    A beautiful (aesthetically) game that leaves much to be desired on all fronts.

    The pc port provides few customization options on the options menu, which is usually excusable but another glaring issue that only compounds everything else wrong with the game. The story is forgettable, with characters that come across as either annoying or generic.

    The pc port provides few customization options on the options menu, which is usually excusable but another glaring issue that only compounds everything else wrong with the game. The story is forgettable, with characters that come across as either annoying or generic. There may have been an interesting premise to be had with the cybernetic abilities of the protagonist, but you'll find naught here.

    Gameplay is severely lacking, with controls being extremely simple and lacking much depth. Although new weapons and upgrades exist, they are locked behind what is essentially "dating sim" optional missions where you are trying to woo various female characters to then sleep with them and obtain new items. I don't much care or am offended by this portrayal of women; I only wish that the upgrades weren't locked behind a feature that feels so out of place compared to the main game.    … Expand

    Terrible, terrible, TERRIBLE port.
    The keybinds aren't redefinable. So, it's completely unplayable for me.
    Don't waste your money on this game, it's not worth it.
    When will they learn?

    The shoddiest port I've ever come across. I'm unable to get past level 3 due to some sort of autosave glitch that locks the game up, and those that do get past level 3 run into all sorts of different bugs.

    Buy it on a console instead, unless you really like pressing CTRL ALT DEL.

    Incredibly disappointing. Starts off great, but after completing Episode 3, everything starts to play like a prototype rather than an actual game.

    The Gigolo missions were funny the first time but you actually need to do this pointless crap to get stuff to help you in the actual game. The story never goes anywhere. Most episodes don't even contribute anything to a central plot,    Incredibly disappointing.

    The Gigolo missions were funny the first time but you actually need to do this pointless crap to get stuff to help you in the actual game.

    The story never goes anywhere. Most episodes don't even contribute anything to a central plot, they're just one-off nothings. But they have those long drawn out pan scenes and lengthy breaks between every spoken *line* of dialogue to add emphasis to the absolute nothing it's delivering.

    It also doesn't actually go beyond 1280x720 regardless of what you set it to in the menus, unless you go to the ini and directly edit the resolution there. Game is also capped at 30fps unless you make an ini edit as well, capping at 60fps the game worked fine for me aside from one Gigolo mission that would always hang (the one with the Japanese girl), basically they could've easily worked in the 60fps option and fixed this one issue and had a proper PC port.

    The game is constantly interrupting the hack-n-slash action to show off how "cool" it is. Almost every time enemies spawn, the game will take control away from you to zoom in on the enemy to show you they're there (because you're too stupid to figure it out apparently) and spend five seconds having them do a taunt animation.

    The camera is garbage and needs a lock-on system. It isn't uncommon to have your vision obscured by an art piece, or be fighting something when another enemy jumps in from off-screen to smack you in the back and break your combo. Needs a wider camera like the DMC series. You cannot plan much of anything.

    Dodging also does not immediately break attack animations (unlike Dark Souls) so if you hit a button you're committed, considering it's a button masher this is a huge handicap.

    Incredibly disappointing because I went in expecting something good because it's Suda51 but nothing ever gets delivered.    … Expand

    Чтож как говориться из-за бага с вечной загрузкой в 3ем эпизоде "НИПАИГРАТЬ", добавим к этому лаги, вылеты на катс-сценах и "очень охотное" желание разработчиков помочь всем тем кто купил сий "ЩИДЕВР"
    P.S: Баг остается спустя уже 2 месяца после выхода. К покупке на ПК порекомендовать не могу, а вот на консоли бага нету(играть даже возможно, инновации). 0 из 10 мертвых убийц.

    Killer is Dead Nightmare Edition is definitely up there with one of the weirdest but fun games that I have played on the PC.

    On PC Killer is Dead reaches its best. It's a funny game with a good combat system and an original artistic aspect.
