Dive back into a world of gore, monsters, and relentless action with Night Slashers: Remake, the highly anticipated return of the classic arcade beat 'em up! Originally released by Data East in 1993, the franchise captivated players with its unique blend of horror themes, intense combat, and unforgettable characters. Now, this cult classic has been reimagined for a new generation, bringing all the blood-soaked thrills to modern platforms. Night Slashers: Remake immerses players in a nightmarish world where humanity’s last hope rests in the hands of four elite fighters: Jake Hunter, a cyborg monster hunter from America; Christopher Smith, a European vampire hunter; Hong Hua Zhao, an Asian martial arts expert; and Liu Feilin, a Chinese opera sensation who brings her unique skills to the battle. Together, they must fight through an army of undead, mutants, and supernatural creatures to save the world from the brink of apocalypse. ------- Key Features: Classic Beat 'Em Up Gameplay: Night Slashers: Remake stays true to its roots, offering classic side-scrolling beat 'em up action reminiscent of genre-defining games like Streets of Rage and TMNT: Shredder's Revenge. Players will battle through multiple levels, including one secret stage, each culminating in a showdown with a powerful boss. Four Playable Characters: Choose from three unique characters from the classic version of the game, plus an additional character added in the remake! Local Multiplayer for Up to Four Players: You don’t have to face the restless hordes of the undead alone—team up with up to four players in local multiplayer mode, where each player controls a different character with an extensive set of moves. Advanced Combat Mechanics: Master a variety of combat options, including combos, jump attacks, grappling moves, and running strikes. Each character also has devastating special moves that can turn the tide of battle—at the cost of some of their own health. Spectacular Screen-Clearing Attacks: When the situation gets dire, unleash a powerful screen-clearing attack that decimates all enemies in sight. These attacks come with a significant health cost, but the carnage they unleash is well worth the sacrifice. Diverse and Horrifying Enemies: Face off against an army of the undead, including zombies, mutants, werewolves, and other nightmarish creatures. Each level is packed with terrifying foes and iconic horror-themed bosses like Dracula, mummies, golems, and Frankenstein's monster. Unique Horror Theme: Night Slashers: Remake stands out with its grim, horror-infused world. The game features atmospheric music and cartoon-style gore that will delight fans of classic horror movies and games alike. Additional Custom Modes: In the Remake version, you can set your own rules for the game beyond the classic difficulty levels. Time limits? Exploding corpses? It's all here. But are you brave (or crazy) enough to try it? Night Slashers: Remake is more than just a trip down memory lane - it’s a blood-soaked celebration of everything that made the original game a cult favorite. With updated visuals, enhanced gameplay, and new content, this remake is set to thrill both longtime fans and newcomers to the genre.
