I was obsessed enough with this game to import a poster of it from the US. I own the hand in killer7 book, that I can't read bc it's in Japanese, the grasshopper artbook that thankfully got a translation and the OST that started me always perking up as soon as I know that Masafumi Takada did the score for a game.
I was a bit obsessed when the game came out.
Looking back at it and having played parts of it again two years ago, it lost a bit of it's charm for me.
I think I wouldn't like it as much if I had played it as an adult with the current state of games and esp indie games. Back then - for me at least - Killer7 was the word almost avant-garde game with it's weird graphics, antique railways-system-gameplay and confusing storyline.
But now there are more games like this or maybe it just feels like that too me I don't know.
I love it to bits and pieces but it is absolutely not for everyone and I get it when people don't like it. It's violent, it's confusing and definitely not easily accessible. Still glad it exists.

Well, from what I have played, this is a nice little venture, I guess. Definitely not THE best Suda 51 game. God, no. It's got some quirky(?) characters and unique, gun gameplay, but REALLY needs to knock it off with the puzzles. Overall, it's an enjoyable experience for normal gamers and ESPECIALLY Suda 51 enjoyers like yours truly.
Before playing it i was creeped off by this games metascore but when i started playing... damn this game is a masterpiece.
Constant mystery and interesting characters , insane art style and amazing visuals and pretty decent story. With his out of ordinary visuals this game is one of a kind.
i think everyone should try this masterpiece

A unique and immensely fascinating game that oozes style, for sure. However, I found the combat would get somewhat tiresome after a few hours of continuous play. It's not particularly challenging or exciting, since you're largely just shooting at the telegraphed weak points of upwards of 100+ braindead enemies per level. Luckily the bosses are usually quite interesting to make up for it.
I absolutely adore everything about this game's aesthetic and writing, despite the fact I only have a vague idea of what the fuck happened.
Unfortunately the actual gameplay doesn't resonate with me very much. It feels like a cross between a rail shooter and the puzzle solving of a Resident Evil game. This is not a combination that I think works especially well, I ended up getting lost and having to do a ton of backtracking for items which doesn't feel great in a shooter. Also the shooting kinda feels awful.
Overall though this is a super unique game that I'm sure I'll be thinking about and trying to interpret for a while, it's just not a game I want to actually play again anytime soon.

El 1er juego de Suda51 en ser traído a occidente en colaboración de Shinji Mikami (Resident Evil). Describirlo como "raro" sería quedarse muy pero muy corto.
Killer7 es de los juegos de disparos sobre rieles más únicos que he experimentado. Todo en este juego me vuela la cabeza: el gameplay, los personajes, la banda sonora, su historia de desarrollo... sin palabras.
Si algún día sale un Suda's Cut de Killer7 con todo el contenido que fue cortado del juego original juro que me apunto y lo compro a precio completo.
¡A SUS ÓRDENES MI GENERAL SUDA!
