Dec. 2024

I'd say it's a 10/10 for me. Perfectly absurd story loving it so far. You just need to change the entry in KidEngine.ini file then the crashes should be fixed.

Gorgeous game. Crazy story with great humor and even depth, if you can see through all the stereotype virtuosity. Brilliant bosses. Superb production design. Tight, challenging, rewarding and fair gameplay with enough distractions from the perfectly executed hack and slash to never get boring. Unbelievably fantastic art style. Every still could be blown up as a wall sized piece of art. I love it.

Sept. 2024

I played this in the Steam Deck, had to edit the engine.ini and then run it with proton experimental to stop it from crashing every 20 minutes. Technical issues issues aside, a absolutely loved this game. The combat was really cool and I like Suda51's work in general.

March 2024

Really awesome game, the story and visual are so strange but it grew on me as I played. I definitely recommend this if you are a fan of DMC style combat. It ran great on my steamdeck but you do have to make some adjustments to get it working without crashing. Once I made these three changes below the game ran flawlessly from beginning to end. Compatibility: Proton Experimental https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Killer_Is_Dead#Issues_fixed Use the 60FPS fix Use Method 3: KidEngine.ini Fix to prevent crashing

Feb. 2024

Mixed about the story, but it has some of the best hack 'n' slash gameplay Grasshopper has put out. The port kinda sucks since it's locked to 30 FPS without making changes to configuration files. A guide should be pinned/featured in the game's respective tab.
