Killer Is Dead Screenshots Face Off Against Bosses

XSeed Games released some brand new screenshots for the upcoming hack-and-slash, alternate reality game from Suda 51 and Grasshopper Manufacture. The screenshots mostly focus on the boss battles, as well as guard counters and special evasive maneuvers.

Killer is Dead is another one of those experimental games from the perversely creative mind of Goichi Suda. Fusing a little bit of Mad World and No More Heroes together, Killer is Dead sees players taking on the role of an executive killer for hire who, ironically, kills killers.

Assuming the role of Mondo Zappa, players will venture about facing off against a horde of unlikely villains, as well as some of the craziest looking bosses featured in a video game. XSeed also revealed more about the Gigolo mode, where players will attempt to win over the hearts of ladies and use X-ray glasses to see through their clothes and check out the brand of underwear they're wearing. No seriously. There are a few more of the Gigolo screenshots over on Siliconera.

You can check out the rest of the screenshots for Killer is Dead below. The game is set for release this summer for the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3.
