Night Slashers: Remake

Night Slashers: Remake is ok at best. It’s nothing special; it’s extremely generic and bland. Also very short and bosses, who should instill fear, are just big cronies. It could be some way to pass some time, solo or with friends, but other than that, it’s hard to recommend Night Slashers: Remake knowing there are much, much better beat’em up available. Try at your own risk.

A Final Fight-like fighting game with a horror flavour seems the perfect recipe for success. Unfortunately Night Slashers Remake is an unrefined product that only in some elements seems to betray the laziness with which it was developed. A more "meaty" combat system and the addition of a new playable character are not enough to balance a disappointing graphical compartment and some technical issues. Despite all this, the four-players coop mode is still quite fun.

While its looks are more polished, it has problems

Night Slashers: Remake doesn't reinvent the wheel, but it's a well-polished product that will give you and your friends some quality time, with single-screen co-op for up to 4 players.

As a fan of the genre, I was somewhat disappointed with Night Slashers Remake, as it is almost impossible to make comparisons, and I felt that I would have almost preferred the pixelated version.

The little bit of identity Night Slashers had that wasn’t the gore is just gone now, and I can’t say the game feels that great to play even after playing through it twice.
