In our authentic evaluate of Lollipop Chainsaw, we gave the sport a 5 out of 10, saying, “Lollipop Chainsaw doesn’t even try and differentiate itself from the style, and most of what it does strive new within the realm of its characters and writing finally finally ends up taking away from an incredible-on-paper motion recreation.”
Regardless of our reservations about Lollipop Chainsaw, the sport has garnered cult traditional standing amongst players with an affinity for the hack-and-slash style. Hopefully, RePop will resonate with gamers the identical method the unique recreation did.
