In the shown fragment, the character advances through locations, eliminating opponents in tight spaces. Each skirmish is fast and merciless: one mistake ends in death. The camera, mounted on the hero's body, creates the effect of recording a real operation - trembling hands, sharp movements, and sudden shots leave no room for error. The shooting is deliberately rough and tough, where reaction and accuracy play a decisive role.
The developers specifically emphasize the presence of civilians. You can't just shoot at everything indiscriminately - every situation requires control. The video shows restaurants, nightclubs, narrow alleys, and rooftops of Hong Kong, looking almost photorealistic. The levels are linear and devoid of filler elements: only the goal, constant tension, and a sense of threat.
In terms of atmosphere, Better Than Dead echoes the aesthetics of "John Wick" and classic Hong Kong action films of the 80s and 90s.
