This Character-Action Zombie Game Stumbles Into Its Own Way
Stupid Never Dies makes a strong, if extremely weird, first impression. Wrapping roguelite progression around the system of an action-RPG and setting that story in an inventive punk-inspired world of monsters is an inviting hook. Plus, it's hard not to feel some affection for the dimwitted hero and...
Stupid Never Dies Blends a Wacky Tone with Aggressive Gameplay to Create a Unique Pop-Punk Action Game
Stupid Never Dies is a single-player action game built on one philosophy: attack, attack, and attack some more. After playing the demo, it’s clear that all the game’s mechanics are built around rewarding aggressive play, giving gameplay a sense of momentum and progress. You play as Davy, the...

Stupid Never Dies Review

Stupid Never Dies review: "This pop punk zombie action RPG oozes personality, but ends up dead on arrival"
Malls, in pop culture at least, are inhabited by three main groups. Zombies, the monster-battling kids from Stranger Things, and teenagers in Avril Lavigne music videos. Stupid Never Dies’ Davy is somehow all three at once: a hoodie-wearing defector from the zombie horde, facing off against other...
Stupid Never Dies (PC) Review
Stupid Never Dies, the debut title from GPTRACK50 is here, bringing with it what might just be one of the best action games of the year and my favourite game to feature roguelike elements in a long time. Like its rich and eclectic development team, Stupid Never Dies flaunts its pedigree from the...
Stupid Never Dies Review – Amidst The Heartened Desperation
While I don’t inherently agree that too many roguelikes are flooding the market, I get why some games might not need to embrace the genre. Roguelikes are so malleable that I rarely get tired of their countless interpretations, but sometimes I play one where the structure feels less integral to the...

Review: Stupid Never Dies (PS5) - Toilet-Flushing, Monster-Munching Roguelite Stands Out in a Stacked Genre
Basket case. With a scribblecore aesthetic and a story so unhinged it’d make even Suda51 smile, Stupid Never Dies is not your average roguelite. I think that’s important, because this debut action effort from Japanese dev GPTRACK50 is entering a genre that’s quickly becoming overstuffed with...

Stupid Never Dies Review – A Chaotic Action Roguelite That Sometimes Stumbles
In an era for the gaming industry when the aesthetics of AAA video games are becoming increasingly homogenized, titles that attempt to do something different have no trouble standing out. This has long been the reason why Goichi "Suda51" Suda and Grasshopper Manufacture games like the No More...
This week in PC games: build a better zombie in Stupid Never Dies, glue together houses in Cutout Village, and settle brave new worlds in Star Trek: Outposts Unknown
Hello all! Welcome to another wonderful week of PC games, and mounting bloodlust. As I type these words, a neighbour has started using a leafblower. I hate leafblowers.

Preview: Stupid Never Dies Is a Hard Sell, But It Could Offer Weird Action Unlike Anything Else on PS5
Stupid (me) does die. Stupid Never Dies is a much deeper game than it initially seemed. I’d only briefly come across some promotional material for GPTRACK50’s zombie-based roguelike by the time I sat down to play it at Gamescom. So to say I was surprised when some of its developers walked me...
