The remastered version of the 2012 action-adventure hit, Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP, is gearing up for another update, this time introducing a challenging 'Nightmare Mode'.  This news follows the recent addition of a photo mode and demonstrates Dragami Games' ongoing commitment to enhancing the player experience.

Having shipped over 200,000 units in its first three months, the remaster has revived the cult classic status of the original. The game's blend of hack-and-slash combat and the quirky charm of protagonist Juliet Starling remain key attractions.  Dragami Games has not only revitalized the visuals but also implemented several quality-of-life improvements since taking over development.

The 'Nightmare Mode' announcement, made by Game Designer Yoshimi Yasuda on Twitter, promises a significant increase in difficulty.  More details about the mode are expected next week, adding to the anticipation. This continued support is welcome news for fans, who have praised Dragami Games for their dedication to improving the game.

While the remaster has received positive feedback for retaining the game's core charm and absurd story, it hasn't been without criticism. Concerns regarding optimization issues and the absence of much of the original soundtrack have been raised by some players.  However, the introduction of features like photo mode and now 'Nightmare Mode' demonstrates a commitment to addressing player feedback.

Despite the ongoing updates to Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP, original game director Goichi 'Suda51' Suda has not been involved in the remaster project. Suda has expressed interest in reviving other titles, including Killer7, and is currently working on the upcoming game Hotel Barcelona.
