Stupid Never Dies gets Second Deep Dive Trailer

I have been frothing at the mouth for Stupid Never Dies like a zombie drooling over brains. GPTRACK50’s new action game oozes style and gives me vibes not dissimilar to Lollipop Chainsaw and Devil May Cry. With the release date creeping up on us, the devs have revealed another deep dive into Davy’s adventure.

In a new video shared by SEGA and GPTRACK50, titled “Deep Bite #2”, some core gameplay details have been showcased that we haven’t seen before. It is nice to see this attention to showing off the game, as I could easily see this flying under the radar without the proper care and attention. Here are the press release’s details on the new trailer:

“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!

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 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!”

Additionally, the demo for Stupid Never Dies has been updated with a few player feedback elements in mind. Specifically, feedback regarding targeting has been focused on, including adjusting attacks to make it easier to hit enemies, both on the ground and in the air. They have also added a new “Combat Camera Assist” feature that will keep enemies in view during combat. This new feature can be turned on or off in the options menu.

I couldn’t be more excited for Stupid Never Dies if I tried. It looks goofy, a little dumb, but a whole lot of fun in equal measure. Stupid Never Dies will be available on October 21^st, for both PC and PlayStation 5.
