I had some down time at a friend's place while we waited for their boyfriend to do some errands (we were effectively in between games of Super Mario Party), so I just decided to kill some time and show them some Night Slashers because it's silly campy fun.
It's a pretty shameless Final Fight clone from Data East in '93, but it's a fun clone. It's got a graphic horror movie theme, and the VA is SO bad it's hilarious. It's also a great port to the Switch and you can play it with 3 players with only Joycons, so that's another plus. It's easy to play with only 3 buttons (attack, jump, and special), so anyone can play and at least muck about for fun as you also have infinite continues/credits.
Verdict: Highly Recommended. It's a great little game I love having as something I can just play on the Switch whenever, a lot like how I feel about something like Snipper-Clips. $8 well spent, and if you can find it on sale, even better!
