Killer Is Dead es un videojuego de género acción-aventura, Hack&Slash. Un videojuego rápido con una acción frenética, un control sencillo, un estilo visual Cel Shading, una música muy buena (Akira Yamaoka está aquí) y una trama muy rara. Tan rara es que, aunque tiene momentos que realmente despiertan mi interés, a veces no se si el juego se toma a sí mismo en serio, pero todo lo que es gameplay me ha gustado mucho, es muy divertido. Controlaremos a Mondo Zappa, un agente de una empresa que se dedica a matar criminales sobrenaturales. Como es típico del género, la mecánica principal será atacar sin descanso con el clásico contador de golpes. Iremos equipado con una katana y un brazo biónico que nos otorgará distintas habilidades y formas diferentes de ejecución, que cada una nos dará un premio distinto. Además, si esquivamos en el momento preciso, entraremos en un modo "cámara lenta" donde asestaremos golpes sin parar a nuestro objetivo. Además, algo que agradezco, tendremos un botón en nuestro mando para bloquear los golpes (esto puede parecer una tontería pero grandes juegos del género de corte japonesa como Devil May Cry o Metal Gear Rising no lo tienen) El videojuego cuenta con surtido de minijuegos que hacen la aventura mas amena, como un nivel en moto, otro disparando en una torreta o unas misiones secundarias en el que tendremos que seducir a mujeres regalándoles miradas pervertidas y cosas, desde un chicle a un perfume, y a cambio obtendremos nuevas habilidades. Asimismo, podremos comprar nuevas y mejorarlas. Un punto a destacar son los enfrentamientos contra los jefes finales de cada nivel, y el jefe final recuerda especialmente al combate contra Vergil (DMC3)
En definitiva, un juego frenético, muy divertido, con muchos detalles y referencias interesantes. Además es un videojuego de autor, por el bueno de Suda51, y estos juegos siempre tienen algo que los hace únicos y muy atractivos. Lo recomiendo mucho.

Ladies and gentlemen, Suda 51 has made the most bad ass anime game ever and it was 7+ years ago. I took a trip back to my PS3 and hack and slashed my way into some tiddies.
Essentially you're a hired assassin who takes out targets that are reaking havoc on the world at large. From trains to alice in wonderland to a bunch of extra ass enemies spread across 12 story missions. The game is quite short but as all hack n slashes go, you will be replaying the whole game at least 3 more times for the platinum.
The story is simple at first glance but it is genuinely bonkers as shit. It's some extra level wild with what it's going for and I adore it. It's awesome seeing Japanese devs just do what they want to do and not live by the regular standards of modern AA and AAA games.
It's just a laughable riot as the main character Mondo delivers the most fantastical one liners as he slashes a fucking creature in half.
Suda and the team clearly had fun in making this story and I applaud them for that.
Gameplay itself is really fun which is good for a hack n slash. You dodge and parry, combo your way to delivering a powerful one hit kill move and it just feels so damn good. It's visually stunning as you slash one enemy, combo into the next and one hit kill the third all while looking like a bad ass.
My only complaint with the gameplay is the lack of a jump button. Ariel combos would have been awesome in this game and they could have done a lot to make it work but Mondo is a very grounded character. Instead of using ariel combos, flying enemies are taken out via his machine gun arm (yup) which makes for a decent shooting experience.
Aside from combat, the most controversial gameplay element is the missions where you are on a date with one of 4 ladies (DLC adds a 4th) and you basically stare at their tiddies until a meter fills up and then you give them a gift. After finishing the mission 3 times, you essentislly watch Mondo rail all these girls.
To be honest, I hate that this was controversial. It's a fictional game but of course people bring politics and real world logic to it.
It's just hilarious if anything. I can't even view it sexual because him staring at a womens legs and tiddies to increase his guts is hilarious to me rather than horny.
Overall this game is a riot, it was clearly made with passion and a genuine sense of humour.
I do wish their was ariel combos but ultimately, this game was just fun as fuck.

Mlk, esse aqui eu dropei... Quando vi o game eu me empolguei, parecia ter um bom protagonista (e de fato é), gostei dos gráficos cel shading, pensei que ia ser um jogão. A estética dos personagens, a ambientação, na verdade o conceito do jogo em si é muito bom, mas a mecânica de combate é preguiçosa, assim como o vai e vem desnecessário só pra encher linguiça, a gameplay é chata e enjoativa. Parece que foi feito nas coxa. Nem a soundtrack é memorável. Vou dar 1 estrela por reconhecer que foi uma boa ideia, que tinha potencial para ser algo muito maior. E também por ainda ter algumas coisas que foram legais de ver, como por exemplo, a forma como sua assistente o reanima quando você morre (acho que ver isso foi mais divertido do que a própria gameplay).

Fun game with a lot of flaws to it. Core combat is pretty simple but effective and enjoyable kinda feels like weird in between of nmh 1 and 3 to me in some ways but the parts where this game annoyed me really stopped me from loving this game most bosses are terribly designed like the dream fight with the red hooded lady being gimmicky or the kaiju fight going on too long. the story isn't terrible but I wish had more development to it, especially with that weird sequel bait thing at the end. music is fantastic tho very happy a friend recommended to play the ps3 version so I can hear the licensed music especially the credits theme that went hard

overall solid enough time i think anyone who likes hack n slashers and suda games should try this one

(didn't mention gigalo mission because they arent worth going into any detail about)
