About: Available exclusively for Netflix members. Become a crow who reaps souls.
Table of Contents:
• Discover an arsenal of magic weapons including swords, hammers, bows and spells and use them to help the crow take down a series of whimsically dangerous dungeon bosses.
• Customize your crow with upgrades that increase strength, dexterity, haste and magic to shape the most efficient lil' soul reaper around.
Play as a cute, soul-reaping crow in this fantasy RPG that brings talon-sharp combat to an epic quest for the titan-sized soul that got away.
• Track down whoever stole the giant soul and uncover larger mysteries that shape the crows' world, their jobs and the nature of death itself.
When your day (and night) job is reaping the souls of the dying, the office can start to feel a little dead — except in the very rare case where a soul is stolen.
Hack and slash through mysterious magic doors, cutting down wild beasts and tyrannical bosses on the way through dungeons where death isn't working as it should.
• Meet a cast of weird and wonderful characters who might have intel on the soul thief.
It's a dead-end job, but when a thief steals your work, you set off on a sword-slashing quest to unearth death's secrets.
• Battle through colorful and quirky realms like the well-appointed Estate of the Urn Witch and the Frog King's swampy dungeon.
Problems that only a tiny, soul-reaping crow can solve.
Become a crow who reaps souls.
Or they have their own problems to worry about.
That's when things get interesting.
Which, by the way, is also a problem.

I enjoyed Death’s Door on console and had every intention of playing it on mobile, but the Netflix subscription requirement is garbage. At least offer the option for players to purchase the game outright (á la Game Pass); surely that’s better than getting no money at all, which is what I’ll be shelling out to play Death’s Door on mobile until this terrible business model offers more player options.

Performance is laggy even on an iPhone 14 Pro Max.
Also, controller support is buggy. Will not get rid of on screen controls, and all the button prompts say “none” instead of the button.
Port Needs some work, the game itself is awesome.
By Rivalsan
This game runs at sub 30 frames per second on an iPhone 14 Pro. Also the controller icons remain on screen when using a Backbone. This port needed more time in the oven.

Netflix, you wonderful buggers.
I’ve been playing this game on my Switch for the past year and a half. It is definitely my favorite indie game of all time. So when I heard that Netflix was bringing it to mobile devices I was like “UWAHH?!?!” This is the last thing I would have expected from Netflix, but BOY am I happy they did it.
This review is more about the mobile gameplay than the actual game. The game is incredible and I highly recommend it, especially if you like Zelda or Dark Souls.
Look, I’m a Switch player. I don’t play mobile games. But I just HAD to check out Death’s Door on mobile. The mobile gameplay is surprisingly smooth. I still struggle with it, but I’ll adapt eventually. This is just a me thing. The game’s performance is slick and has virtually no problems. Aaaand that’s pretty much it.
To summarize, Death’s Door is an amazing game and this mobile port is surprisingly great. Thank you Netflix, my respect for you has risen.

Netflix is killing it with these games, they have been dropping console-quality games on mobile with cloud saves that seems to work perfectly.
Death’s door is a neat little indie game, it only released on PC/console just a couple of years ago. It’s kind of souls-like/hack and slash game with an isometric perspective. It’s very fun, somewhat challenging as you progress through the game. The art direction is excellent and the sound design is quite good as well.
I was very, very pleased to see that my Razer Kishi V2 worked on my 12 Pro Max. All mobile games should support controllers, but unfortunately most do not. I am just happy this one does. There is also a graphics setting, on my iPhone and M1 iPad, there was a “balanced” mode and a “performance” mode. The balanced mode is clearly higher resolution, with performance mode looking soft and less detailed. I tested the game on a budget phone and only the performance mode was available, so some older iPhones/iPads may be the same and not support the better looking balanced mode.
I love seeing proper console games shipping on mobile with controller support AND graphics option. Keep it up Netflix!
By GhostINVINCIBLE
Absolutely loving what I’ve played so far (1hr in). It works with a backbone, just seems to freak out the button prompts. It will show “no ne” instead of the button. Not a huge deal just makes learning a little more difficult.
Very cool mood this game sets. Combat is enjoyable with controller and the world is interesting to me.

Anyone complaining about this game is an idiot since the real price is $25 for a game that’s better than 95% of $60 games, but on mobile it’s FREE there is literally no complaints for this Masterpiece that’s FREE on mobile, I would honestly pay $70 for this game thats how perfect it is. If you disagree, GET A JOB‼️😭🙏

Reminds me of the golden age of 2d Zelda presented in a modern package. Button prompts don’t display correctly for my backbone controller, but controls are intuitive enough to figure out (although not customizable). No clue how the touch experience is but I’d imagine it’d be hard. I need a plushy of the player crow now.
By moh.kw
I play the game on my iPad pro 11 inch and Of course I am play the game with controller because so hard play with touch controller because the iPad big screen
But unfortunately, the touch control does not disappear when I play on controller

Netflix going out and adding these indie games is a killer idea. Honestly making the increase to my monthly worth it if they keep adding games like this.
By mooglejoe
PLEASE! I can’t take dying from missing the button I tried to press anymore or I will go buy a pizza
By Kaijunn
Never played it on console. Works great on my 13 pro max. No issues at all. Would be nice if I could play it on apple tv with a controller. If you like rogue like action games this is a hit!
By Ziximon
ITS SO COOL!!! Also the first boss was so tough but I finally beat it!!!!! Also could you give me a hint on beating the part in the lost cemetery where the enemies are coming out of the portal door thingys?
By Webslinga
Liking the game so far, but it needs full controller support.
By dagands
This game hits every criteria, amazing graphics,amazing visuals,the story,npcs,and bosses I love this game I recommend it if you like Legend of Zelda
By Nicholas Rittenour
This is probably the best game Ive have ever played
By Hman93
The game looks amazing and gameplay can be fun, but the game hitches and stutters every few seconds on 14 Pro Max. It’s in desperate need of a patch.
By Livingfortodat
Boring directionless hack and slash
By Triptweeze
It’s a beautiful game. Good gameplay, excellent art direction etc. my only issue is I keep getting kicked out and have to log back into my Netflix account to resume playing, which is a shame, because this game is great.
By aurelia1222
i love this game, it's super fun and the concept is great. the only thing is that i cannot exit the inventory/weapons/setting menu. i do not think the X works?
By Grimm8326
The virtual joystick is the worst I have ever seen in a mobile game, it’s too small and I find myself not moving because I’m a hairs width from the tiny joystick. At least add the option to change the size. Or add controller support.
By JustKidding1117
Can’t even close my phone for 30 seconds before DeathsDoor resets for some reason. Lost a good chunk of progress because of that and now I lost all want to play the game
By Matt Fletcher
Love this game. Only thing missing is support for the backbone game library
By Dylan9265
Really fun game. 10/10 world birb again.
By OOhdjdjfjeur
It’s an absolutely amazing game only problem is every time I try to fight the final boss he ends up going through the floor or over the edge of the map 1/10 times it isn’t the worst it’s just slightly annoying
By FlightlessCupid
The graphics, the brilliant music, it’s all fantastic.
I’ve been playing for days. I like going back once you get a new ability and finding all the hidden areas and items.
Really captivating.
By Brandon.Irwin
Really great! Btw, you can change the positions of the controls and menu button using the gear icon in the menu, then select reposition controls.
By Greybrick
I expected the game to pair well with a 13 pro max and backbone controller (PlayStation model) but the framerate keeps lurching downward and none of the button prompts display properly (they all say “NONE”) - fix these things and I’ll give the game another go!
By BrehIdklol
I would put five stars but I didn’t so this could get some attention (hopefully)
This is a great game, the only problem I’m having is that whenever running, I’ll accidentally drag my finger over the menu button. This happens a lot, so it’s kinda annoying
Great game!
By voiceofthebigjb
As mentioned by others, the game randomly boots me out to the Netflix login screen. It’s incredibly annoying. The gameplay is incredible when not being interrupted.
By Szei
Gameplay is amazing, but even on an iPhone 14 Pro Max with the low graphic setting (Performance), the framerate is not smooth. It’s decent enough to play the game, but it’s bad enough that I notice it often.
By anecbs
I just grabbed Death's Door for use with a Backbone One 2nd gen controller on my iPhone 15 Pro and old 11" iPad Pro. When using the Backbone controller with this game, the button labels for all controller within the game show up as "NONE" as if the game has no idea what controller is in use; however, the controller seems to work regardless (although I have no idea what buttons are for what since I've never played this one before). This seems specific to this game + the Backbone One controller because a) I've not seen this behavior with the Backbone in other games and b) the button labels show up properly in Death's Door when using other controllers, e.g. an Xbox controller. Please do the needful here and fix this. :). Cheers.

The game is good, but my complaint is the saving for the final boss. There might as well not be a save spot because you could die at the final gauntlet and get sent back to the first, which is really annoying.
Really, the whole saving mechanism is faulty throughout the game. I legit had to replay the ENTIRE game 4-5 times with different percentages because of the game crashing/and having to sign in repeatedly (never missed payment btw) .
By ThoughtMonger
The game was so amazing. And I wish there were more. When you guys make the next one. Will you plz let me know.
The game’s puzzle and story line made my 48 hours a bliss. This game is amazing and should be awarded for their creativity and hardwork.
Cheers to Team Acid Nerve 🍻 🥳🍾🎊🎉

I’ve gotten about a quarter of the way through every time I start and then when the game crashes or if my phone dies it loses all data.
It’s super fun up until that happens and you have to restart.
By Grove Mountain
It’s like old skool Zelda had a baby with Hollow Knight. The game setup is more Zelda-like, but the setting reminds me a lot of Hollow Knight with the music and graphical style. My biggest complaint is the game regularly crashes. And then I need to log back into Netflix every time to play. Not a huge deal, but it’s super clunky. Netflix, cache credentials for a period of time. Geez, what year is it?
By theselfproclaimednerd
Looks like a beautiful game, from the little I played.
Had trouble getting it to open. After uninstalling and reinstalling, it opened, but the button prompts are broken if you’re playing with a controller. It just lists “none” for every button prompt.
I’ll try playing it again after the bugs are fixed.
By Kid Heretic
I’m going to chalk this up to being on an iPhone SE, but this has some of the worst touch controls ever. It constantly goes in the wrong direction causing me to die or completely miss. Using a backbone controller has been the only way to enjoy the game, but it limits when I can play it. At least give us the option to increase the control sizes in accessibility.
