Goichi Suda, or Suda51 as he’s otherwise known, creates games that never really have mass-market appeal, but always generate a cult of fans. He’s the poster-boy for alternative big-budget games, games that revel in self-awareness, and games that ask nothing more of you than to be played and enjoyed. A glance over his back catalogue just shows how creative the man is, producing the detective game Flower, Sun and Rain, the dark and disturbing on-rails shooter Killer 7 and the action-heavy twisted joy-fest that was Lollipop Chainsaw. Now, his newest game Killer Is Dead comes along to not only wrap up his ‘Killers’ trilogy, but to provide a culmination of his talents.
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?
