Better Than Dead Expands Its Hong Kong Action Rampage with Three New Missions

Arriving today, Update 0.500 completes the game’s first full run. Watch the new trailer.

MicroProse announces that Better Than Dead, the single-player bodycam FPS inspired by Hong Kong action cinema, will receive its biggest update since Early Access today. Accompanied by a new trailer, Update 0.500 adds three missions that complete To Hell, the game’s first full run. To mark the release, the game will be available at 20% off on Steam.

Set in 1990s Hong Kong, the new missions take players through a nightclub’s cramped corridors, a sprawling restaurant shootout where tables and furniture splinter under fire, and an unfinished construction site filled with exposed concrete and scaffolding.

The update also makes firefights more intense, with enemies advancing with weapons raised and firing on the move, improved ragdoll physics and bullet impact reactions, and new sound effects with improved sound propagation.

All three missions are replayable through Level Select, giving players fresh challenges to master and new opportunities to chase the Black Star rank.
