qureate has announced today that they will release the Steam version of the auto shooter game “Maid of the Dead” on March 1st for $20. During the first week after its release, it will be available for purchase at a launch price with a 10% discount.
In this intense action shooting game, players find themselves in a chilling Akiba, now a city besieged by zombies unleashed by a mysterious virus leak. With infected individuals turning into zombies in rapid succession, players assume the role of a heavily armed maid to eradicate the undead and bring back tranquility to Akiba.
Advancing through combat allows players to unlock skills that bolster their attack prowess. Furthermore, they can acquire valuable items using the points they accumulate. Through strategic utilization of these resources, players aim to achieve the status of the “ultimate maid.”
The Nintendo Switch edition launched earlier than expected on February 15th.
Reports indicate that the Steam version includes minor adjustments to the sound effects and voices utilized during the treatment of maids nearing zombification, which otherwise may suggest some minor form of censorship during the fanservice elements within Maid of The Dead.
As mentioned previously, Maid of The Dead incorporates a dress break mechanic during gameplay which is triggered when the player takes damage. Qureate is renowned for its fan service-oriented titles, and this game is no exception, featuring a variety of provocative CG artwork for players to enjoy.
Additionally, the game includes animated sequences depicting purification, where players administer medicine to revert a zombified maid back to human form.
If reports indicate adjustments to the audio during these sequences, it could suggest an effort to tone down any erotic elements. However, definitive judgment should be reserved until further confirmation.
If you’re skeptical, it might be prudent to opt for the Nintendo Switch version to enjoy Maid of The Dead without potential alterations, as its PC version will release on March 1st via the Steam Store for $20.
