While jewels add to your score counter, food replenishes your health (represented by a blow-torch bar at the top of the screen). Like in most brawlers, the characters can pick up various items like jewels, food or weapons. Gameplay mechanics and the controls are simple and intuitive (see controls tab below). If you choose the later, a minimalistic character selection dialogue lets you reconsider your original character choice. When a character dies, a ten second countdown starts, giving you the choice to either start all over or continue from the point where you’ve died. The completion of a stage is time limited and should the countdown timer run out completely, you die. The goal is to get through several levels split into two or three sections each, and defeat the boss at the end of the each stage.

The game features three playable characters, and up to three players can play simultaneously on a single machine. Night Slashers is all about punching, kicking and stabbing zombies, mutants, werewolves and anything that comes into your way.

If you’re looking for a sensible story here, go somewhere else. Indeed, Night Slashers is a surprisingly good and addictive beat-em-up game that shouldn’t slip the attention of any serious retro-gamer, be it a fan of the genre or not. But, I was rather pleasantly surprised as to how good and satisfying it feels to play this game. Predator aside, you I’m not much of a brawler fan, and you all probably know that already.
