Stupid Never Dies is by far a great game to play. For GPTRACK50 Inc‘s first game, they hit it out of the park. This game was something that I felt the gaming industry has been slightly doing but too afraid to do themselves. Yet, we have a game whose personality is everywhere and there is almost no limit to what we can do. If this is what we should expect from them, I can’t wait what their next game is going to be like. I give Stupid Never Dies the Thumb Culture Platinum Award

The character designs for Davy's transformations are an absolute delight.

But it also has a lot of cringey plot points and jokes, repetitive and slow progression, and an awful timer system. I wish I could have enjoyed the positive aspects more, without the other cruft getting in the way.

I could spend a lot of time dissecting the nitty-gritty systems that make a combat system feel competent or not, but it wouldn’t begin to describe the intangible discomfort of playing Stupid Never Dies.

As it stands, though, it’s like a meal that starts out excellent, but by the end, you’re reaching for a pack of Pepto-Bismol.

Stupid Never Dies is a highly recommended experience for any fan of hack-and-slash games , unadulterated action, and lovestruck, goofy zombies.

Stupid Never Dies isn't perfect, but it's an incredible charming debut release from GPTRACK50 Inc. that is absolutely packed full of personality.

Stupid Never Dies is an adrenaline rush, something that explodes with colors and silliness and action and pizazz, but doesn’t really aim higher than junk food.

Stupid Never Dies doesn't break any new ground, but what is here is passable, quirky fun. The game's style will win over some fans, even if it's been done plenty of times before. Games like this are the antidote to no-risk genre hegemony.

Stupid Never Dies is a game I am glad exists. In a sea of the same slop over and over, I love a good curveball.

Stupid Never Dies is an eccentric, punk-rock action roguelite that combines a wild story with fast-paced gameplay. While it takes a while for the experience to come into its own, as the first five-to-seven hours feel clunky and overly restrictive, pushing past the slow onboarding reveals a gameplay loop that stays fun for its 20 hours duration, although some design choices will inevitably put some people off.

Stupid Never Dies is an acquired taste, but its lurid aesthetic and unhinged storytelling at least gives it a bit of personality in a crowded market.As a roguelite, it's got a good power curve and enough mechanics to keep you coming back, although sometimes its systems and narrative can get in the way of letting you just play the game.It's difficult to stand out in this genre these days, but GPTRACK50 has done enough here to deliver an experience that feels fresh – despite its underlying similarities to other titles in the genre.

While developer GPTrack50's debut title has its share of faults, this roguelite action RPG's art direction is such a tour de force that it drives the entirety of the charming, irreverent atmosphere that hearkens back to the late 90s / early 00s.

Stupid Never Dies has fantastic style and the mindless hack-and-slash gameplay of a PS2 classic, but with all the modern QoL changes we expect in 2026.

Stupid Never Dies pairs stylish, fast-paced combat with a punky aesthetic, but a heavy dose of feature creep and poor player feedback threaten to upend the fun.

Stupid Never Dies is a tale as old as time: you play as the hapless undead, Davy, a low-ranking zombie who happens to fall in love with a girl named Julia.

Stupid Never Dies does dungeon crawling differently by way of its power-swapping zombie hero. The flashy, bizarre package housing this quirky jaunt does contain familiar structures and bouts of frustration but a constant energy keeps it engaging.

While *The Fool Never Dies* boasts many brilliant ideas, its overly retro, unfriendly, and contradictory designs make for a disappointing gameplay experience.

Review: An action RPG with roguelike elements, GPTRACK50's Stupid Never Dies is mostly stupid in the right ways.
