Such a bizzare and vulgar game by SUDA51, yet I enjoyed it. The only thing this game lacks is vertical gameplay, but that's just my opinion.

Stylish action game by SUDA51 with cool protagonist, hot babes and absolute schizo-kino story? Sign me in.

Buyer beware on this recommendation. By default this game runs at 1080p, 30 fps max. It is possible to exceed these limits by making some simple changes to text files in the game directory, but doing so comes with caveats. See the PC Gaming Wiki page for this game for details. I was able to play through it well enough at 1440p, 90fps and didn't encounter anything game breaking. It looked and played amazingly at these settings. Technical issues aside, I really enjoyed this game. Killer 7 is one of my favorite games of all time, but I did not like No More Heroes. This game feels like a compromise between the two, offering a lot of that Killer 7 style and flare with tighter action gameplay and a more concise design than No More Heroes. I cannot state enough how much I love the unique weirdness of Grasshopper's artwork and this game has a ton of it. I played on Hard which was just about perfect. Not too easy and not too frustrating. The game's length and progression are limited with a small list of upgradable character attributes, but overall this is probably a positive thing because it keeps the game from overstaying its welcome.

I'd say it's a 10/10 for me. Perfectly absurd story loving it so far. You just need to change the entry in KidEngine.ini file then the crashes should be fixed.

I played this in the Steam Deck, had to edit the engine.ini and then run it with proton experimental to stop it from crashing every 20 minutes. Technical issues issues aside, a absolutely loved this game. The combat was really cool and I like Suda51's work in general.
