The briefing

About this game

Killer7 is a hybrid action, adventure, shooter, and puzzle game set in an alternate early-21st-century history. After the world’s nuclear arsenals are destroyed in the name of peace, attacks by the virus-afflicted terrorist group Heaven Smile threaten international institutions and deepen tensions between the United States and Japan.

The player controls Killer7, a team of assassins led by the wheelchair-bound Harman Smith. Harman can transform into seven distinct assassin personalities, each with specialized abilities. Garcian serves as the group’s leading persona, while the team also includes the marksman Dan, thief Coyote, fast-moving blind assassin Con, ranged fighter Kaede, heavily armed Mask, and invisible albino Kevin.
