About the Game
Killer is Dead is an action game that is no sequel to Killer7 or the No More Heroes series by the same developers, but shares elements such as violent action, a main character wielding a katana as the most prominent weapon, assassins as an important theme, and a cel shaded visual style. The game is divided into 12 episodes in locations all over the world and stars Mondo Zappa as the main character. He is a contract executioner who works for the Bryan Execution Firm. The game is set in the future and Mondo receives jobs to kill cyborgs and assassins.
Story & Setting
It is based on statistics such as his completion score, total damage bonus, rescue payment and toughness payment, total cool kills bonus, execution time or guard break payment, along with a general rating. One of these are Mika tickets, that have his assistant Mika come to rescue when Mondo dies, providing a way to continue.
Gameplay & Core Systems
It absorbs bloods filling up a meter, enhancing Mondo's fighting ability. Combos increase the attack speed and a moon slash can be performed as a powerful attack. It is also used to solve puzzles and discover hidden areas, with four functions for the arm in total. Mondo can turn it into a regular human hand to crack fingerprint codes or change it into a ranged sub weapon that shoots projectiles. Yellow moon crystals are collected to upgrade skills and health gems can level up the maximum health level.
Standout Features
- Various operations can be performed with it and these require blood absorbed from enemies.
- In the main office different types of costumes for various characters can be equipped (when unlocked) and there is a gift shop where cash can be spent on various items.
