I was hesitant to get this after the reviews, but after playing through the first level I'm not mad that I did. It is no Skyrim or batman by any means but the theme is cool and it is different than all the other games in this genre that I have played. If you liked shadows of the damned, you will like this game. If you have 60 bucks to blow, this is good filler until kingdoms of amalar comes out next week. And contrary to another reviewer....you can shoot with no legs and you can use a sword/shoot with one arm.....you can also shoot with nothing but a head and two arms, but, as to be expected in a real situation, your shots go all over the place as you have nothing to help you aim. You can also do an attack with just your head. I dunno...i like weird games that don't fall into the cookie-cutter FPS...and this was a welcome change up.

I bought Neverdead after watching the trailers and thinking it was a pretty neat concept. Most mainstream reviews hated this game, which made me worry. It's also made by Rebellion, which has a pretty sketchy past when it comes to development.

The heart and soul of this game is the dismemberment feature, be it for solving puzzles or using your limbs in different means for combat. It makes sense in a way. When you have a protagonist that can't die, you need to have some kind of challenge. I never found it old (all be it sometimes frustrating) as you blow yourself up and all your parts go flying off in various directions. This leads to a mad dash (or roll via your head) to collect your limbs or out run monsters whose sole purpose is to eat your head. The upgrade system also works well, however it takes time to really power yourself up.

All the environments are decently done and the "destructible" settings add some flare. But don't think it's anywhere as destructible as Red Faction. It simply adds another element to the game.

I will say my two biggest problems with this game are the constant need to protect your partner (you can die very easily) and the insanely fast re-spawn rate of monsters. To constant escort mission of your partner is fine, but she dies so easily. She doesn't seem to be able to hold herself in battles at all. Granted it's nowhere as bad as say Knights Contract, but like most games with an AI guardian, it could be better. With the monster re-spawn, it can be insanely fast. Especially in an area where you cannot progress until you kill all the monsters and spawn points. This element gets rather frustrating later on, when you have multiple spawn points and you are surrounded by hordes of monsters.

All in all, Neverdead isn't a bad game. Yes its not worth 60 dollars, but if you need a time filler and need a decent game Neverdead would be a good choice. Just don't expect it to be anything amazing and it won't disappoint you.

But it is so awesome and deserves a better overall rating. I came on here right away to post this review using my phone lol!

Way too much negativity towards this game! It's fresh, original and I think it pisses people off just because it's not CoD. It uses a fun, unique mix of shooting, swordplay and limb combat that you won't get in any other game. The characters are a nice break from the norm and provide good entertainment and so far I'm loving all of it. The music is awesome. The graphics are good. And these days for the price a new copy is a steal. The swordplay controlled with the right stick works amazingly and just going around destroying the environment is fun in itself. Monsters also slice up according to swing direction, Bryce frowning while his decapitaded head flies through the air it's all just great. I thought losing limbs would be a pain but its beyond easy to regain them so no stress there.

Dodging and slicing feels cool and let's you keep those limbs too. I'll update more but so far. For this game to make this impression and have me do this review on my phone says something. Its a refreshing, especially if you've played as many games as I have. Happy gaming.

The game is fun for a while (2 or 3 hours), the rest is boring. The game has like 5 different enemies and you have to fight them again and again.

This game had a cool idea to it, but the execution was horrible. The controls are clunky, there is very limited variation in enemy type. The idea behind "never dying" was nice and fun at the beginning, but after the first 20 minutes it becomes extremely painful and grueling. In order to "lose" in the game, the woman who accompanies you has to be dropped to her knees and you have a time limit to save her. It's extremely annoying.

This game is NOT worth the 60 dollars. If you really wish to try this game for yourself, wait until it drops to 10/15 dollars or rent it for lower. SAVE YOUR MONEY!
