Summary

Killer is Dead is an action game that is not a follow-up to Killer7 or the No More Heroes series by the same creators, but it includes similar aspects like intense combat, a protagonist who primarily uses a katana, assassins as a central theme, and a cel-shaded art style. The game is split into 12 episodes set in various global locations and features Mondo Zap as the main character. He is a hired killer employed by the Bryan Execution Firm. The story takes place in a futuristic setting where Mondo is tasked with eliminating cyborgs and other assassins. Before each mission, a short briefing is displayed on a world map, and between battles, animated cutscenes help advance the plot. Finishing a primary mission typically unlocks multiple side quests.
