Killer Is Dead is a Hack and Slash Action Game by Grasshopper Manufacture, blending the modern action gameplay of games like Lollipop Chainsaw with a surreal world more reminiscent of Suda51's classics Killer7 and No More Heroes, although the game was actually directed by Hideyuki Shin. The game was released in Japan by Kadokawa Games on August 1, 2013 while XSEED Games released an English version in North America on August 27, 2013.Set 20 Minutes into the Future, the game follows 35-year-old Badass in a Nice Suit Mondo Zappa: a professional "executioner" commissioned to kill supernatural criminals with his trusty katana and cybernetic swiss-army-arm. As the lead operative of the Bryan Execution Firm, Mondo embarks on a psychedelic story of seduction, revenge and lunacy. | |

Power Limiter | |
Killer is Dead (Video Game) / int_1dce4748 | comment |
Power Limiter: The upgrades for Mondo's katana, Gekkou, involve removing these: the more limiters are removed, the higher the katana's power will increase with higher combos and the less hits it takes to reach lower power levels. In gameplay terms, this translates to more damage and more elaborate combos, with lv4 adding glowing blue Sword Lines to all of Mondo's strikes and lv5 changing most of his attacks to elaborate flips. | |

Recurring Riff: Snippets of Dvorak's New World Symphony appear often throughout the game's soundtrack, including (but not limited to) the music box in Alice's house, the BGM for Episode 8, and most obviously the final battle with David. Very apt, considering a recording of New World Symphony was one of the items taken to the moon by Neil Armstrong during the first moon landing. | |

Heroism Won't Pay the Bills | |
Killer is Dead (Video Game) / int_49a4c141 | comment |
Heroism Won't Pay the Bills: State-sponsored execution (read: government-approved assassination) isn't exactly a paragon of heroism, but the protagonists save a lot of bystanders. And they never get paid enough; even though you earn millions by billing the state, in this economy, $10K isn't enough to buy two packs of gum. Episode 1: The reason why Mondo didn't get paid a fortune to save news-phenomenon Mika from a cowardly (but smart) Wire? This was David that the player was controlling, not Mondo. Episode 2: Mondo needs to kill off a former employee who has gone insane and is summoning Wires. Not much payment for executing their own. Episode 3: A painter wants his homicidally-insane neighbor executed. He can't pay the main fees because he's dead. Episode 4: Mondo fails to kill the target, though it was an obvious tie. Not bad for a rookie. So his client decides to stay at his place. Rawr. Episode 5: Dream episode. Episode 6: A talented pianist was subjected to experimentation by a corporate executive turned musician. But it turns out that her best friend was the one who requested the execution, because the shock killed said pianist. And she can't pay the bills because she's literally a bluejay. Episode 7: Bryan decides to put his former partner out of his misery. Even though the guy had manifested a fuzzy killing machine, there wasn't any real reward for killing him. Episode 8: Dream episode. Episode 9: A scientist at Area 151 accidentally activates an alien artifact, mutating him into a rampaging giant baby monster. The alien turns out to be the scientist who commissioned the job. He pays them, but the team can't pick up a miniature sun, and they consider this sun worthless anyway. Episode 10: David augments an old locomotive with excessive amounts of dark matter, turning it sentient and angry. The team FINALLY gets paid for saving the streets of Moscow from 20 tons of roaring dark-matter augmented death. Aaaand then it all goes towards buying Bryan golden robotic parts after he was injured during the mission. Episode 11: Dream episode. Episode 12: This is personal. Episode 51: A pureblooded vampire requests a hit on a halfblooded vampire who decided to get some Wire upgrades. They had a lover's spat. Mondo's spat goes off better, but Betty decides to renege on the payment for shits and giggles. | |

If You Kill Him, You Will Be Just Like Him! | |
Killer is Dead (Video Game) / int_554063c6 | comment |
If You Kill Him, You Will Be Just Like Him!: A major plot point is how killing Wires and Execution Targets releases varying quantities of Dark Matter. Most of it is sent to the Moon but a good quantity of it engulfs the general area, possibly infecting everyone therein if they aren't adequately shielded. Large levels of infection result in the afflicted gradually turning into Wires, gaining vast physical enhancements, but ultimately robbing them of their humanity. Ultimately, this is enforced after the Final Boss, as killing David results in Mondo getting corrupted by Dark Matter and taking his place. | |

Bragging Rights Reward: The "Legendary Executioner" costume. It's just Mondo's suit, minus his artificial left arm, and a slightly different haircut. No powers, no hidden bonuses, no score multipliers, nothing. Just a snappy looking costume for a whopping $100,000,000! (For perspective, the average rewards for each mission range from about $30,000-$2,000,000 depending on the mission and final score, not to mention how you may end up spending much of that money on gifts and upgrades. | |

Killer is Dead (Video Game) / int_589e54d3 | comment |
Charged Attack: A few: With no upgrades, holding down the attack button will make Mondo charge up for a Spin Attack. Upgrades will increase the number and speed of spins and add a finisher where Mondo leaps into the air and slams the ground with his katana, causing a huge shockwave that greatly damages any enemy near him. One of the Musselback's optional alternate modes is the Charge Cannon, which is a much more powerful, chargeable blaster. An optional upgrade for the Musselback is a charge punch, which will break a guard in one hit. | |

Killer is Dead (Video Game) / int_6bda9a30 | comment |
Meaningful Name: Mondo means "world", and he represents the Earth in the game's cosmology. His last name is a Shout-Out to Frank Zappa, as Suda confirms here. Mondo is also the name of the protagonist of Flower, Sun and Rain, and they also resemble each other a bit. | |

Gainax Ending | |
Killer is Dead (Video Game) / int_82accf22 | comment |
Gainax Ending: Individual episodes have them (e.g. the client was actually a bird!), and the ending cutscene of the game, although literally describable, is presented quite indirectly. After killing David, Mondo cuts his arm off. Back in Mondo's yacht on Earth, Mika cries. Moon River gives the firm a new target. Mondo is shown putting David's mansion back together, with his left arm restored. The implication is that Mondo has become corrupted by darkness, which makes more or less sense, but the boss fight he has with David beforehand is bizarre as well, confounding things further. | |

Elite Mooks: First, you have your basic, unarmored Wires. Next, you have your gold-armored ones that can take more damage. Afterwards, there are the hardier and more vicious enemies that wear headdresses. Finally, there are the Wires that are protected by a high-class alloy who can only be killed via Adrenaline Burst decapitations. | |

Finishing Move: Lots of them. The aforementioned Counter Shot always kills any Wire in a single hit as it's an automatic head shot and Adrenaline Burst can be use to instantly kill any non-protected enemy and is often used to finish off stronger ones when you damage them enough. There's also Judgement, which becomes available when you kill an enemy with maximum sword level and allows you to pick which type of Power-Up they drop afterwards, with a different animation for each one that also varies depending on enemy size. | |

Shout-Out | |
Killer is Dead (Video Game) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: When confronting Hamada-Yama, Mondo tells him that he became an executioner because he woke up one day with a mechanical arm. Hamada responds that it's a good thing he didn't become a poisonous insect. The vampire Sebastian from the DLC mission turns into a demon that greatly resembles Dracula's final form from Castlevania: Bloodlines, with the main difference being that his torso consists of an entire face instead of just the crotch-mouth and he has an additional pair of wings. One of Scarlett's hiding spots in Mission 7 which takes place in Japan is inside a glowing stalk of bamboo admidst a field of them, much like Princess Kaguya in the old Japanese story The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter. In Episode 11, the Russian Ministry of Defense requests that the crew execute a dark matter-tainted steam engine nicknamed "Tommy". Mondo has an epic one on one duel with David on the moon, with Dvorak's 9th blaring in the background. Y'know, that sounds awfully familiar.. | |

Counter-Attack: Dodge Burst, Counter Smash, and Counter Shot. Counter Smash works after doing a Just Guard (pressing block when a Wire flashes red) and pressing the button prompt that appears (Y on 360/Triangle on PS3). The Counter Shot works by doing a Dodge Burst on gun wielding Wires. The last two counters you have to buy with your upgrade points. | |
