Wanted: Deadis a new slasher/shooter game from the creators ofDead or Aliveand theNinja Gaidenseries.
There are plenty of mechanics to wrap ones head around.
This is probably the first question anyone would ask going into a slasher/shooter game.
Swordplay comes in handy in melee combat.
Or, run-and-gun, so you have mobility.
Whichever you choose, it should come naturally to you while always maximizing your health versus the damage dealt.
Do note that the cover system may be a bit glitchy.
Hopefully, that gets sorted.
Otherwise, maybe venture to get used to it for now.
Guns help you take down enemies from a distance.
They can kill enemies quickly if only you remember to do so from behind cover.
Generally, though, always staying on the move is non-negotiable inWanted: Dead.
you should probably keep moving, be aggressive, and use cover wisely.
Level Up
Weapons can only do so much.
After completing the first stage, you should customize your weapon with the new parts youve unlocked.
Feel free to start with accuracy, since thats a bit wanting.
There are also weapon attachments like barrels, stocks, and more, which you unlock after each checkpoint.
Though, not all attachments are helpful.
Some may differ from your playstyle or weigh you down, so definitely test them out first.
Youre also free to unlock certain skills after the first stage.
Start with the grenade, then armor defenses, and then healing.
Skills are grouped into categories like utility, defense, offense, and the like.
Its generally good to upgrade skills from each category.
After a few playthroughs, youll findWanted: Deadis more a melee combat treat than a ranged one.
For instance, the game has documents you oughta collect that glow bright pink.
Each one earns you extra SP that adds up to currency you’re able to buy items with.
Just pick stuff up, that is all.
I dont mean explorative gameplay.
I mean, go beyond the main quest and see what elseWanted: Deadhas to offer.
Youll find the marketed mini-games like the ramen cooking show and karaoke.
The firing range, as its name implies, is a place to build your gunmanship skills.
These challenges help you work on the skills you feel need more polishing.
