new places. Combat is all about careful dodging and strikes delivered at just the right time. The narrative is pretty limited. But I like the feeling of discovery and how the game encourages players to create mental maps and unlock shortcuts. Dead Ink should have tried to tweak the formula it’s working with a little more but it has enough unique elements to keep fans engaged.
Dead Ink is a very deliberate game where every move has to be planned with thought. However, the camera and a few design choices hold it back for me.

Summary Dead Ink is a hardcore souls-like game set at dizzying height atop a perilous vertical world. Use harvested ink from your enemies to print weapons, inventory items and your corporeal form.
