Evaluation
Nearly Dead - Live and Let Die launched at version 1.0 on November 21, 2023. After launch, the developer shipped two substantial updates: Update 1.1 on February 11, 2024 (new map selection system, new bosses, new traits) and Update 1.2 on August 26, 2024 (a new area with a survivor camp, new boss, new enemies, accessory swapping, save slots, and multiple gameplay additions). These two post-launch updates established a cadence of roughly 6 months between major content drops.
The last developer communication of any kind was the Update 1.2 post on August 26, 2024. As of October 1, 2026, that is approximately 25 months with no news posts, announcements, patches, or developer statements. The established cadence between major updates was roughly 6 months, meaning silence of 25 months is more than four times that interval — well beyond any reasonable expectation of a follow-up update. No future content has been announced, no roadmap exists, and the developer has not communicated any plans to continue updating the game. The pattern of updates has clearly ended.

About this game
"When you're surrounded by zombies...
For the best experience, online co-op play with friends is recommended.
In Nearly Dead: Live and Let Die, survivors venture out to explore other regions and gather valuable items by day, and fend off hordes of enemies seeking to invade their hideout by night.
This is a top-down hack-and-slash game in which players face off against the enemy hordes, combining a variety of active skills with dozens of traits and some 300 types of randomly acquired items. Protect yourselves against menacing enemies by exploring and growing with teammates, freely wielding never-before-seen weapons with a variety of patterns.
If you've survived long enough and become strong enough, you can visit new regions to fight boss battles or put an end to these fights.
Gameplay
You’ll need to explore by day to procure items from regions overrun by zombies. Different options are available each day, and players can vote to decide which region to explore.
At night, you’ll need to defend your hideout against rampaging enemy swarms.
You can get resources directly from enemies, but you may also need to disassemble unneeded items. Craft new weapons using these resources, or supply consumed weapons.
Main features:
Co-op: Play offline or together with up to 4 players.
Growth: You can strengthen your character by acquiring weapons, traits, and accessories and utilizing the synergy between them.
Customization: Customize your character with hundreds of possible outfits. You can also change the color of clothing."
