So, you’ve checked out the demo, but you want more info on the gameplay for Stupid Never Dies? GPTRACK50 has you covered with the second Deep Bite video, which focuses on “Blazing Fast Growth”. Director Eiichiro Sasaki shares some details on the gameplay mechanic.
Stupid Never Dies protagonist Davy’s main goal is to get to the bottom of the underworld as fast as humanly possible and take out the King of All Monsters (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.
Stupid Never Dies will launch October 21 for PC via Steam and PlayStation 5.
