Content notice: This game contains frequent depictions of intense violence, blood, and gore. During combat against humanoid enemies, players may see dismemberment effects and exaggerated damage visuals. The game also includes visual elements that some players may find disturbing or frightening, such as corpses, grotesque enemy designs, humanoid creatures with decayed appearances, and unsettling environmental imagery. Certain parts of the story and presentation reference themes of death and self-harm. In some scenes where decayed humanoid enemy characters are introduced, there are depictions suggesting falling from heights or hanging. These portrayals are used to emphasize the unnatural nature of the enemies and the game’s dark world, and are not interactive acts performed by the player. However, these themes may be sensitive for some audiences. The game contains mild suggestive themes and occasional character designs or visual framing that may imply sexuality, but there are no explicit sexual acts or nudity. The overall tone is dark and violent, featuring grotesque imagery consistent with a mature-rated action title.

About this game
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.
Grasshopper Manufacture's brand new title!
ROMEO IS A DEAD MAN is Grasshopper Manufacture's first brand new title in years! Players can expect a brand new unpredictable title that stands atop decades of experience!
