110 Industries released another installment of their Wanted: Dead Explained series, following last week's ‘Combat Explained’ video. Discover all there is to know about Wanted: Dead's stylish finisher mechanics and browse through our extensive coverage on @XONEHQ.
Developed by Japanese studio Soleil, Wanted: Dead blends melee sword combat, exciting gunplay and a unique limb severing system to deliver a deep action title inspired by the mechanically rich combat systems found in titles like Devil May Cry, Bayonetta and Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance.
Takedowns in Wanted: Dead are explosive in variety and feature situational kills, environmental hazards and unique takedowns specific to enemy types. These kills provide bloodthirsty visuals to the onslaught while also serving a vital tactical purpose through replenishing lost health. It’s not as easy as it may appear though, players will come to learn that executing takedowns and finisher moves are essential for progression and will make certain encounters beatable.
Unlocked very early on in the game is Hannah’s ultimate attack. This slick attack will help to stack up staggered enemies, dealing devastating chain finishers that can effectively take down an entire room of enemies. Finishing strikes work by each enemy having an invisible stamina bar (melee enemies typically have more stamina than ranged fighters). As the player damages enemies, this stamina bar depletes slowly and once their stamina falls to zero the enemy enters a staggered animation and can be executed by the player. Another way to attain a finisher is by using last-moment parries with a sword or side arm which automatically drains the enemy's stamina, providing the perfect opening for a kill.
110 Industries (@110industries) revealed that their blood-thirsty, limb-severing action game game Wanted: Dead is coming to Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4 & Windows PC on February 14th, Valentine's Day 2023. Check out the exclusive Gamescom 2022 release date trailer!

Players will take on the role of Lt. Hannah Stone, stepping into a dark and dangerous vision of cyberpunk Hong Kong as leader of the “Zombie Squad”, an elite team who work outside the purview of the traditional police force.

We should have at least two tickets to give out per meet up, so come prepared with expert knowledge of Bayonetta!
