Death End re;Quest: Code Z is a fun and difficult roguelike dungeon crawler that rewards you for finding the Death Ends. It does have its flaws in execution, but it is a fun core to flesh out.

Compile Heart’s dip into testing the waters with a roguelike isn’t perfect, but it winds up being a fun diversion for fans of the franchise. Given Death end re;Quest: Code Z will tie into the upcoming third main game in the franchise, this is one spin-off not to skip.

Death end re;Quest: Code Z is a mix of visual novel and mystery dungeon roguelike, with an intriguing story and plenty of horror.

Death end re;Quest Code Z is a game that had me constantly questioning who it was for. As a fan of the series, I wasn’t particularly interested in a mystery dungeon roguelike and found myself barely engaging with the combat. I also don’t see mystery dungeon fans being starved enough to pick up Code Z. If they were to stumble across the game, I can’t imagine they’d stick with it due to impenetrable story that is little more than a “What If?” scenario laden with references, hints, and nods galore. As a Death end re;Quest game, Code Z offers the bare minimum of what I expect from the series. While it may not have the lows of its predecessors, it also lacks the emotional highs and rewarding gameplay elements. As Death end re;Quest 3 has been in development for a while now, Code Z serves as little more than a detour. While not particularly bad by any means, Code Z is simply the least interesting entry.

Death end re;quest: Code Z is such a frustrating game to review. I loved the mysterious narrative, dark tone, grotesque art, and beautiful music. But I didn’t like the grid-based procedurally-generated dungeon crawling. The hub map was also a missed opportunity to create a space that would’ve made Death end re;quest: Code Z feel more like world, and less like a series of scenes and menus. I wouldn’t recommend the game to typical JRPG fans. It’d even be a tough sell for fans of roguelikes, because those elements feel so tacked-on. Visual novel fans will likely really enjoy the narrative though, and fans of dungeon crawlers might appreciate how unique the game is. I think the game needed more work in preproduction to tie the combat, roguelike elements, and hub world sections together in more meaningful ways.
