Night Slashers: Remake

This is a remake of a 1993 Arcade game with an extra character. Get it on sale under $2 because a playthrough is very short at around 45-50 minutes. It's a rather basic but decent beat 'em up with an horror theme and much more blood and gore than usual. Enemies fall into chunks, dissolve, get decapited, but it's cartoony and fast so not shocking for modern audiences. It controlled well and it seemed like there was a a lot of button mashing (which I enjoyed) with no skill, but at harder difficulties that won't save you. Running after the carriage while fighting werewolves was original and fun. Levels felt short, even too short, most clocking in at under 5 minutes. At least they didn't overstay their welcome and the pace was fast. For the graphics, it was weird. It felt as if something was wrong and amateurish, but I didn't hate them. Points for giving specific animations for enemies walking down the screen instead of just the usual left and ride side profiles. If you restart a level you only get the number of lives you had when you first got there, so you're better off going to the main menu and selecting the level where you were. Coop in Remote Play Together worked fine although th…

I mean it's an early 1990's B horror movie beat 'em up game... I wasn't expecting much. I was introduced to this game only a few years back, I didn't even know it existed, even in the emulation scene. The market for these types of games was over saturated in the later 80's and 90's so there are much better options like Final Fight, Knights of the Round, King of Dragons, Punisher, Altered Beast, Double Dragon... etc... so many to name. The original graphics are actually a lot better, the remake makes the art work look terrible. I dunno why they didn't include an option to turn it off... would have made for a better game. It's an A-typical beat 'em game... the move set is insanely limited, you do a 5 or 6 hit combo, you can jump kick. The gimmick is that you can ground pound certain low tier enemies in to the ground and "bury" them and then stomp on their heads. The entire game is weird and cringy. There's a secret right in the first level that literally leads no where. You fight a unique enemy that explodes when killed only in this specific section. It does absolutely nothing for the player other than sets them back right at the beginning of the game with no extra lives or boosts…

Good beat 'em up! I think it is definately better than the OG.

This is basically the original Data East arcade game from 1993 but with updated graphics to look more comic book-like, adding one new playable character so it supports 4-player multiplayer, and completely overdoing it on the blood & gore for the sake of overdoing it (the arcade original actually had greenish-turquoise-colored blood though). And unnecessarily cheesy voices that quickly get repetitive. They also took a 3-button game and made it 4 buttons just because. Finally, this game is much easier than the original in part because the super attacks drain A LOT LESS life than in the arcades. It's also a short game, easily beatable in about 45 minutes. Like this developer's The House Of The Dead remakes, essentially they gave it an HD coat of paint and turned it into more of a fanfic game than a remake. If you liked the original game like me, wait until it goes on at least a 50% off sale before thinking about it. If you never played it, find it and, until you try it, don't bother with this one. At least the original arcade soundtrack is available, not a fan of the remake version here. Great looking game but not a great remake. I appreciate the developer making the efforts with the…

A Fun Modern Take on a Horror Beat ’Em Up Night Slashers Remake succeeds in bringing one of the most underrated arcade beat ’em ups to a new generation. The core gameplay is still incredibly fun, and the remake adds enough new features to keep both newcomers and longtime fans entertained. The 4-player co-op is easily one of the best additions. Fighting through hordes of monsters with four players is absolute chaos in the best way possible, making every stage feel more exciting and encouraging replayability. The updated soundtrack is another major highlight. The new arrangements give the game a fresh identity while still fitting the horror atmosphere perfectly. The music keeps the action moving and complements the remake’s modern presentation. I also really enjoyed the Custom Game options. Being able to tweak different gameplay settings adds a lot of replay value and lets you tailor the experience however you want, whether you’re looking for a casual run or something much more challenging. That said, the remake isn’t perfect. Some of the character animations feel a bit janky, especially during certain attacks and movement, making the game feel less polished than it could have b…
