A roguelike with a difference, you’ll be responsible for levelling up Davy until he becomes an over-powered monolith of a protagonist, upgrading and making him better with every run.
The debut title from the studio, Stupid Never Dies is as unique as its premise indicates, and there’s a lot you need to know, including release date, what platforms it’s available on, and what’s included.

Game Modes – Single Player
There is only one game mode in Stupid Never Dies, a single-player roguelike campaign that forces you to send Davy on regular runs into the dungeons, levelling up and improving him in numerous ways, from basic levels to more items, skills and abilities. The game’s hub area is set in a shopping mall with a few supporting characters that can help in various ways, including upgrading yourself with Body Hacks, and many other ways.
With the world having been destroyed prior to the beginning of the story, you’re tasked with bringing an end to KOM (King of Monsters), after he’s killed 98% of humanity thanks to an invention of his. This is where the roguelike elements come in, as each dungeon dive is designed to not only be varied and save repeating, but also make you strong enough to do just that. As zombies are seen as the lowest of the low in this new world, that’s not as easy as it seems.
