There's something cathartic about an arcade beat 'em up. They're all simple and straightforward, but the journey of the game's stage, enemy, and boss designs can be a treat regardless. Night Slashers didn't do anything that made it particularly stand out to me, aside from its classic monster theming. It's as generic as they come otherwise. Simple movesets, quick stages, and you're home before dinner. I felt like Night Slashers relied a bit too heavily on absolutely mobbing you with enemies in later stages rather than introducing new enemy designs, but still enjoyed the 40 or so minutes it took to clear the game. I just wouldn't be going out of my way to play this in the arcade.
