Absurdity and madness, what else can be said about the game Lollipop Chainsaw? Probably nothing. This project mixes everything possible, and in this "cocktail" there are elements that are simply incompatible. Can you mix zombies and pop music? At first glance, no, but Suda51 will prove you otherwise.
Absurdity is the foundation of this game
Lollipop Chainsaw is simply soaked in craziness. Let's start with the fact that the main character is a cheerleader named Juliet Starling. But not only does she dance with pom-poms, she is also a hereditary zombie hunter and has just turned eighteen. And now, as an adult girl, she decides to visit her boyfriend in San Romero, but it so happens that instead of her boyfriend, she finds an army of walking corpses there. What else can she do? Run away? No, she grabs her chainsaw, decorated with hearts, and goes to slice through the risen dead.
To save you, I need to cut off your head
Alright then. We fought through hordes of the undead and finally found our heroine's boyfriend, but there's another problem—he's infected with the virus. To prevent him from turning into a zombie, Juliet takes her chainsaw and chops off her boyfriend's head. Surprisingly for the players, the head continues to live, even talks, and will be our companion throughout the game. I might be wrong, but I think this is a bit over the top. As for the battles with zombies, not only is the chainsaw used, but also pom-poms, and Juliet uses her acrobatic skills during fights. It's during these stunts that Juliet shows herself in all her glory. Well, if you know what I mean. Of course, there will be gamers who want to peek under our heroine's short skirt, but there are two obstacles: inconvenient camera controls and Juliet's slender arm covering her backside. However, as mentioned before, during Juliet's acrobatic stunts, one might catch a glimpse of what she so carefully hides.
Um, where's the blood?
The game is filled with vulgar humor, spicy scenes, and strange bosses who are very fond of music and deliver true musical masterpieces during battles. For the game bosses, music is the main weapon. They don't attack us head-on; they simply shout some obscene words, and if we don't dodge their sound waves in time, Juliet will suffer. There's another feature in the game, or rather, the absence of it. The game has very little blood. When you chop off a zombie's head, a fountain of red liquid doesn't gush out; instead, a stream of stars and hearts does. Yeah, "classic zombie shooter." As for the graphics, the game is quite good in this regard. But honestly, this game is a parody of American pop culture with all its components, so if you're not a seeker of hidden meanings, it's better to pass this game by. However, for everyone else, I recommend experiencing this madness at least once.
