No, please, game should give you challenge, but permadeath is just gimmick of bad game design, or for rouge like games, period.

This War of Mine has perma death and it is one of the best stragety game i have played. Many trials and errors but it was worth it.

I was convinced by Rimworld that permadeath is best. Also I distinctly remember my first Terraria hardcore run. I was doing good but then the furry zoologist porn NPC spawned and I wanted to kill xem with a boulder and accidentally killed myself

CK2 Ironman mode makes Empire building way more fun and a nice storytelling mode.

Very fun to lose sometimes, it makes for some very cool stories.

And don't forget how most of classic strategy games like Age of Empires are permadeath. If you lose, the game ends. No checkpoint, no progression saving, you start over again from scratch. It is a much more sincere game design than Soulslop in my opinion, doesn't rely on the dumb git gud meme to impress the retards, doesn't condition players into a midwit coward. You either play the game like a chad, or you don't play it at all.

I've been playing ja2 1.13 with permadeath lately and I found myself buying grenade belts, dropping all my money on supressors and planning out my routes instead of rushing the negroids and quickloading when my mercs get hit. Permadeath cures savescumming and you should try it.

For my playthrough, i gained paranoid trait, decided to shutdown the gate into the kingdom. Died as a cannibal king with no heir. Fun stuff.
