Battle The Zombie Apocalypse to Rescue Your Potential Date in ‘Cute & Dead’ [Trailer]
With Zombies Ate My Neighbors inspiring Mega Cat Studios with Lethal Wedding, how about some more? Deep Type Games is another upcoming dev taking after the LucasArts classic with their upcoming VR shooter game, Cute & Dead. Currently slated to arrive later this summer on the Meta Quest, the game is also planned to hit SteamVR later this year, and while the PlayStation VR2 isn’t planned yet, the devs aren’t ruling it out “down the road”.
Described as a fast-paced zombie shooter with collectible elements and a dating-sim twist, Cute & Dead touts fast, chaotic, and “just plain fun” combat that blends the nostalgic feeling of classics like Zombies Ate My Neighbors with VR technology. The story puts you in the shoes of a typical nerd trying to ask the hottest girl in school out on a date. Complicating things is the untimely arrival of a zombie apocalypse. That won’t stop you in your quest for love! All you need to do is find her and rescue her from hordes of the living dead.
You’ll have 30 unique girlfriends to meet and save across eight unique maps. Standing in your way are eight different enemy types, but you’ve got 10 weapon varieties at your disposal. You won’t be alone in your mission, either. You’ll have a cute dog companion who fights by your side in the fast-paced gameplay.
Capcom has made the wait for the upcoming Onimusha: Way of the Sword a little easier. Originally set for a September 25 release, the long-awaited return of the franchise has now been bumped up to September 4 for PlayStation 5, the Xbox Series, the Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store.
Pre-orders for Onimusha: Way of the Sword are available now. Players who jump in and secure the Standard, Deluxe, or Premium Deluxe editions before the game’s release will receive Early Adopter Bonuses, including the “Sealed Curse” sword skin and “Lion Dog” charm. You can also check out the demo on all platforms (save for the Switch 2).
Players with save data from the demo can also look forward to claiming a Kubi Akari charm as a special bonus when the full game arrives.
Onimusha: Way of the Sword returns to a dark fantasy feudal Japan where samurai clash with the supernatural in cutting-edge combat. The game takes place in Kyoto during the early Edo period. Fusing history and myth, the story follows the journey of Miyamoto Musashi, a samurai armed with a mystical Oni Gauntlet, as he battles demons invading Edo-period Kyoto. Onimusha: Way of the Sword features intense action that combines the series’ signature Issen and Soul Absorption mechanics with swordplay that aims to take the combat to new heights.
