Drawn to Death 2017
Developed by The Bartlet Jones Supernatural Detective Agency, SIE San Diego Studio
- Shooter, Hack and slash/Beat 'em up, Action, Comedy
Drawn To Death is a 3rd person, multiplayer only, shooter/brawler that takes place entirely inside the pages of a high school kid's notebook. All of the game’s levels, characters, and weapons have spawned from the always creative, somewhat twisted imagination of the teenage kid. The game is super violent, over the top, and very fast but it’s also very deep and tactical.

Push SquareSammy BarkerApr 20178/10Drawn to Death's juvenile presentation belies a nuanced shooter that's frankly a breath of fresh air. The title fuses fighting games with frenetic on-foot action that feels quite unlike anything you'll ever have played before. Quality game modes and an imaginative roster of weapons are only let-down by the lingering microtransactions that have seemingly survived the title's business model change unscathed. Other than that, though, it's f*cking awesome.

EurogamerJon DentonApr 2017David Jaffe returns with an obnoxious, sketchy shooter that packs a surprising - if not entirely pleasant - punch.

ComiConverseApr 20174/5 starsThe game is easy to dismiss, as it is not a AAA title and doesn't hold bragging rights for power visuals or performance stats. However, if you stick around for just a few more minutes, unleash whatever teen angst you still have bottled up and come let loose on Drawn to Death.

Digitally DownloadedMatt SainsburyApr 20171/5 starsIt's probably just as well Sony gave this thing away for free with PSPlus memberships. It's the only hope the game has of actually keeping an audience (because it's a multiplayer-only game, it needs a large and sustained community).

IGNMichael RougeauApr 20174/10With a look this distinctive, Drawn to Death could have hit the ground running. But as a decent shooter it merely limps, thanks to a number of unfortunate design choices, a lack of options, and rampant bugs. Intricate levels, varied weapons and unique characters may have looked good on paper, but any positives Drawn to Death has get scribbled over and obscured by the constant barrage of un-funny abuse it insists on endlessly spewing in your face.
