NeverDead

Much of the game is built around Bryce's immortality, an unusual trait for a game character. Even though his physical appearance can be wounded or eviscerated, he can never completely be destroyed. While Bryce attacks hordes of enemies using a variety of firearms along with a sword, and dodges, blocks, and performs evasive maneuvers, his main worry is keeping his limbs together. Because of attacks and explosions he often loses body parts that need to be walked or rolled over to reattach them to the body. When they cannot be found the limbs also grow back over time. With body parts missing, Bryce is often weakened and cannot perform certain actions.

When completely decapitated, players control the head and must roll back to the torso or wait for the entire body to regrow. At this point, Bryce becomes prone to death as small demonic creatures patrol the levels and consume body parts. When his head is swallowed, Bryce needs to complete a quick-time event to get out again or he will be consumed forever.

Removing body parts is sometimes needed to complete small location-based puzzles. Bryce also takes advantage of his immortality to set himself on fire to burn enemies or run electricity through his body as a conduit to stun foes. Players collect collectibles that are rewarded with experience points, which can be spent to acquire new skills or update existing ones.

Multiplayer is supported through several cooperative and competitive challenges, allowing players to join forces with friends to take down demons and complete objectives.
