Story Juliet's nondescript California High School Released on June 12th, 2012 in the U.S., and June 15th, 2012 in Europe. The game is being published by Kadokawa Games in Japan and WB Games throughout the U.S. Lollipop Chainsaw is being coined as the spiritual successor to Grasshopper's previous over-the-top hack-and-slash franchise, No More Heroes. I give it a 2 instead of 1 only because it wasn't too broken to beat.Lollipop Chainsaw is a pop-inspired, third-person action game developed by Grasshopper Manufacture, with Suda 51 as its director, in conjunction with Hollywood writer/director James Gunn. People do a lot of heaby lifting with cope in their positive regard for this schlock.

It's obnoxious as hell that people try to position this game as some sort of slept on subversive feminist work of art. I like SUDA51 stuff and media that shrugs off wariness of the male gaze, but this game did nothing but make me resent having played it. This is tripe that gets graded on a curve because of the quirky gimmick concept that is one ply tissue thin. This isn't Faster Pussycat or Beyond the Valley of the Dolls. The game ends with the most played out style of final boss and a sequence of QTEs that are immediate deaths if you fail ( restarting a drawn out boss encounter from the beginning.) James Gunn mentioned Russ Meyer as a reference point for the type of female sexploitation figure Juliet is supposed to be.

I would complain that it was a ridiculously short game, but I'm glad there wasn't more of it to play because it quickly became a chore. The fanservice cheesecake elements are tepid and add no aesthetic value. The attempt at being edgy with the dialogue is corny and feels like a boomer wrote it. The plot and stage design is weak and uninspired. This game gets wayyyy too much of a pass.
