Check out the features trailer of Slashers: The Power Battle, showcasing the games’ features:
“With fluid 2D animations and vibrant colourful graphics, Slashers: The Power Battle is a highly tactical game with 11 unique warriors to pummel your friends with, each with their own fighting styles and moves. Characters include an Ottoman warrior who excels in slap attacks, a giant dagger riding ninja, a Kazakh shaman who uses spirits to curse opponents and a Templar knight who resists and counters opponent’s attacks.
Slashers first appeared for iOS and Android in 2015 and quickly became a huge global hit. The unprecedented success of the 2D fighter meant Slashers: The Power Battle was quickly destined for a PC launch. The new version has been completely revamped and restyled from the ground up for an incredibly polished PC battleground with brand new Steam Achievements and a totally reworked control mechanism.
Slashers: The Power Battle features a winning combination of easy to use controls with 4 attack buttons (Slash, Big Slash, Kick, Chaos) and epic tactical gameplay. Use devastating combos to cripple your enemies, fill up your ‘Chaos Meter’ to unleash a dizzying lineup of strategic moves, and defeat your foes with character specific finishers. Slashers: The Power Battle features multiple gameplay modes for a truly varied fighting experience. Create and customize your warrior with Journey mode, challenge players all around the world with Net-play mode and access each character’s rich story in Arcade mode.
“Slashers: The Power Battle is a truly old-school fighting game with so much to offer to both fans of the classics like Street Fighter, and all players who just want to uppercut their friends across a screen,” Said Galip Kortoglu, Founder of Stun Games “Our warriors are eccentric, larger than life characters, and we know players will absolutely love their unique skillsets. We can’t wait to hear from the Early Access community.”
“Given the incredible levels of success Slashers: The Power Battle achieved on mobile, we’re absolutely thrilled to be working with Stun Games on the PC version. The game is already fantastic and feedback from the Early Access players can only help to perfect the experience.” Said Darryl Still, Co-Founder and CEO of Kiss Ltd.
