Lollipop Chainsaw is a 2012 action-adventure game developed by Grasshopper Manufacture. A collaboration between game designer Goichi Suda (also known by his nickname Suda51) and filmmaker James Gunn, the game was published in Japan by Kadokawa Games and internationally by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment.
Lollipop Chainsaw features Juliet Starling (voiced by Tara Strong in English and by both Eri Kitamura in the Xbox 360 version and Yoko Hikasa in the PlayStation 3 version in Japanese—with limited uncensored versions allowing the player to change between the two voices after completing the game once), a cheerleader zombie hunter fighting zombies in a fictional California high school.
Lollipop Chainsaw was released for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in June 2012. The game's reception was divided. Japanese critics praised the game's combo centered gameplay and the satirical storyline, while Western critics felt that the game's repetitious gameplay and crude storyline were detracting factors. Nonetheless, the game garnered a cult following and was a commercial success, selling over 1.24 million units by June 2024.
A remaster titled Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP was released for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S in September 2024, with versions for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One released in December 2024. A version for Nintendo Switch 2 will be released in March 2026.
