A year ago, Forever Entertainment announced Night Slashers: Remake, a modern remake of the classic Data East arcade beat 'em up. The remake will feature updated 2D visuals, a new playable character, and 4-player local co-op. The wait will soon be over because Night Slashers: Remake is due on consoles and Steam on September 26.
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 one additional character added in the remake! Team in up to four players 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, mummy, golem, 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 of the game despite of the classic difficulty levels. Time limits? Exploding corpses? - it's all here, but are you brave (or crazy), enough to try it?
