Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP Sells Impressively

Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP's Resurgence: Over 200,000 Units Sold!

Released late last year, the Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP remaster has reportedly surpassed 200,000 units sold, demonstrating strong player demand despite initial technical hiccups and censorship controversies. This achievement showcases a successful revival for the cult classic action game.

Developed originally by Grasshopper Manufacture (known for the No More Heroes series), Lollipop Chainsaw is a vibrant hack-and-slash title where players wield a chainsaw as Juliet Starling, a cheerleader battling a zombie horde. While the original developers didn't helm the remaster, Dragami Games delivered a visually enhanced version with quality-of-life improvements.

This sales milestone, achieved across current and last-gen consoles plus PC, was announced by Dragami Games via a recent tweet. The game's popularity, several months after its September 2024 launch, is a significant accomplishment.

Celebrating Success: Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP's Sales Triumph

The game's narrative centers on Juliet Starling, a San Romero High cheerleader who discovers her zombie-hunting heritage when her school is overrun by the undead. Players engage in exhilarating hack-and-slash combat, reminiscent of titles like Bayonetta, utilizing Juliet's trusty chainsaw against hordes of zombies and unique bosses.

The original 2012 release on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 achieved even greater success, selling over one million copies. This initial popularity was likely fueled by the unique collaboration between renowned game designer Goichi Suda and James Gunn (Guardians of the Galaxy director), who contributed to the game's compelling storyline.

While future plans, including potential DLC or a sequel, remain unannounced, Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP's sales success bodes well for remasters of other niche titles. This positive trend is further supported by the recent release of Shadows of the Damned: Hella Remastered, another Grasshopper Manufacture title, on modern platforms.
