About The Dishwasher: Vampire Smile

✦ AI summary

The Dishwasher: Vampire Smile is a brutal 2D action platformer where you play as either a vengeful reanimated samurai or a cyborg prisoner tearing through society's elite in a blood-soaked rampage. This combo-driven slash-fest dazzles with its gritty graphic novel aesthetic and visceral, fast-paced combat that rewards stylish kills over cautious play.

Three marks remain.

Embark on a blood soaked quest of vengeance as either Yuki, a machine-armed, mentally unraveling prisoner, or The Dishwasher, a relentless, reanimated samurai, against the corrupted leaders of society: the Banker, the General, and the Judge.

The followup to 2009's Dead Samurai, The Dishwasher: Vampire Smile is a combo-fueled, fast-paced, stylistic 2D action platformer that features the series' staple gritty, graphic novel-inspired art style, built on a new engine that allows for an even more visually gruesome experience.

Originally released in 2011 on Xbox360.

✦ AI summary

The Dishwasher: Vampire Smile is a lightning-fast, gory 2D hack-and-slash action game that delivers intense, brutal combat with stylish movement and a gritty aesthetic that players consistently praise. While the story is generic and the game's difficulty can be punishing early on, the tight gameplay and satisfying combat mechanics click into place as you learn them, creating an exhilarating experience that fans of fast-paced action games highly recommend.

One of my favorite games I've ever played, it is a lightning-fast, gorey and frenetic experience from start to finish. It can be brutally difficult but as you learn it more and more, things just naturally click into place and you become nearly unstoppable. I would recommend it to anyone who is a big fan of hack & slash games, gritty artstyles, or feeling unstoppable in a game.

The Dishwasher - I've been looking forward to writing that one. If gritty, grungy and gory 2D action with badass movements is your thing, step right in. Despite its name, dishwasher is anything but a clean experience. Get ready to not see combat half of the time because of the sheer amount of blood and explosions. Does it matter? Let me propose a better question - scissor swords? Scissor. Swords. Why? Wrong question. Dishwasher. Dishwasher will throw you around a dark space environment while having you question morality, humanity, and why you're even doing this in the first place, all of that cradling a story about power and manipulation. It keeps you on your toes, and it knows exactly how. If this is your first Ska Studios Game- don't make it your last, because not a single title they released has disappointed me in it's characteristic, grit-grunge aesthetic and uncompromising gameplay. The pricing is a joke as well - if this just halfway looks like something for you, you really won't regret it.\ 9/10 because i genuinely wish there was more.

Game does scream very "Goth" and "Emo" like, with plot being the same But its 2011 so I can't really complain + The plot isn't down right BAD, its just too cliche/generic, which isnt all too bad for a GAME, because gameplay is rad. Gameplay is nothing too shaby, just simple and cool. If only I could make a refund and buy this game at full price
