About
A brutal FPS. One girl. One gun. One recording.
They broke into her life.
They filmed her. They destroyed her.
Now she's back - and she's filming them.
Better Than Dead is a brutal first-person shooter set in the depths of photorealistic Hong Kong.
You play as a survivor who’s done running. She’s got a pistol, a bodycam, and a kill list.
Every level is a raid. And every raid has a rhythm.
You'll die. You'll learn. You'll come back faster - until every run feels like the revenge scene it was meant to be.
Bodycam revenge shooter – Film every step. Every shot. Every death. No mercy.
Learn, adapt, dominate - Each room has a rhythm. Die, read the layout, and come back harder. Every run is faster than the last.
Photorealistic Hong Kong – Fight your way through iconic action-movie settings: neon-lit restaurants, seedy nightclubs, back alleys, rooftop dens.
Raw, aggressive gunplay - Slide into bullet time. Move fast. Hit harder.
Cinematic action style – Inspired by classic Hong Kong action films from the ’80s and ’90s.

I cannot recommend this game with its price and current state, You cant have a ready or not style game where you have to avoid hitting civs, WHILE having a character that cant aim, its one or the other. Also, maps with big opening do not match this playstyle because of the previously mentioned problem of not being able to actually aim. And there's a bunch of other things like Downed enemies getting up super fast, enemies not being affected when shot, enemies being able to wall bang. However the Setting, music, and story are all great. My least favorite map (That cargo container one) has my favorite soundtrack in the game to a point where I'm hoping its on Spotify.
[i]Some things don't kill you. They leave you with a choice.[/i] Bodycam, pixelation, Hong Kong. Revenge. Suddenly, I feel like I'm playing [b]Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days[/b] again. It was revolutionary in its time, and so is Better Than Dead. I'm not sure if this would be enough to pave the way for more though. So far, we've only seen one multiplayer title that isn't doing particularly well, one singleplayer game that popularized the concept but hasn't been released yet, and at this point I think even it's own developer doesn't know when it's going to be, and finally this one, which, unfortunately, doesn't leave a completely positive impression. This game gives you the illusion of playing an inexperienced protagonist who has just picked up a gun, until it doesn't. It's incredibly immersive for the first few minutes, but that feeling quickly fades once you realize how trivial sliding is and that your ammo is unlimited. This wasn't a game I was particularly expecting it to be, but I still enjoyed what it had to offer, despite its short length... I just wish it had deeper mechanics. You have the usual shooting, aiming, reloading, sprinting, and crouching, with the slightly less common additions of bullet time and sliding (which for some reason, bundled together) and that's it. No, literally, that's the entire game. It takes around 2–3 hours to finish, and if you're aiming for the Black Star rank; and yeah this game has a ranking system, expect another 2–3 hours because of how easy it is to obtain. Just make sure you kill every enemy, since those left suffering on the ground don't count. It doesn't really matter how fast you finish a mission, how accurate you are, or how much damage you avoid. The only thing that matters is killing every enemy before the time limit expires. It's not a good implementation I think, because beating a level in 20 seconds with missing 2 kills gives you the worst rank while beating it in a minute with all kills gives you the best. I hope the [b]"To Hell"[/b] game mode adds the replayability this game desperately needs but I'd still recommend it at its current price. Also, I can't ignore the fact that it feels only slightly more substantial than a tech demo. While the visuals imply a story about taking revenge on your r*pists and s*x traffickers, the game never really explores that premise in any other means but visual storytelling. And that also isn't really developed, you simply pull out a gun and shoot waves of nearly identical enemies until the game ends. It also needs more time in the oven. Audio bugs are frequent, and the menus feel rough and unpolished. Blood splatters are nice until you see them in the dark. I believe bodycam fps is the next big leap for fps games and this game proves it. Once you play Better Than Dead, the usual fps games feels uninspired and boring. Amazing graphics and presentation. Awesome gun sounds and visual style. Unfortunately, it just gives you the taste of it because of it's short nature and simplicity, which in this case, left me for hanging for more. [b]Also thank you my love, for gifting this game to me :3
Genuinely incredible game that I can't wait to see flourish and grow. I don't have much to say except I'm really glad they told this story from the perspective of a survivor Some negatives would be the default FOV being too far in, as well as some AI generated images in restaurants

Very high learning curve. Aiming is intentionally bad and awkward. There is some degree of auto-aim at times and a bullet time mechanic that is helpful yet not always reliable. The style and atmosphere is excellent; however, patience is needed to adapt to the controls.
PERFECTION ! I LOVE TAKASHI MIIKE FILMS ! This game just oozes old school triad and yakuza flicks, ABSOLUTE CINEMA! Shinjuku Triad Society meets dead or alive then sprinkles in ITCHI THE KILLER that's this game <<< I am so sick of top tier operator FPS games, The whole tactical smooth precision military doctrine dose not live here.. it's a messy brutal gore perspective with bottom tier hitman gun play.. Its like playing as a triad underling sent out on there first hit and all the viscosity and panic that goes with it.. exceptional !! This game is soooo welcome at this point, all the mil-spec titles out there with there sanitary movement and perfect gun play just pales in comparison to gritty unprofessional violence. A* 10/10 niche run an gun game I highly recommend !
Loved the way you had to handle shooting from an unexperienced person's pov, really good game.
사격 훈련장에서 가만히 조준하는데 표적만 피해가네. 그 부분만 커서가 샥 피함.
Most interesting FPS since Ready or Not. Great setting
不错, 初见两小时能打完, 只能说枪法符合人物设定U•ェ•*U
