Un picchiaduro “a là Final Fight” in salsa horror sembra la ricetta perfetta per il successo. Purtroppo il remake di Night Slashers è un prodotto poco raffinato che solo in alcuni elementi sembra allontanare la pigrizia con cui è stato sviluppato. Un combat system più corposo e l’aggiunta di un nuovo personaggio giocabile non bastano per bilanciare un comparto grafico deludente e alcuni problemi di natura tecnica. Nonostante tutto ciò, giocarlo in modalità cooperativa in quattro è ancora piuttosto divertente.
Daniele Cucchiarelli · Oct 09, 2024 Reviewed on PS5Read full reviewAnd so whilst Night Slashers: Remake is not the greatest beat ’em up in history, it does have a good shot at being one of the only horror-themed side-scrolling fighters on the market. If you fancy punching a vampire in the face, this is the game for you.
Paul Renshaw · Oct 02, 2024 Reviewed on Series X|SRead full reviewNight Slashers: Remake is a romp all unto itself, and has some earnest potential in a decent remake category. The difficulty levels give plenty of replay to what would otherwise be a very short brawler, the customized game mode lets you finesse how hard you want it to be (exploding enemy corpses is a fun addition), and the fighting is as much of a spectacle to witness as it is to experience. While enemy density is odd and the errant graphical glitch can catch you off guard, there’s real fun here, and that’s a pretty solid setup going into a spooky month of gaming. If you’ve been waiting to pile-drive a Dracula clone, your day has arrived.
Oliver Shellding · Sep 30, 2024 Reviewed on SwitchRead full reviewThis remake is a way to play one of the more interesting '90s beat 'em ups and that's good but the original was better in several ways.
Richie · Sep 30, 2024 Reviewed on PS5Read full reviewThere are reworked ideas here that are noteworthy. For fans of the original, it’s interesting to revisit Night Slashers with new characters, new combat options, and a redeveloped and friendlier level of challenge. If that’s all it was, we could probably recommend this remake as a fun arcade diversion that tinkers just enough with the template to offer a fresh experience. The modern visual styling, however, is so lazily done that it's largely unappealing, robbing the game of its aesthetic charm. If that’s not a dealbreaker for you, the price tag may still be low enough to not scare you off entirely.
