Wanted: Dead review

Hannah Stone in Wanted: Dead.

Wanted: Dead would have totally banged in the late 2000s. It’s a no-nonsense hack-and-slash with some sickeningly wicked dismemberment, B-tier voice acting, and heaps of jank. It’s exactly what developer Soleil was aiming for, backed by several ex-Ninja Gaiden and Dead or Alive workers. But in the year of our lord 2023, its unapologetic vision isn’t going to sit right with everybody.

What is it? A hack-and-slash inspired by janky 2000s action games.

Expect to pay: £49.99 / $59.99

Developer: Soleil Limited

Publisher: 110 Industries SA

Unfortunately, I’m one of those people. I’m a huge Team Ninja lover and a regular Dead or Alive defender, so I was excited to dive into the Hong Kong Police Department’s Zombie Squad. A group of former criminals on life sentences, you take on the role of Hannah Stone. Along with comrades Herzog, Doc and Cortez, Wanted: Dead’s flimsy narrative is played out across a number of missions.
