By Killer is thriving
This writer assessed Killer Is Dead an astonishing 12 years back, yet honestly doesn’t recall much about it. It was a Suda51 creation during a time when Lollipop Chainsaw and Shadows Of The Damned had garnered widespread attention, but we didn’t believe it reached the same heights.
“Killer Is Dead demonstrates that Suda51’s gimmick is quickly losing momentum,” we lamented.
“The game’s striking art style and catchy soundtrack will undoubtedly attract you, yet the absurd narrative and over-the-top gigolo missions will leave you feeling regretful.
“This isn’t a terrible game, it’s just an unexciting one – and we never imagined we’d express that regarding a title that involves chasing a tiger on a motorcycle.”
Nevertheless, the game has just exceeded one million sales, 12 years post-launch.
It’s probable that a significant portion of those sales came from Steam, where it frequently gets reduced, and – surprisingly – Xbox, where it’s backward compatible. Unfortunately for PS3 users, the game is not currently accessible on PS5 or PS4 at all.
