Night Slashers: Remake

Night Slashers: Remake is a horror-themed beat ’em up in which you play as unlikely heroes fighting bloodthirsty creatures to stop a supernatural apocalypse. You battle through seven stages, each divided into multiple sections, moving from left to right and defeating waves of enemies. The screen stops scrolling until you eliminate all threats, and each level ends with a boss fight; defeating the boss lets you advance.

Playable characters

You can choose from four characters: three from the classic game and one added for the remake. In local multiplayer, up to four players can team up, each controlling a different character with an extensive set of moves.

Combat and enemies

You can use combos, jump attacks, grappling moves and running strikes. Each character has special moves that cost some of their health, as do powerful screen-clearing attacks that hit all enemies in sight.

The stages pit you against undead foes including zombies, mutants and werewolves, as well as other creatures. Horror-themed bosses include Dracula, mummies, golems and Frankenstein’s monster. The game features atmospheric music and cartoon-style gore.

Game modes

The remake includes one secret stage and custom modes that let you set rules beyond the classic difficulty levels, including time limits and exploding corpses.
