The first thing you’ll notice about Lollipop Chainsaw is how much it resembles Suda51’s title, No More Heroes – and that’s a compliment.
Your job is to decapitate, eviscerate, and otherwise rip apart the undead plague infesting San Romero High School. When the barrier between the human world and the Rotten World breaks, demons, zombies, and all various flavors of crazy are unleashed. From the mind of Goichi Suda, the same mind that brought you oddities like Killer7, Flower, Sun, and Rain, and No More Heroes, we get Lollipop Chainsaw – the story of a cheerleader named Juliet Starling who uses an oversized chainsaw (with hearts on it, of course) to fight the risen dead ex-classmates of her California high school. Mosquito, Sneak King, and even Custer’s Revenge are just some of the eccentric titles to have graced a console or PC of mine, but nothing beats this.
I’ve played some strange games in my time.
