Death Note: Killer Within Review - Not Enough Apples For This Shinigami

"Surprising" is a word that effectively defines both the announcement and release of Death Note: Killer Within, a multiplayer game focused on deductive reasoning with a steep learning curve that's a surprisingly clever use of the beloved franchise. Games based on popular anime and manga series typically involve more lasers and punching than Death Note. But here fans have something to play that effectively replicates some exciting mind games the franchise is known for - to some extent.
Publisher Bandai Namco and developer Grounding, Inc. seemingly waited to create a Death Note video game until the right idea came around, with the final product taking cues from runaway indie hit Among Us in a cat-and-mouse multiplayer social deduction experience.
