The game is set in the future and Mondo receives jobs to kill cyborgs and assassins.

Before each mission a brief overview of the objective is shown against a world map and in between the fighting there are often animated sequences that further the story.

Completing a main mission usually opens up several side missions.

The main character wields a katana called Gekkou with his right hand for attacks and to deflect bullets.

It absorbs bloods filling up a meter, enhancing Mondo's fighting ability.

Combos increase the attack speed and a moon slash can be performed as a powerful attack.

His left arm has a cybernetic enhancement and it is called Musselback.

Various operations can be performed with it and these require blood absorbed from enemies.

It is also used to solve puzzles and discover hidden areas, with four functions for the arm in total.

Mondo can turn it into a regular human hand to crack fingerprint codes or change it into a ranged sub weapon that shoots projectiles.

Separate buttons are used to block and dodge.

Defeated enemies leave behind body parts that recover health and blood.

Yellow moon crystals are collected to upgrade skills and health gems can level up the maximum health level.

About PlayStation 3

Released in 2006, the PlayStation 3 had a rocky start thanks to its high launch price but became known for its exclusive franchises and Blu-ray drive, which doubled as an early home theater upgrade for many households. PS3 collecting is still relatively young — most titles are inexpensive — but the console's digital PSN storefront closure risk has pushed more collectors toward physical copies specifically to preserve access.

Gamevaro tracks Killer is Dead [Premium Edition] (JPN) for PlayStation 3 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.

Adding Killer is Dead [Premium Edition] (JPN) to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PS3 release dates back to 2013.

Rarity & condition

Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Killer is Dead [Premium Edition] (JPN), suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common PlayStation 3 titles.

Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
