Nothing about these DreamKiller screens makes any sense photo

In DreamKiller, you play as a psychiatrist who can cure her patients by entering their minds. Other things worth mentioning are the fact that you do so by blowing sh*t up with ridiculously huge guns, and the game is being made by Painkiller Overdose developer Mindware Studios.

I'd also like to point out how unintentionally funny the box art is (viewable in the gallery below). Looking at the protagonist, I can't help but immediately think "psychiatrist." It may sound as if I genuinely dislike the game, but that couldn't be further from the truth.

I love the fast-paced first-person shooter action of Painkiller, and based on these screens, DreamKiller will surely follow the same fun, albeit repetitive, formula. That said, if anyone attempts to charge a full $60 for this game, I'm not paying.

Painkiller was a wicked good time but as has been said $60 is asking a bit much.

i loved the first game, but overdose fell short of the mark for me in a couple of ways. i guess i'll check the reviews for this one, but i'm not holding my breath.

Is this a console exclusive? If it's for PC, I'll pick it up there at some point.

Maybe Steam will have some sort of sale early in its life to get people excited.

It would excite me.

I agree that 60 semolians is too high, but I also believe that the whole psycologist thing is a little goofy. I like the concept, but I don't know If I'll be into it if it takes itself too seriously.

I mean, that cover.

Oh my... That box art is awful. Like really, the character is poorly drawn in there, also she looks so much like a psychiatrist! Right you are, Jordan.

The cover art shows this "psychiatrist's" arms covered in tatts, but in the game her arms are clean. Wtf.

I'm really disappointed by the look of that main character. She needs glasses and a dress that leaves A LOT to the imagination.

It could have a really sweet multiplayer feature if two psychiatrist went through both sides of the brain. One half being with abstract and creative enemies, and the other being more stealth and puzzle solving. Whoever works through both first, wins. Beats the hell outta CTF on Halo IMHO.

I agree with you guys, the cover art isn't drawn very well. If someone could Photoshop a music controller in her hand, I could swear she was a Guitar Hero character. It's true, she does look like the most bad-ass doctor in psychiatry, think about this: Dead Rising cover = JOURNALIST.
