Slashing Night

Slashing Night is a fast-paced action game built around chaining ground and aerial combos. You switch weapons in real time, use skills and movement abilities to keep attacks flowing, and choose from three difficulty levels.

Weapons and combos

The current weapons are the Katana, Martial Arts and Scythe for melee, and the Revolver for ranged attacks. The game has around 40 skills, including Jump Cancel (stepping on an enemy in midair), double jump, teleport and aerial dodge. You can consume energy to use high-damage skills, and aerial attacks make it easier to raise your damage rate.

Combat systems

Combining different weapons and skills builds a damage rating, increasing your damage up to x1.5. The Magic Shield works like an instant parry: it cannot be activated preemptively, but using it just before a hit slows nearby enemies. Perfect Dodge also slows surrounding enemies, but only activates when you dodge right before being hit; a regular dodge does not trigger it.

Stages and enemies

The game currently has four stages, with a final version planned to have five. It includes six enemy types and offers about 120 minutes or more of playtime.
