ROMEO IS A DEAD MAN Preview – Oh Romeo.

A bloodstained action adventure from the developer that taught us “PUNX NOT DEAD,” SUDA51 is back with Grasshopper Manufacture’s time-hopping ROMEO IS A DEAD MAN in February for PC and consoles.

We recently checked out ROMEO IS A DEAD MAN ahead of its February release – see whether players should paint their screen red with our preview…

ROMEO IS A DEAD MAN Preview

Putting the spotlight on the sheriff Romeo Stargazer, ROMEO IS A DEAD MAN features some space-time shenanigans that make things all wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey in Deadford, Pennsylvania.

After a happenstance encounter, ROMEO’s grandfather comes to save the day Doc Brown-style, gifting him the aptly titled DeadGear Life Support System. Taking on the new mantle of FBI Space-Time Police Cadet, players will venture forth to find Juliet – or Juliets, rather.

Shakespeare ain’t got nothing on SUDA51.

Making the most of the situation (with his grandfather literally getting his back – you’ll see), ROMEO IS A DEAD MAN lets players tap into their instincts as they utilize light and heavy attacks, dodges, and eviscerate any and all rotters that stand in his way. 

There’s even the odd trip to subspace via Nirvana TV!

Those that rose the ranks as No More Heroes’ Travis Touchdown might feel the groove with ROMEO IS A DEAD MAN’s Melee weaponry like the Spazer. Combat flows, and there are plenty of baddies just waiting to be taken down in each of its zoned off battle areas.

However, this DeadMan packs a number of tricks up his sleeve that make ROMEO IS A DEAD MAN distinctly its own.

For one, players can feed their bloodlust with ROMEO IS A DEAD MAN’s Blood Gauge. After attacking enemies at close-range to fill the meter, players can then activate the dazzling Bloody Summer move to razzle-dazzle and dish out damage, all while slightly recovering health.

Weaponry in ROMEO IS A DEAD MAN also allows for ranged combat on top of melee. For those who played Shadows of the Damned, the gunplay allows for players to hit shining blue flower enemy weak spots to easily take down foes.

As a result, mixing and matching between these two styles in ROMEO IS A DEAD MAN allows players to change things up near, far, and wherever you are.

ROMEO IS A DEAD MAN jumps across dimensions, tapping into SUDA51’s greatest works to create something truly Shakespearean.

ROMEO IS A DEAD MAN will release for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam February 11 – one can learn more via its official website.

Thank you to PR for arranging this ROMEO IS A DEAD MAN preview!
