NeverDead

 (8 customer reviews)

I had been looking forward to Neverdead since it was first announced back in 2010. The premise of a wise-cracking 500 year old immortal who could crumble to pieces and reassemble himself, seemed like it could be fun. I was a fan of UK developer Rebellion's Alien vs. Predator games and with Konami publishing, I had high hopes. In 2011, they announced one of my favorite bands, Megadeth, would be including music in the title and the new trailer showed a bit of the main character, Bryce's backstory. Sadly, that backstory is cut into pieces in the final game and anyone who has seen that trailer knows the history that is teased a tiny bit after each level.

The final game has a few moments of brilliance mixed in with ultimately frustrating and unrealized gameplay. All the weapons Bryce seems to use, from handguns, machine pistols, assault rifle's, to his trusty sword, seem pretty unpowered. The damage factor could use some upping in my humble opinion since each "standard"...Read more

NeverDead is a curious beast. One of the main attractions of the game is the (hilarious in a good way) immortal nature of the main character. You can never die. Your limbs will be (frequently) dismembered, which lead in to you having to track them down to put yourself back together. The only problem is this is the games most frustrating element as well. It is fun the first ten or twelve times, then it gets old... fast. It seems like for ever good thing about NeverDead, there are two things that needed improvement.
The plot for this game is simple. The player controls a wisecracking human demon hunter named Bryce, who was cursed with immortality five hundred years ago by the demon king Astaroth. Now in modern times, he hunts demons for money and revenge with a female private investigator name Arcadia in order to stop a demonic invasion that has nearly destroyed the city, which is lead by Astaroth.
The graphics for NeverDead have a comic book feel to them, which works strongly...Read more

this game had the potential to be an amazing game.......but they ruined it with complicated controls just for moving around and also they just seemed to want to confuse and annoy the player more than make it a fun game where you can actually use your limbs and head to just mess around....the game was supposed to be similar to devil may cry i thought but it turned out to be more annoying than any game ive played due to constantly being attacked and also the annoying enemies that you could almost not kill the boss fights especially the final two were just annoying and stupid instead of fun and challenging...overall do not get this game if you want to play it RENT IT you can beat it in less then a day
