Slasher: Origins

Slasher: Origins is a 2.5D auto-attack survival game with rogue-lite elements and noir-anime storytelling. You choose heroes, build combinations of abilities and try to survive the escalating inferno of Mephistopheles’ underworld.

Heroes and progression

The game has 10 heroes, each with a distinct backstory, abilities and playstyle. You start with three and unlock the others as you progress. Every hero has a unique starting weapon, and their weapons and abilities evolve as they level up.

During runs, you collect Experience and Gems to empower your heroes. Level-ups unlock skills, weapons and abilities, letting you create different builds to withstand demonic forces. You can also unlock and equip hero skins, and use powerful Animated Ultras, cinematic finishing moves that devastate enemies.

Dark worlds

You face eight increasingly difficult worlds, each guarded by a powerful boss. The worlds grow more perilous as you advance, requiring smart build tactics and precise movement timing to survive.

Procedural runs

Levels are procedurally generated, and the combination of levels, hero builds and increasing challenges means runs vary. You can return to unlock more characters, worlds and abilities, and test how far you can get.

Art style

The game combines stylized anime aesthetics with dark, moody film-noir tones. Its worlds are vivid, ominous landscapes with a haunting atmosphere.
