Killer is Dead Heading to PC

SUDA 51’s most recent Assassin title, Killer is Dead, is heading to PC courtesy of Deep Silver.

Titled the Killer is Dead: Nightmare Edition, the release will land on May 9th with some new content;

  • New difficulty mode called Nightmare Mode. In this mode, enemies can only be defeated using the following attacks: Adrenaline Burst, Dodge Burst, Headshots, so the gameplay requires far more skill and tactics. Players will not be able to use the Final Judgement finisher (QTE mode) to defeat enemies.
  • Smooth Operator Pack for console will be included and unlocked after Episode 3.
  • Theater Mode – Rewatch cutscenes and get extended background information on characters, helping to unravel the story after your 1st playthrough

Now, I wasn’t the biggest fan of Killer is Dead when I reviewed it back on its console release. It was alright, but as an action game it wasn’t up to Metal Gear Rising’s standard, and as a SUDA game it failed to hit the highs of Killer 7 and No More Heroes.

That said the first new tweak, the new difficulty, could go some way to tackling the monotony of conflicts if there’s a touch more thought required. Perhaps I’ll give this another investigation on the ol’ Personal Computer in May…

If writing ability was a flavour, I would be the warming embrace of apple and cinnamon - wonderfully familiar and pleasantly spiced. Ever the optimist, I spend most of my game time diligently failing at fighting games (BlazBlue and Persona 4 Arena being the preferred titles), Monster Hunter and Dark Souls. As you can surely ascertain from such preferences I'm a gamer at my most content when a title is punishing me, abusing my feeble abilities and forcing me to improve myself in order to overcome life affirming challenges. Feel free to question my opinions and such on Twitter, @Dalagonash, or find me on every gaming network available as Dalagonash.
