Night Slashers is a pulse-pounding, horror-themed beat ’em up game, in a nightmarish world filled with bloodthirsty creatures and unspeakable horrors. Prepare to step into the shoes of the unlikely heroes, as they battle hordes of supernatural foes and terrifying monsters.
In Night Slashers, you’re not just fighting for survival: you’re battling to save the world from a supernatural apocalypse. Join the fight, experience the adrenaline, and embrace the horror. Your darkest nightmares await…
Night Slashers, a classic arcade game originally developed by DATA EAST in 1993, still stands as one of the best titles in the beat ’em up genre to this day! Gameplay consists of seven distinct stages, each subdivided into multiple sections. You can advance by navigating from left to right within each stage, combating waves of enemies to progress.
Attempting to proceed further without eliminating foes halts the screen’s scroll until all the threats are dealt with. Upon reaching the end of each level, a climactic showdown with a formidable boss awaits. Achieve victory over the boss to advance.
Features:
- Classic Beat ‘Em Up Gameplay:
Night Slashers: Remake stays true to its roots, offering classic side-scrolling beat ’em up action reminiscent of genre-defining games like Streets of Rage and TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge. Players will battle through multiple levels, including one secret stage, each culminating in a showdown with a powerful boss.
- Four Playable Characters:
Choose from three unique characters from the classic version of the game, plus an additional character added in the remake!
- Local Multiplayer for Up to Four Players:
You don’t have to face the restless hordes of the undead alone—team up with up to four players in local multiplayer mode, where each player controls a different character with an extensive set of moves.
- Advanced Combat Mechanics:
Master a variety of combat options, including combos, jump attacks, grappling moves, and running strikes. Each character also has devastating special moves that can turn the tide of battle—at the cost of some of their own health.
- Spectacular Screen-Clearing Attacks:
When the situation gets dire, unleash a powerful screen-clearing attack that decimates all enemies in sight. These attacks come with a significant health cost, but the carnage they unleash is well worth the sacrifice.
- Diverse and Horrifying Enemies:
Face off against an army of the undead, including zombies, mutants, werewolves, and other nightmarish creatures. Each level is packed with terrifying foes and iconic horror-themed bosses like Dracula, mummies, golems, and Frankenstein’s monster.
Night Slashers: Remake stands out with its grim, horror-infused world. The game features atmospheric music and cartoon-style gore that will delight fans of classic horror movies and games alike.
- Additional Custom Modes:
In the Remake version, you can set your own rules for the game beyond the classic difficulty levels. Time limits? Exploding corpses? It’s all here. But are you brave (or crazy) enough to try it?
