Gameranx: "Grasshopper Manufacture and Suda 51 tell a long story about nothing."
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?
Suda51 can't get a break.
Great game, totally underrated outside of Japan. Famitsu gave it 9,9,8,9! I've played a few hours and am inclined to agree with them. This game is only for those who crave Japanese styled swordplay with Suda51's quirky humor. It's totally for me because I loved Killer 7, and both No More Heroes. I will say that I'm a little disappointed with the screen tearing, however the game is real fun despite its simplistic controls and technical shortcoming, and it also looks beautiful. This is nothing new, both Americans and most Westerners have a way different taste than the Japanese or Asian market. I for one appreciate how different and unique these games are from the typical FPS, totally a breath of fresh air.
The replay value for me was getting the Ulti-Mondo costume and the Dark Booster, playing on both Hard and Very Hard modes to score bigger payouts to get them sooner.
