The dishwasher vampire smile switch series#
It doesn't give the player an advantage or anything, but it helps to make them feel awesome.Įach stage is divided into a series of rooms.
The coolest aspect of dodging is if an attack is avoided at the last possible moment, the action slows down for a split-second. Gravity's proverbial face will be spat in many times over. Also, it's possible to dodge in any direction. Thanks to the generous invincibility frames, weaving in and out the worst possible situations is as easy as turning one's wrist.
The player is free to dodge as many times as it takes. Dodging, which by default is mapped to the right stick, is sole defensive technique available to the heroes. While there is joy to be found in devastating adversaries with stunning air combos, survival always comes first. Four spells are available as well, though most anyone will stick to the one that drains health from nearby enemies. Weapons can be swapped in out at any time, even in the midst of battle. Machineguns and shotguns help to round out the sizable arsenal. There are traditional weapons, such as katanas and hammers, and then there are the oddities like "painkiller" and "the guillotine." Is goring someone with a giant syringe or an oversized pair of scissors too much? For this game, it probably isn't enough. Both Dishwasher and Prisoner have access to multiple weapons, all of them designed for maximum slaughter. In essence, this title is a 2D beat 'em up, though it could also be considered a twin-stick slasher.
Somewhere in all of this crimson-soaked chaos are the heroes, slicing and dodging through the nightmares with flawless precision. Before this tale has concluded, hundreds of enemies will be decimated, their blood slathered all over the walls and floors, like modern art gone horribly wrong. The over-the-top absurdity is matched by a ridiculously high body count. Seriously, it's a game about samurai vampires fighting cyborg zombies. The Dishwasher: Vampire Smile has one of those concepts that's practically impossible to screw up.
