Better Than Dead

MONTE GALLO developed and MicroProse Software published Better Than Dead. It launched in Early Access on May 12, 2026 for PC. The game is a bodycam-style revenge FPS. You play as a survivor who escapes a trafficking network and turns the camera back on her captors.

À propos du jeu

Better Than Dead frames its gunfights through a body-mounted camera. The viewpoint mimics real raw footage. Furthermore, the setting is a photorealistic version of Hong Kong. That combination gives the game a grounded and unsettling visual identity.

The story is direct and personal. You raid criminal spaces, rescue other victims, and hunt key targets. Each level has a specific objective and a specific target. Additionally, the bodycam is both a visual device and a narrative one. It makes the recording of revenge feel intentional and thematic.

Caractéristiques principales

Bodycam FPS Presentation

The game replaces a clean shooter view with a rougher bodycam angle. This makes even routine gunfights feel chaotic and immediate. As a result, the tension stays high throughout every room breach. Furthermore, the style makes the game visually distinct from standard FPS releases.

Close-Range Gunplay and Bullet Time

Combat is aggressive and short-range. You slide, push forward, and use bullet time to survive. Furthermore, the game is designed around fast, violent room-clearing. Holding back is rarely the right approach.

Photorealistic Hong Kong Setting

Narrow alleys, neon signs, and cramped interiors define each level. The setting directly supports the crime-thriller tone. Moreover, the detail in the environments helps sell the bodycam style as convincing.
