It was finally revealed via a trailer in early 2013 as being among XSEED’s newest titles to be published in North America. With our current console generation coming slowly to a close, this made it Grasshopper’s possible last title of this generation, among many, including: No More Heroes 1 and 2, Shadows of the Damned, Lollipop Chainsaw, and even Fatal Frame 4 (Also known as Zero: Tsukihami no Kamen in Japan) which they co-developed. The footage dazzled the audience, impressing many on account of Killer is Dead running on the (now considered dated) Unreal 3 engine and looking quite beautiful with its creative use of cel-shading and color palette. Anticipation among the hardcore crowd was running high, on account of the genre slowly becoming more and more irrelevant in our current marketplace. While not exactly being a Suda51 game, he was a part of its development, especially in the writing department. So how does it stack up compared to other Grasshopper titles this generation?"
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?
