Game review – Life Goes On: Done to Death is a killer title
It’s not about staying alive; it’s about how well you die in this fun puzzle platformer
Infinite Monkeys
4 out of 5 stars
Here’s a throwback genre we can get into. Remember Lemmings? That absurd, impossibly addictive early 1990s PC game in which you had to guide a group of creatures hell-bent on death through a puzzle environment? Yeah, that rarely happened – admit it, it was always more fun finding ways to kill the little rodents than it was to save them. Life Goes On: Done to Death taps into that same morbid fascination with virtual death and runs with it.
Its story is simple – a king is searching for a “cup of life”, and sends out an endlessly regenerating knight to attain it. Your goal isn’t just to die during your infinite crusade, but to die cleverly. Modelled heavily on the aforementioned ’90s classic, your comically bouncy, armoured knight is sent through a series of puzzle-filled environments with the cup always at its zenith.
