US EditionRomeo Is a Dead Man Is a Hyper-Violent Sci-Fi Trip that’s as Gripping as It Is Mystifying
Grasshopper Manufacture’s new action-adventure blends melee combat, firearms, and a unique Bastard fusion system in a half-dead hero’s fight against time-space criminals.
- Available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and PC, the game releases February 11, 2026, with praise for its maximalist aesthetics and storytelling after 40 hours of play.
- Grasshopper Manufacture and Goichi `Suda51` Suda returned with an original project after a decade, marking their first new material since finishing the No More Heroes series.
- Combat mixes fast melee and firearms that cost energy for Bloody Summer special heals, while seeds drop to grow Bastards you plant and fuse in the Space-Time Police spaceship; boss fights resemble Dark Souls and alternate with subspace voxel mazes.
- Despite praise for its look and storytelling, the review criticized the game's few innovations to Grasshopper's established formula and highlighted the stressful WorstPink mini-game simulating neuroatypical social confusion.
- By leveraging PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and PC power, the game fills the screen with visual flourishes, evoking David Lynch and Alejandro Jodorowsky while honoring Grasshopper Manufacture's history.
