Every medium has its cult favourite, its bad boy auteur who may not be the most popular creator around, but has a unique vision that rallies a small, but devoted following. For gaming, Suda 51 is one of those auteurs.
Since his breakout game in 2005, Killer 7, the bizarre sensibilities of this Japanese developer have been slowly gaining traction with the niche interest groups. Killer Is Dead, slated for release later this summer, is another addition to his growing pile of eccentricity. XSeed Games had the latest build of the game available for play at E3, and we managed to get in some decent playtime with it.
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?
