One of the best games I have ever played. Only having heard whispers of this game from those I would consider “in the know”, I decided to at least entertain the first 5 minutes. I was impatient, bothered by the controls, the ‘unskippable’ dialogue which would crawl across the screen, and the overall hamfisted energy emitting from every facet of the experience. I stopped playing. Months later I couldn’t get it off my mind, I picked it back up and was rewarded with the most entertaining game I have played in years. Every aspect I hated became one I now treasured, I wondered out loud how I could be so “uncool” before. The ham-fistedness was actually as delicate and as artful as a gentle flick of a single hair on a paintbrush. An aesthetic choice which rendered such a vibrant, vivid, virtuosically manifested vision of what games should have been doing this entire time. As one of my favorite game designers once said, video games should be “hot and fast”, and no other g...

CHARACTER PROFILE
Harman Smith
The central character in this story. He is an elderly man of 65, physically dependent on his live-in nursing assistant. However, when aroused he shows his true colors as the "God Killer." His massive armor piercing rifle is one of his professional trademarks.
- Weapon: Armor piercing rifle
Garcian Smith
The leader of 7 different personalities and also a loyal servant of Haman. He's low-key and nothing's ever humorous to him. He uses his special telegnosis ability to search and destroy the Heaven Smiles that use optical camouflage.
- Weapon: Handgun with Silencer
Dan Smith
The most aggressive personality with the biggest attitude out of the 7. He's dressed cool with a suit and tie. No one will mistake him for a business man, at least not with his big revolver he carries all the time. There is hatred in his eyes. Some even say that if you stare into his eyes, you can see the devil.
- Weapon: Custom Magnum
Mask de Smith
A mysterious former professional wrestler, he managed to build quite a following with this unique blend of Lucha Libre and British Lancashire style wrestling. There are rumors of his rampaging maskless through the ranks of the No Holds Barred circuit as well. Just when he had been invited to New York to appear at the main event, he vanished without a trace. His specialty move is known as the Smith Special (usually referred to in wrestling circles as the "burning hammer.") His double grenade launchers pack a powerful punch and can fire normal, Electric, and Gravity grenades. Animals naturally flock to the young and kind-hearted Babyface.
- Weapon: Double Grenade Launchers
Coyote Smith
Like a venomous serpent, he's a cold-blooded personality. A Latino thug who knows his ways in the streets. Coyote is synonymous with the "art of lock-picking." He's a man who knows how to get things. It's this extraordinary skill that qualifies him as a member of the Smithe Alliance. Also worth mentioning is his ability to take lives brutally.
- Weapon: Custom Revolver
Kevin Smith
This albino man uses a knife as his weapon of choice. He can disappear into thin air by taking off his shades. He favors solitude over harmony. They say he's not a man of many words. But in actuality, no one has ever heard him speak. Some rumor that his voice can summon gods.
- Weapon: Knives/Throwing Knives
Kaede Smith
The only girl in the killer entourage. She summons hear deadly spirits by blasting out a shower of blood from her wrist. Because she lives a life so close to death, her ability to survive life-or-death situations is beyond that of any living man. Her specialty is long-range shooting. She's able to use a 2-step zoom when firing her weapon. On a personal level she's very passive and tends to keep her distance from others.
- Weapon: Automatic Pistol with Scope
Con Smith
The blind boy Con has exceptional hearing that allows him to visualize sounds. He also has an awesome rapid-fire ability. Another nice attribute is his super running speed that if he wanted could outrun almost any enemy. When he's asleep, he's just an average child. Nobody would suspect him of being an elite assassin.
- Weapon: Double Automatics
ENEMY PROFILE
Kun LanA parasitic avatar from Haman Smith's past. With the power of the gods, he brought forth the "Heaven Smile." His plan is to bring down the Federation of States.
Heaven Smile
Violent beings who exist through the hand of Kun Lan. Their sole mode of attacking is to get near their targets and blow themselves up. In urban camouflage, they are very difficult to spot with the naked eye.

this game made me cum and cry, a lot
It was a wild ride. One of a kind. That's all I can say.
There may never ever be another game like killer7. This game is... something else. Plays like no other, looks razor sharp and atmosphere is surreal. No game has lingered in my mind like killer7 ever since I bought it. Only a high IQ madman can come up with story and gameplay like this. I really wish I could play and experience this game for the first time again. This game is truly one of the kind.
Killer7 war weird, stylish und hat mich komplett geflasht.
Very unique and fun gaming experience, they don't make 'em like this anymore. The art style and soundtrack are awesome too, I love them. As for the story, I was too slow/dumb to get any of the symbolism lmao, but I could tell the writing was great.
Geopolitical point-and-click shooter with a surreal story and insane style - Like a cross between Pulp Fiction and the United Nations.
Enigmatic, often frustrating, and kinda just weird for weirdness' sake, this can best be described as a bizarre "on rails" first-person shooter puzzle game. The controls take a hot minute to get used to, but once you find your groove it all makes sense. Mostly. Just don't expect the story to do the same! If nothing else, this trip of a game is worth it for the sheer experience of it all. Even if you end up not caring for it, it's unlikely you've really played anything else like it.
This is the greatest unfinished video game you'll ever play, and nothing else quite like it will probably come out in your lifetime or mine. Buy it.
I actually like playing this version better than thee gamecube version. This game was definitely made for keyboard and mouse. Always runs smooth and It's a fantastic way to experience an otherwise forgotten classic.
