It brings a classic back to life in a wonderful way. But Killer7 is still not a game for everybody. Many will find it just too weird to truly enjoy, and will become frustrated by its unintuitive control scheme. Truly, Killer7 is a mad piece of work, and embracing it doesn’t come all that easily. Those who do open their arms for it though, will find themselves in for one hell of a wild ride.

Un buen primer paso esta historia, con una trama y personajes que son un guiño cómplice para el fan acérrimo de Assassin's Creed... Y otras sagas de Ubisoft. Sólo se le puede achacar su falta de novedad, pero "mas Odyssey" nunca es al malo en nuestro códice.

Even if I find myself in the middle with Killer7, I'd still recommend everyone give this a go. It may not be a game you need to finish, necessarily, but it's utterly unique and needs to be seen first hand. I don't think Suda hit his stride until his next title (No More Heroes), but you can see the seeds of greatness were planted with Killer7.

Killer7 is the kind of game that defines what a cult classic is. Off the wall story and characters which push the envelope far past what a lot of people are normally comfortable with combined with unique gameplay that may have some rough edges, but make up for them by feeling unique. This may be a remake of a under-performing console from over 10 years ago, but in today’s gaming market it looks and feels just as fresh as the day it was released. A game that not only deserved, but needed a port worthy of it, and I’m glad to say that it lives up to it.

Killer7 is available right now on Steam for an almost disgustingly cheap price! Do you think you will pick this title up, or did you play it back in 2005? Let us know in the comments, or on Twitter, and check back for more coverage of games like this and other Japanese titles!

Suda ist ein großer Bewunderer von Kafka. Daher bin ich nicht überrascht, dass sich Killer7 so kafkaesk anfühlt. Es lässt sich in verschiedene Richtungen interpretieren. Als Lebensweisheit, als politisches Statement, als Kommentar auf die Popkultur - die Lesarten sind vielseitig, und daraus zieht das Spiel viel von seinem Reiz.
