10 Failed PS2 Games That Became Cult Classics
7. Killer 7
Suda-51 is one of the most interesting and eclectic voices in the game industry, with all of his games containing a fun mix of offbeat Japanese and American pop culture. And the first time we westerners were made aware of his weirdness was in the cult classic Killer 7.
Describing Killer 7 is a testament to how insane it is, because your explanation will always contain at least one "oh but wait-" because there's ALWAYS something more to add. This game is legitimately insane. It starts on the note of "7 highly trained assassins all trapped in the same brain" and then keeps going until that note sounds positively sane and reasonable.
Frankly, this game was destined to be a cult classic, even if it did sell well, which it didn't. Its eccentric nature means that only a select kind of person would vibe with it enough to get into it.
With games like Lollipop Chainsaw and No More Heroes, Suda-51 would find more success, but Killer 7 is still remembered, because really, how can you forget something like this?
