About

Night Slashers is a late-generation horror-themed beat 'em up from Data East. It features zombies, mad scientists, frankensteins, vampires, werewolves, axe murderers, mummies, and even evil Aztec gods. Its combat features a unique charge system as well as downward aerials that nail enemies into the ground.

Trivia

Night Slashers was censored for its US release. Zombies are less bloody, and Christopher wields a gem instead of a cross. Strangely, Night Slashers' boss bars always say ENEMY1 or ENEMY2, even in the Japanese version.

Night Slashers is a gorgeous game that nails the horror style and backs it up with a serious combat engine. Its combat has enough gimmicks to separate it from Final Fight while still being really accessible. Its solid enemy design, nasty gore effects, and rockin' OST add up to a high-quality beat'em up experience.
