In video games, death is anything but final. We’ve been playing games with some form of immortality or reincarnation for decades, whether that’s gamesaves, extra men, whatever. NeverDead enforces the concept in gameplay itself. No matter what grisly mishap befalls your hero, he will not die.
Describing Konami’s new action-horror shoot ‘em up NeverDead is something of a challenge for producer and game designer Shinta Nojiri. It’s a game that might require some re-education, due to its rather unique gameplay system.
A legendary hero rises to combat a demonic plague, and while they may tear him limb from limb, he’ll pull himself together again and again in NeverDead, Konami’s next big fantasy horror title.
