Let it Die is dying, but offering players a onetime purchase to keep it alive offline

Grasshopper Manufacture's Let It Die, a free-to-play combat-focused roguelike, is closing down its online servers this August, but it has an offer for you. A new offline version of Let it Die is being made available for purchase, which will strip out all of the live-service stuff and replace them with offline equivalents.

It's certainly one way to close down a game, and generally seems like a decent idea. Not that Let it Die is some undiscovered classic. The game sees you climbing the Tower of Barbs under instruction from Uncle Death, looting better gear and weapons as the enemy challenge increases with every floor. It's as stylish as you'd expect from a Grasshopper game, and the combat packs some real heft, but it never quite hung together for me.
