What if this game was called "Killer is Freaky" and, instead of killing demons, you have sex with random women, wait a minute...

Ladies and gentlemen, Suda 51 has made the most bad ass anime game ever and it was 7+ years ago. I took a trip back to my PS3 and hack and slashed my way into some tiddies.
Essentially you're a hired assassin who takes out targets that are reaking havoc on the world at large. From trains to alice in wonderland to a bunch of extra ass enemies spread across 12 story missions. The game is quite short but as all hack n slashes go, you will be replaying the whole game at least 3 more times for the platinum.
The story is simple at first glance but it is genuinely bonkers as shit. It's some extra level wild with what it's going for and I adore it. It's awesome seeing Japanese devs just do what they want to do and not live by the regular standards of modern AA and AAA games.
It's just a laughable riot as the main character Mondo delivers the most fantastical one liners as he slashes a fucking creature in half.
Suda and the team clearly had fun in making this story and I applaud them for that.
Gameplay itself is really fun which is good for a hack n slash. You dodge and parry, combo your way to delivering a powerful one hit kill move and it just feels so damn good. It's visually stunning as you slash one enemy, combo into the next and one hit kill the third all while looking like a bad ass.
My only complaint with the gameplay is the lack of a jump button. Ariel combos would have been awesome in this game and they could have done a lot to make it work but Mondo is a very grounded character. Instead of using ariel combos, flying enemies are taken out via his machine gun arm (yup) which makes for a decent shooting experience.
Aside from combat, the most controversial gameplay element is the missions where you are on a date with one of 4 ladies (DLC adds a 4th) and you basically stare at their tiddies until a meter fills up and then you give them a gift. After finishing the mission 3 times, you essentislly watch Mondo rail all these girls.
To be honest, I hate that this was controversial. It's a fictional game but of course people bring politics and real world logic to it.
It's just hilarious if anything. I can't even view it sexual because him staring at a womens legs and tiddies to increase his guts is hilarious to me rather than horny.
Overall this game is a riot, it was clearly made with passion and a genuine sense of humour.
I do wish their was ariel combos but ultimately, this game was just fun as fuck.

Killer Is Dead:Mondo's awakening

Mlk, esse aqui eu dropei... Quando vi o game eu me empolguei, parecia ter um bom protagonista (e de fato é), gostei dos gráficos cel shading, pensei que ia ser um jogão. A estética dos personagens, a ambientação, na verdade o conceito do jogo em si é muito bom, mas a mecânica de combate é preguiçosa, assim como o vai e vem desnecessário só pra encher linguiça, a gameplay é chata e enjoativa. Parece que foi feito nas coxa. Nem a soundtrack é memorável. Vou dar 1 estrela por reconhecer que foi uma boa ideia, que tinha potencial para ser algo muito maior. E também por ainda ter algumas coisas que foram legais de ver, como por exemplo, a forma como sua assistente o reanima quando você morre (acho que ver isso foi mais divertido do que a própria gameplay).
