Death end re;Quest takes the classic turn-based RPG and flips it upside-down. Switch between the RPG action of the game world and the visual novel segments of the real world. In the realm of game development, it may seem all fun and games until the lines between fantasy and reality begin to blur.

The value story

November 2022 is where it bottomed out, at $4.49. Its cuts run 70 percent off as a rule. There have been 44 in the 7 years tracked, about 8 weeks apart.

Value puts it in the top 27 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 95 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 62 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth ($69.99, scores 67) beats it on value, while it beats Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty ($39.99, scores 1).

Steam's global achievement data puts about 13 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On a 24.7-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. This site sampled 450 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 2 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to July 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 56 percent of the 183 reviews written there were positive, against 76 percent overall, and those are 18 percent of everything written about it.

Deck Verified, so no launch options and no controller remapping before it runs.

What players say

Good game. Its sad and funny. Good combat. Like others have said its a visual novel and a fighting game. The mechanics are cool. If you are getting countered its because the enemy isnt weak to your attack. Im the type of person who falls asleep with visual novels. This game held my attention. Pretty good story tldr: this shi tight

I almost dropped the game due to the poor UX/UI elements and the fact not every line is dubed, these are terrible things about this game, but everything else is very cool! the combat mix a turn-based tactics rpg with pool lol, super fun, and the story is amazing too, bouth the sequel and I'm curious about the next game!

Death End re;Quest was my first IDFactory game, and I loved every second of it. There are definitely some odd parts to this dark and twisted Occult world but that's what makes Death End re;Quest, Death End re;Quest. I bought the games on steam to play them all as I only had the first game on Playstation and didnt get a chance to beat it fully so I plan on beating it on here. In short, this game will definitely...
