Night Slashers: Remake confirmed for Switch
Today, publisher Forever Entertainment and developer Storm Trident confirmed plans to release Night Slashers: Remake on Switch. The two sides did not provide a release window.
Night Slashers: Remake was actually first announced in 2021, but Forever Entertainment was keeping quiet on which platforms it would be supporting until now. This will be a new version of the 1994 beat ’em up game with updated visuals, gameplay, and sound.
Here’s a bunch of additional information:
Night Slashers is a pulse-pounding, horror-themed beat ’em up game, in a nightmarish world filled with bloodthirsty creatures and unspeakable horrors. Prepare to step into the shoes of the unlikely heroes, as they battle hordes of supernatural foes and terrifying monsters.
In Night Slashers, you’re not just fighting for survival: you’re battling to save the world from a supernatural apocalypse. Join the fight, experience the adrenaline, and embrace the horror. Your darkest nightmares await…
Night Slashers, a classic arcade game originally developed by DATA EAST in 1994, still stands as one of the best titles in the beat ’em up genre to this day! The gameplay consists of seven distinct stages, each subdivided into multiple sections. You can advance by navigating from left to right within each stage, combating waves of enemies to progress.
Attempting to proceed further without eliminating foes halts the screen’s scroll until all the threats are dealt with. Upon reaching the end of each level, a climactic showdown with a formidable boss awaits. Achieve victory over the boss to advance.
