Sneak into a world of underground assassins as Harman Smith, a man who manifests 7 deadly personalities, the killer7. Take control of this distinct murderers' row as they hunt down the sinister Kun Lan to thwart his plan of world dominance.

13 years after its original release on GameCube and PlayStation 2, Capcom's wonderfully idiosyncratic cult classic shooter Killer7 is now available on Steam.

The result of that strange meeting of minds is one of the oddest, most wilfully abstruse titles ever to come from a major publisher.
