You play as Romeo Stargazer, a man revived by experimental technology after a space-time disaster. Recruited into the FBI’s Space-Time Police, he travels between worlds to pursue criminals exploiting the chaos and search for his missing girlfriend, Juliet.
Combat is third-person action: switch between swords and guns to fight enemy waves and powerful criminals. Absorbing enemy blood charges Bloody Summer, a special attack, while weapon upgrades and support abilities give Romeo more options in battle.
The story unfolds across chapters, with main missions, side missions, exploration, and puzzles. A ship serves as a hub between assignments, where you can grow and fuse zombie-like support creatures and take part in minigames and character-progression activities.
In this helpfulness-selected sample, players who enjoy the game often praise its striking, varied presentation, eccentric storytelling, and soundtrack, describing an experience that feels distinctly creative. Some also find the combat and boss encounters satisfying, though opinions on the action and story are mixed. Criticism frequently points to PC performance problems, repetitive or frustrating combat, and stretches of tedious puzzle-focused exploration.
About ROMEO IS A DEAD MAN
Take control of the protagonist Romeo Stargazer in this third person singleplayer action adventure, split into various chapters. His story is both unpredictable and littered with intense battles, interspersed with side missions to suit the player's pace.
A story that transcends space-time
This game's story starts with space-time itself being shattered by a certain incident. Romeo, too, on the brink of life and death finds himself revived by a new kind of super technology. Thus he is recruited for the FBI's Space-Time Police as a special agent, and wanders the cosmos in search of criminals who've taken advantage of the situation at hand in an attempt to bring justice back to the universe. At the same time, he looks for clues concerning his missing girlfriend Juliet, and quickly comes to find both her disappearance and the destruction of space may be more linked than he thought. Donning the mask called Deadgear, what awaits Romeo at the edges of space-time?
Fight blood with blood
Romeo switches between swords and guns to fight. Wipe out the waves of enemies that stand in your path to give birth to a new kind of bloody action, and take down the fearsome space-time criminals that await. Absorb the blood of your enemies to unleash Romeo's special attack: Bloody Summer, capable of turning any situation around. Romeo's various weapons can be strengthened and altered as the story moves forward as he takes on even stronger enemies.
