Gi - XSeed Games came to play at E3 2013 with a playable demo of the latest SUDA 51 joint, Killer is Dead. In January, GungHo Entertainment announced the acquisition of Grasshopper Manufacture so Killer is Dead will be the last game from the house of Suda as a freelancing studio. While both XSeed and Grasshopper have had some acquisition/merger shake-ups since the game’s announcement in April, everything that XSeed has released about the game — from the surreal trailers to character art and screenshots — has been highly promising. While most gamers were lukewarm on Lollipop Chainsaw, fans of the developer felt encouraged by the Killer7 meets No More Heroes’ art style for Killer is Dead. The game is seemingly going back to the roots of what made Grasshopper and Suda 51′s game so memorable, iconic and unpredictable.
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?
