New Steam Game is Hi-Fi Rush if Music Was Swapped Out For Zombies, and It’s Out Real Soon

Tango Gameworks’ Hi-Fi Rush was one of 2023’s standout games, and it’s not hard to grasp why. Its rhythm-based combat system was easy to pick up but hard to master, as players needed to strike their foes on-beat with each level’s catchy music. Fun boss fights, memorable characters, a gorgeous visual style, and a rank system that allowed players to push themselves all contributed to the game’s popularity. Its lower-than-usual price tag of $30 USD was also beneficial. Ultimately, the game built such a passionate fan base that publisher Krafton saw a need to rescue the IP after Microsoft stepped away from the project, giving fans more Chai to look forward to. In the meantime, though, the Steam game Stupid Never Dies could keep action RPG fans waiting on Hi-Fi Rush 2 entertained.

With the tone of Stupid Never Dies being similarly lighthearted and the action being equally flashy, there’s only one major difference to point out between it and Hi-Fi Rush: the theme. Players won’t be finding themselves in a music-centric world with Stupid Never Dies, as instead of relying on music for their attacks, players will be leveraging the power of the undead. Instead of a blossoming superhero with the power to command music to their advantage, Stupid Never Dies puts players in control of “the weakest zombie in existence.” One look at the game will make it clear that it’s not the usual zombie fare, as instead of a gory and grotesque setting, players will be battling through a colorful punk rock world in search of love.

For Steam users wanting to check it out, Stupid Never Dies lists an October 21 release date for the game. It costs $50, but the Glorious Idiot edition offers 2 days early access for those willing to spend $60.

Not only do colorful damage numbers, movement effects, and environments ensure the moment-to-moment gameplay of Stupid Never Dies is visually stunning all the way through, but its cinematics seem similarly breathtaking. However, a good-looking game is only a piece of the puzzle, and thankfully, Stupid Never Dies seems set to deliver both style and substance. Developer GPTRACK50 touts that the studio was founded by veteran action game developers, which immediately bodes well for the title’s success.

The mechanics of Stupid Never Dies seem to take full advantage of the game’s premise, which sees players building up the weakest zombie in the world to be an absolute powerhouse. To accomplish this, players will take two paths to upgrading Davy, the zombie game’s protagonist. First, they’ll replace Davy’s zombified body parts with Overtech gear acquired from the many foes that they’ll come across. These Body Hack replacements will not only provide access to both passive and active abilities, but also stat upgrades, allowing for “endless” character builds. The second method is called Style Eat, and once again, it leans into the game’s core gimmick of controlling a zombie.
