Wanted: Dead is a third-person action game that combines TPS and ACT elements. The story is set in a parallel world of Hong Kong, which has been a huge deviation from the development of science and technology and international forces since the return of Hong Kong to modern times, and players will play as a member of the "zombie force" of Hong Kong's elite police force, and the heroine Hannah Stone fights with hordes of enemies to reveal a huge conspiracy.
Old Shinobi Group's new work?
The development team of this game is Soleil Ltd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Japanese studio Wake Up, and its representative works include "Bubblegum Ninja War", "Naruto Boruto Shinobi Attack" and "Norse Goddess: Elysium". This game is a brand new project officially announced by them in October 2021, but the point of attention and the main publicity direction is that the production team is known as the former ninja group - the director of this work is Hiroaki Matsui, and the producer is Yoshiko Okamoto, both core members of the old Team Ninja.
However, there is no doubt that even if Tencent has acquired Wake Up at the end of 21, even if the price of this game is quite high, its production specifications are not a masterpiece, and it is difficult to compare with the glorious Tekumo that is now in full swing.
In terms of picture modeling, the level of this work can only be said to be acceptable. Although it is a Hong Kong background, it may be because the protagonist group set by the world line is basically a western face, and it is also worth mentioning that although this work is not Chinese, you can see the big "special police" before entering the actual battle of the game...
Although the heroine can't say how beautiful, she is definitely not ugly, and after tying her hair, the katana and the gun look heroic. There is also an obvious set of action design, which is very handsome.
Change your gun for a knife
The core gameplay of this game is a combination of melee sword combat and long-range gunfight, including small pistols fused into the gun fighting of the company. On the other hand, this work also did a large number of amputation systems, and plasma flew around. It sounds beautiful, but the gameplay is somewhat fragmented - although this game has a good action design, it also has a perfect block sliding step counterattack execution... and other combat systems, but from the default cover automatic occlusion, will face very heavy crossfire and other elements, you can see that the overall large frame is still TPS. However, the gun ammunition in this game is very limited, and you can only use the initial small pistol to blindly hit after shooting.
And if you don't want to be unilaterally pressed and beaten, you can only take the initiative and go up against the bullet to cut people to get supplies. Although the production team advised players on the store page to "use the controller for smooth combos and intuitive combat", the design is still slightly counterintuitive.
On the other hand, this game includes grenades, tumbling and other abilities that need to be unlocked through the skill points obtained... It can be said that for gun lovers, this game is probably not so friendly, and for action game enthusiasts, the design of the large frame may also be a bit problematic.
Of course, that's not all there is to this game. This work also has collection elements, training tasks, mini-games and other elements, which enrich the content of the game. However, from the pricing of the $59.99 benchmark 3A of this work, the cost performance still has to be questioned.
brief summary
All in all, "Wanted: Dead", as a new work that combines action hacking and third-person shooter by members of the old ninja group, does have certain design problems, and the pricing of the game is not low, it can only be said that it is for the old ninja group supporters, and the average player can consider buying it at a discount.
