@@broadbandislife In the Nineties there was a clear difference between zombies and living coprses with magic. And according to the Nigth Slasher lore: These are not zombies but "Living Deaths". With intelligence and all. They can plan ambushes, they can weild knifes and weapons and they can punch and attack like normal people do. If one bites you nothing will happen (asides from a nasty wound). When they catch you they pin you down, kill you and then you are ressurected as an undead by King Kruzt or his acolites.
Not necessarily. In the Resident Evil universe some characters have a natural immunity to zombies, as it is infection by the T-virus which causes the transformation, not just being bitten.
this game looks and feels like something I once imagined and thought for sure did not exist, goes to show every idea in the world had already been done such a cool arcade game tho...80's slasher + Japanese beat em up, killer combo
@@Rexodiak Re:Zero is the first one that comes to me. Some everyman is brought to another world with the power to go back in time every time he dies. Just that power is original, but the reasons for why he has it make it even more unique. Also, a lot of Brandon Sanderson's books have original stuff. The Mistborn world has an original magic system, Stormlight Archives does too i believe.
@@BygoneT listen to the courses Brandon gives on university and uploads on his yt channel to be proven wrong. Sanderson himself said every idea has been done, the difference is in execution. Dedicates a whole class to ideas in particular. "Return by Death" power, also known as "Temporal Resurrection" is an actual trope. All You Need is Kill did it in 2004, Discworld did it in 2001, even Undertale did it. There's an entire webpage dedicated to that power seen in media. The reasons why he has it I don't know them but I'm sure they aren't something never seen before. Don't forget Re:Zero is an isekai, and the idea of a miserable isekai has already been done in anime form before in "Now and Then Here and There" and outside of anime is used all the time. What's more is that I'm sure the Re:Zero author doesn't know the other trope originators, and he came up with it himself, it's just that someone already came up with it before.
While _Night Slashers_ is one of my favorite retro beat-em-'ups, I had always thought that the horror element of the game loses its steam after the infiltration of the Dracula wannabe's castle.
I love how all the enemies got so much personality lol like the Frankenstein monster’s running kick, the way the puppet master hops around and the golem’s google eyes XD
We wanna talk about 13:10? Those knees were right in the miserable pile of secrets. I don’t care if you are a 10 foot tall swole vampire, fight’s over.
I thought that blood coming out when you hit the Rock Golem was just laziness on the developers part until I saw the Devil Knight fight lol... How hardcore this game is that it has your knuckles bleed when you hit rock.
You really nailed it with the moves from the Pharaoh being the same as Vega (M. Bison). I'm going to compare all the characters to see who they copied the moves from!
@MochiCATZ: Correct on Hong-Hua, sir. Data East literally copy-pasta'd Guy's combo animations onto her, with the difference being that her final attack in the combo is with what is known as a talisman, a type of paper that used to remove evil spirits from peoples' bodies (according to what I've seen in classic, supernatural fight anime; if anybody knows better than I do, please correct me).
@@Loader2K1 Yup, I can see that. You, Sir, are a man of culture also. Yes, that thing we saw as the combo finisher, is a Taoist Talisman, I presumed? Mostly it Taoist that uses Talisman for Exorcism tools, Shaman tools, and Superstition lucky charm. We mostly saw it from either Animes or Chinese Vampire flicks, as the weapons for various use. For Sealing evils, Banishing demons to just plains Holy paper missiles.
Pretty sure the most dangerous weapons in the heroes' arsenal are those obscene Eighties hairdos the guys are sporting. That mullet requires an open-carry permit.
Wow, I'm so amazed by this game and never knew it existed. I don't play games much but I like to watch on UA-cam. This, I have to download. I'm so glad too that the game player chose the woman character. This is just totally mindblowing 🥰
This is what Resident Evil should've been! Swinging fists & flying kicks instead of guns! This is basically Street Fighter mixed with Resident Evil mixed with Castlevania.

Poderia ser um pouco mais difícil, da impressão que os oponentes só apanham sem reagir. Ou quem estava jogando joga muito bem, mesmo assim é um ótimo game.
_Night Slashers_ was a standalone arcade game from the now-defunct Data East, best known as the house that Karnov built. DE would go on to make some games on the Neo-Geo MVS/AES, though, like _Windjammers_ , a sci-fi take on beach volleyball, frisbee throwing, and _Pong_ .
Not much wierder then Devil May Cry 2's demon-infested helicopter. Or was it a demon-infested tank...? Or both ? I only cleared that piece of shit once, I'm sorry.
@Dul Longous I laughed at "sadly" :D Holy fuck was that game an atrocity... It is still one of the biggest gaming miracles in history - the fact that this franchise recovered as good as it did. From one of the worst action games on the PS2 to literally one of THE absolutely iconic skill-based stylish action games. In one fucking game. Amazing. Simply amazing. Like crossing an ocean in one step. And yet - it actually happened.
I swear, I was looking up "Vampire Night" the arcade shooter, and I somehow come across this! This Beat'em Up looks effing amazing! I'm surprised I've never heard of it before.
There's a little trick with the golem boss: If you use a charged throw, its guarenteed to make his body collapse into a pile of rocks, revealling its crystal core, which you can strike for massive damage. This game has a ton of little tricks and moves. My favorite has to be the one where Jake's zombie slide (while holding an enemy: Down+Punch+Jump IIRC... been a while since I played this)
This game has upset me since I found it. Made in 93 (the time I would have been in arcades a ton), and I know I've never seen this Cab. It wasn't until about 15 years ago that I discovered it. Awesome beat em up. I wish sprite work could still exist like this. Arc does a pretty good job with their hand drawns for current times. Imagine if Arc made a true beat em up... Oooooooo!
Imagine the level of love and dedication to this game (that admittedly I've never heard of before) in order to beat the whole thing and take no damage. It's impressive really

Yeah it’s not on a plate.
It’s ok 👌 Those hotdogs have been sanitized and are plant 🌱 based

Zombies can infect you with just one bite. So you got some brass to get up close and just punch them to death.

It's on the switch.
this game came long way ago before switch released... mame is the best app for emulating arcade.. I played this in 2005.
Just emulate it on PC for free. No need to go to the hassle of setting it up for consoles where you'd likely have to pay.
Legitimately shocked at the quality of this game's translation. SNK btfo.
They did fine... althought a few parts were cut from the japanese version.
Like a couple instances of dialogue between levels.

Also, Pharaoh has M Bison/Vega (Dictator) Walk.
Just call him Vega I refuse to call him Mike Bison, Bison’s name belongs to the boxer as much as DIO’s servant Vanilla Ice.
Too bad he doesn't have his Psycho Crusher.

Except Dracula here is a servant of Death.
