Evaluation

killer7 is a PC remaster of the 2005 cult classic, released on Steam on November 15, 2018. The two DLC items available — a digital art booklet and a remastered soundtrack — both shipped on launch day and represent bonus media rather than game content expansions. No additional content DLC has been announced or listed. Post-launch, the developer has focused on technical improvements to the port itself. After an early subtitle patch in January 2019, a major quality-of-life update arrived on October 25, 2024, bringing remastered videos, graphical enhancements, controller improvements, and various bug fixes. A follow-up patch on November 7, 2024 addressed feedback from that update with further video playback refinements. These updates improve the fidelity of the existing game rather than adding new story content or gameplay expansions. There have been no announcements of upcoming DLC, expansions, or additional content, and no developer statements suggesting the game is receiving further development work. The store description frames killer7 as a classic being brought to PC, with no language indicating ongoing content additions. The game is best understood as a complete, finished product — a remaster that has been polished over time and now appears to have reached its final form as of November 7, 2024.

CHARACTER PROFILE


Harman Smith
The central character in this story. He is an elderly man of 65, physically dependent on his live-in nursing assistant. However, when aroused he shows his true colors as the "God Killer." His massive armor piercing rifle is one of his professional trademarks.
- Weapon: Armor piercing rifle

Garcian Smith
The leader of 7 different personalities and also a loyal servant of Haman. He's low-key and nothing's ever humorous to him. He uses his special telegnosis ability to search and destroy the Heaven Smiles that use optical camouflage.
- Weapon: Handgun with Silencer

Dan Smith
The most aggressive personality with the biggest attitude out of the 7. He's dressed cool with a suit and tie. No one will mistake him for a business man, at least not with his big revolver he carries all the time. There is hatred in his eyes. Some even say that if you stare into his eyes, you can see the devil.
- Weapon: Custom Magnum

Mask de Smith
A mysterious former professional wrestler, he managed to build quite a following with this unique blend of Lucha Libre and British Lancashire style wrestling. There are rumors of his rampaging maskless through the ranks of the No Holds Barred circuit as well. Just when he had been invited to New York to appear at the main event, he vanished without a trace. His specialty move is known as the Smith Special (usually referred to in wrestling circles as the "burning hammer.") His double grenade launchers pack a powerful punch and can fire normal, Electric, and Gravity grenades. Animals naturally flock to the young and kind-hearted Babyface.
- Weapon: Double Grenade Launchers

Coyote Smith
Like a venomous serpent, he's a cold-blooded personality. A Latino thug who knows his ways in the streets. Coyote is synonymous with the "art of lock-picking." He's a man who knows how to get things. It's this extraordinary skill that qualifies him as a member of the Smithe Alliance. Also worth mentioning is his ability to take lives brutally.
- Weapon: Custom Revolver

Kevin Smith
This albino man uses a knife as his weapon of choice. He can disappear into thin air by taking off his shades. He favors solitude over harmony. They say he's not a man of many words. But in actuality, no one has ever heard him speak. Some rumor that his voice can summon gods.
- Weapon: Knives/Throwing Knives

Kaede Smith
The only girl in the killer entourage. She summons hear deadly spirits by blasting out a shower of blood from her wrist. Because she lives a life so close to death, her ability to survive life-or-death situations is beyond that of any living man. Her specialty is long-range shooting. She's able to use a 2-step zoom when firing her weapon. On a personal level she's very passive and tends to keep her distance from others.
- Weapon: Automatic Pistol with Scope

Con Smith
The blind boy Con has exceptional hearing that allows him to visualize sounds. He also has an awesome rapid-fire ability. Another nice attribute is his super running speed that if he wanted could outrun almost any enemy. When he's asleep, he's just an average child. Nobody would suspect him of being an elite assassin.
- Weapon: Double Automatics

ENEMY PROFILE

Kun Lan
A parasitic avatar from Haman Smith's past. With the power of the gods, he brought forth the "Heaven Smile." His plan is to bring down the Federation of States.

Heaven Smile
Violent beings who exist through the hand of Kun Lan. Their sole mode of attacking is to get near their targets and blow themselves up. In urban camouflage, they are very difficult to spot with the naked eye.
