What's this game even about? - Romeo is a Deadman #1

What happens when Suda51 and Grasshopper Manufacture dive fully into a brand new idea? In this video essay, we discuss their latest release in Romeo Is A Dead Man, Grasshopper's first brand new IP in years. From Romeo Stargazer's blood soaked interdimensional odyssey to the game's wild shifts between hack-and-slash action, Anime-esq Cutscenes, and everything in between, we break down how this might be the purest expression of Suda51's creative vision yet and some of my own personal gripes with it. Grab a coffee and settle in, let's discuss the weirdness and see if we can gain some enlightenment along the way.
