RePOP is a definitive remake version of Lollipop Chainsaw which leaves the story unchanged, with the focus on quality-of-life improvements and additional gameplay content.
Watch Juliet, a descendant of zombie hunters, as she fights alongside her boyfriend and family to stop a zombie apocalypse starting in her high school in “Juliet’s 18th Birthday.”
As mentioned, there will be quality of life improvements. They are listed below:
● The resolution of the game has been increased to full HD, and load times have been
greatly shortened.
● The chainsaw action has been sped up with the introduction of the Chained Hits
Hunting system, in which chaining multiple hits in succession increases the player’s
attack speed.
● The input timings for Combo Actions have been adjusted, to better fit players’
expectations.
● Chainsaw Blaster action has been improved with the addition of auto-lock and auto-
fire modes that can be toggled, and an increased maximum ammo count of 99.
● The player can now immediately use Combo Actions at the start of the game.
Additional gameplay content will feature a “RePOP mode”, which essentially uses a unique and colorful pop art-inspired art style for damage effects. More content are listed below:
● Unique new chainsaws with distinctly different features have been added.
● There are 30 costumes, more than the original game’s costume count. Combined
with the addition of 4 new hair colors and 4 new chainsaws, this adds up to 750
different possible combinations.
● JULIET’S ROOM has been expanded with more features.
● A Time Attack mode with ranking feature has been added.
