    NeverDead is fun ,well made and something new, gamers should start taking games for wot they are an not what they want the game to be like, the demons in neverdead are alot like DMC demons like some have four legs an some with blades as head! When you get hit your body parts detach from each other with your head spinning an rolling around trying to find its torso, legs and arms. u have to roll over the body part 2 attach them all bak together so u can get back in the action. Yes most games have life bars but nerverdead you can't die as your body falls apart but you have to watch your just your head as one demon tries its hardest to hoover your head up into its pits of its stomach and if that happens to you a slider appears where you have to hit the button at the right time for the demon to spit you out, if you miss then sorry your heads staying in their for another 500 years! gameover lol. Neverdead is a good action game that is fun and the main characters are dukenukemISH , the combat is pretty good for a hack an slash/3rd person shooter.
    if you want an addictive game with a good story line and generally fun then this is the game for you.    … Expand

    It's both good and bad. Sure the characters are a little under-developed but the concept here is different and unique. Tactics and most of the enemies will repeat over and over again but I'm still enjoying it after all. IGN was a little harsh on it giving it a 3 (awful), but in my opinion this is still a game that should be at least be looked at.

    "NeverDead" not only squandering an interesting premise as transforms into a hindrance, an excuse for include challenges that test not the skill, but the player's patience.

Incidentally, the final struggles are among the most frustrating already viewed in the game. In the end, "NeverDead" is nothing more than a generic game action and shooting with esquisitões characters.… Expand

    Have you ever had very high hopes for something only for it to turn out mediocre and disappointing? That is NeverDead in a nutshell. This adventure by Rebellion Developments oozing so much originality that itâ

    The game was too short, the dialogue needs some serious work, and I feel like they could have added more features to the game in general, like an actual new game+, more types of enemies, more weapons, etc. The combat could have been expanded upon as well but it was otherwise fairly enjoyable.

    NeverDead, uff, difficult review. Ok, the game have great ideas, but the game lost much, because all this bigger ideas have bigger mistakes, the gameplay is good, but is so strange, the graphics are mmm... strange. The story is good, and the characters great. But with much problems, NeverDead is a regular game, is like a comedy-action game.

    This game was an experience. I cannot say I enjoyed it all the way throughBut it is a unique experience that is certainly worth playing once.

    The combat is an experience using the right from stick to use the Sword and using the triggers for Pistols it sounds like it could work but mostly it feels very clunky, but you get the hang of it and then you begin killing demons if they don't take    This game was an experience.

    League of this game is that you don't die which is an awesome idea the execution is so and so that we are part Is that there are these small enemies that eat your head so you get a game over but that is a very annoying mechanic because it is a quick time event and if you do it in the last part of a boss fight then if you have to start over and that is really f****** frustrating.

    The voice acting was fine enough when I realized that the main guys voice actor was jiraiya from the naruto it was truly funny and I couldn't hear it.

    The thing about this game is the Beginning is not the funnest but when you get a round halfway through which is kind of a sad thing to say but is true it gets amazingly better and more fun to play the game the boss is become better. The enemy is signed gets better the level design. Just everything in the game gets better when you get halfway through and get over the f****** sewer level.    … Expand

    Unlike most say, the game looks good, remembering a bit the "touch" of Suda51 bizarre things.

    It's a bit (read "A LOT") difficult keep all your parts in place in most battles and, for a 2012 game, you could expect something more elaborate, but still a fine game to kill some grotesque and someway "obscene" demons in a way Capcom don't let us did with it's DMC series.

    A great concept with potential, torn to pieces by bland shooting, horrid dialogue and frustrating design. Swordplay can be fun but there's little else to enjoy. [Issue#82, p.88]

    We give developer Rebellion a pat on the back for trying something original in the shooter genre, but it simply doesn't work that well. The story is dumb and so is main character Bryce. The gameplay is incredibly repetitive and gets really frustrating, really fast.

    NeverDead's heart is in the right place: committed to entertaining you, no matter the cost - even if it means losing your head a few too many times along the way. [March 2012, p.120]
