Killer is Dead - Nightmare Edition

Decent gameplay, Okay story, Amazing sountrack but SO MUCH FAN SERVICE. other than that its worth it on a sale

Simple and enjoyable combat, fast and convenient movement, blood splatters everywhere, the main character with a cool name Mondo Zappa and beautiful women nearby. What else do you need?

The tone is cool, the story nonsensical, and the gameplay mediocre. It might be worth it on a deep sale, but why waste your time?

My eyes are burning, my hands are sore, and I’m on the verge of losing my mind. That pretty much sums up the game.

Fantastic game. I came back to this after years to play on steam deck. You do have to do a few things to get it working, but its worth it. After seeing all of the older reviews on metacritic that complain about the objectifying women thing, it makes me like it even more.

- Its like an anime
- The visuals are fantastic
- Mondo is a bad ass
- They dont make them raw like this anymore

*the crashes can be fixed with ini changes, just dont be a lazy consumer. This is an older game.

Oh I'm killing it OH I'm killing it !!!

It's truly unfortunate people were or are having issues running the game, picked this up on sale for 2 bucks. Game runs just fine now it seems and using lossless scaling makes it play past 60 fps perfectly. Combat is insane and so far the story is very Suda51 so far. If you love NMH I say its a steal right now

I've tried multiple workarounds to make this game playable on my PC, but every time I fix an issue another arises. Game crashes constantly. If your frame rate is not 30- crash. I had another issue were the audio caused the game to run out of usable memory??? You may be able to trouble-shoot everything, but I will not be able to proceed any further. This game should not be for sale in its current state.

This PC port is horrible and it is beyond saving. Crashes all the time, audio messes up and just has extremely loud high pitch squealing.

Original and unique , one of a kind cel-shaded slash em up with great art direction, swordplay ,gun-play, puzzles and boss battles. Don't overlook this one its unmissable. If you like Killer 7 and No More Heroes this is its prequel.

This game is super cool, the gameplay is really nice and simple, and visually, it's rad. Horrendous port crashes every time I sneeze 0/10 port 8/10 game, can't even get to level 7 without crashing.

Still CAN NOT PLAY PAST TUTORIAL always crashes crashes crashes - i wanted to play this game so much, SUDA51 is an artist in the purest sense. but i won't get that chance, apparently. fix your game, loads of people are dealing w this.

Great game, only if i could've played more. It won't let me because of the crashes (I tried to tweak the fps cap a bit, but if you're okay with 30 then go for it)

Игра прикольная, чувствуется дух грассхоперов, но нет 2к разрешения или 4к, это отстой.

Game crashes constantly can't get through first stage on latest version even with fixes worked for me better awhile back.

Game runs really bad, unplayable

Such a bizzare and vulgar game by SUDA51, yet I enjoyed it. The only thing this game lacks is vertical gameplay, but that's just my opinion.

had this in my back log for few years and finally had the time to sit down and play it and all i gotta say is the camera sucks but everything is so cool the story kinda hard to understand in the first half but i started to understand by the 4th mission. combo is pretty good and flashy need less to say cop when on sale and also, very short game beat it in one sitting final boss was alright

Fire

Stylish action game by SUDA51 with cool protagonist, hot babes and absolute schizo-kino story? Sign me in.

good game , bad port

9/10 Good game.

Stylish and fun to play, don't take it too seriously and you will have a very good time.

Game still crashes even after applying fixes. Really unfortunate, love this game.

Honestly one of the worst, if not the worst, suda51 title. Story is incoherent and uninteresting, gameplay is just plain boring, port is beans with considerable bugs, episode 5 might be the worst level in any game i've ever played. Not even worth on sale tbh

Awful game.
Awful story, awful graphics, awful combat.

But worst of all is this awful mess of a port. Game crashes randomly on the cutscene after some bosses. There's a fix to be found on the internet, but it messes up the audio instead.

Avoid.

sooooo baddddddd

6/10

this is a gooner game but its okay beacause im a girl :3

for fansof: david lynch, cronenberg, and general schizophrenia

Buyer beware on this recommendation. By default this game runs at 1080p, 30 fps max. It is possible to exceed these limits by making some simple changes to text files in the game directory, but doing so comes with caveats. See the PC Gaming Wiki page for this game for details. I was able to play through it well enough at 1440p, 90fps and didn't encounter anything game breaking. It looked and played amazingly at these settings.

Technical issues aside, I really enjoyed this game. Killer 7 is one of my favorite games of all time, but I did not like No More Heroes. This game feels like a compromise between the two, offering a lot of that Killer 7 style and flare with tighter action gameplay and a more concise design than No More Heroes. I cannot state enough how much I love the unique weirdness of Grasshopper's artwork and this game has a ton of it.

I played on Hard which was just about perfect. Not too easy and not too frustrating. The game's length and progression are limited with a small list of upgradable character attributes, but overall this is probably a positive thing because it keeps the game from overstaying its welcome.

cannot even play the game without crashing

Absolutely abysmal port. Frequent crashes and bugs. Save your money.

it's a pretty good game and I'll probably reinstall it for the side content later

underrated

It's a vibe.

what

If you liked No More Heroes I can confidently say you will like this too.

Who wouldn't love a Dating Sim, Hack & Slash with an amazing art style

A nice artist and fun hack' n-slash game. But suffers from terrible port syndrome.

A game for all the Gentlemen out there looking to brush up on going on a date. Great training material, demon killer during the day and a pu55y killer by night (that is if you can keep up with the cost of the gifts for the international beauties). No gift no pu55y, probably the most realistic part about this game.

Only gripe I have with this game is that after the consummation scenes they squandered the perfect opportunity to have Mondo say "Pu55y is Dead".

ALSO I WANT MY KISS MOON RIVERRRRRR ! I KILLED HIM FOR YOU !

Great gameplay, giggolo missions suck and you only need to do one to unlock the drill and that's it. Can't recommend this version, because of how often it crashes.

Played it on x360, this version too. Everything was fine, no critical bugs etc. Love the game, gameplay, characters. One of my favs.

I'd say it's a 10/10 for me. Perfectly absurd story loving it so far.
You just need to change the entry in KidEngine.ini file then the crashes should be fixed.

fun cheesy experience worth getting on sale :D

Enjoyed No More Heroes but hated this one. S**t writing, boring and janky

Fck Btchs get money the game

This game is fun, stylish and unique! If only I could play without it crashing

i only hit 10h because i afked for like 3h as i ran some errands. aimless and confusing story, and the combat is painfully grasshopper: mashing the primary attack button and only dodging when an enemy is about to swing. if youre interested, get it on a MASSIVE sale, otherwise skip.

Anime mafia

Genuinely the most broken PC port I've ever played, and I played Kane & Lynch 2. Second stage has a reliable crash at a specific point in an early cutscene that I had to look up a solution to on Reddit that involved directly editing the game's run files. I somehow managed to accomplish this, but in the following stage, entering a room started playing an ear-piercing sound effect that was blasted directly into my headphones at max volume and proceeded to never go away. A quick google reveals that people are receiving a consistent crash in the 3rd stage on any cpu that uses a multi-core processor.

tl;dr- I'm legitimately shocked this can be legally sold, the game seems neat but the port itself feels practically non-functional if these crashes are this consistent.
