"Make one odd game and the gaming community will be surprised that something unique has been released. Make a number of them and that is what gamers come to expect and after games such as Killer7, No More Heroes, Shadows of the Damned and Lollipop Chainsaw hit store shelves, everyone is keeping an eye out on Grasshopper Manufacture’s latest game Killer is Dead. Now with XSEED Games bringing the game to store shelves, is Killer is Dead everything that gamers have come to expect from the mind of Suda51?"
Killer is Dead arrived a decade ago, and despite not receiving a sequel stands-up as a unique work from SUDA 51.
Goichi Suda (Aka Suda 51) is a peerless developer, renowned for the making of some of the most unique games. Here are the best ones to date.
Peerless?
I’ve always heard his games have repetitive portions. I appreciate unique and creative games, but repetition dilutes even the greatest games (ie Arkham Asylum).
Shadows of the damned was pretty wild. That and lollipop chainsaw are the only ones ive played but I’d give it to SoTD.
During a panel at Momocon, Grasshopper Manufacture founder Goichi "Suda51" Suda talked about possible Switch ports of his games.
He should. Although I'd like to see something new from him. Or how about Shadows of the Damned 2?
Thank god the combat works. Seems like a typically crazy Suda51 game.
Cool review, combat seems similar to lollipop chainsaw which was a fun game while it lasted. I think I'll wait for this to drop in price though.
