The end of all human kind is close at hand, so Davy better act fast!
In a new video shared by publisher SEGA and developer GPTRACK50, Director Eiichiro Sasaki shares some details on the core gameplay players can enjoy starting October 21 in their upcoming pop-punk action-RPG Stupid Never Dies. With countless ways for our favorite zombie underdog Davy to power up, delving into the depths of the underworld to defeat the King of All Monsters (KOM) is fast, furious, and a heck of a lot of fun!
Watch the Stupid Never Dies Deep Bite #2: Game Cycle Trailer:
Davy’s main goal: get to the bottom of the underworld as fast as humanly (or is that zombie-ly?) possible and take out KOM before he takes Davy out! But before doing that, the smart thing to do is prepare for battle. In the shopping mall (Davy’s home base), Davy can visit his companions who can equip him with all sorts of upgrades. Ascelino, found at at Ink on the Brain, can modify Davy’s head, arms, and legs through Body Hack with Over Technology collected during runs. By visiting Bessie at Bessie Burger, Davy can trade in monster parts to unlock powerful Zombie Skills that will appear later on as level-up choices. Time is of the essence, here, and zombies are not known for their speed, so travel from store to store on your trusty modified robot vacuum.
Davy starts each dive into KOM’s realm at level 1, but through the power of Blazing Fast Growth, over time, Davy levels up faster and faster with every enemy he defeats. He’ll eventually reach a point where even defeating a single enemy at the start of the run will gain him a massive amount of levels, skyrocketing him from 0-60 in an instant, making it possible for him to descend all the way to the bottom to take out KOM in a single run. That’s the heart of Blazing Fast Growth – the satisfaction of gaining the greatest power in the shortest amount of time!
