The game itself is amazing, but I can't recommend this port. I did one full playthrough, and suffered near constant flickering and stuttering, as well as random slowdown. Plus it's the censored version with the green blood and all that. Hopefully we get a patch to resolve these issues, but as it stands... it's a monstrosity.
I'm giving this the thumbs down, because the emulation was terrible. The animations were very stilted, and everything just felt very off. I was really excited for this one, but it's a broken release. You're better off just using emulation, which doesn't have the issue I described above. I'm hoping the game gets patched very soon, and then I'll gladly delete this review.

1993年データイースト社製横スクロールベルトアクション 👍good データイーストは既に解散しているので今更steamでナイトスラッシャーズが出来るとは思っていなかった 感謝っ…! 圧倒的 感謝っ…! 👎bad 移植の程度が低すぎてプレイ中にFPSが低下したりゲーム中に音楽がループしたり操作に遅延が発生したりする 本当にゴミの様な移植具合 古い海外バージョンしか選べないのでゴア表現無しで敵の血が緑色になっていたり、ゲーム中の会話シーンが尽く削られている また海外バージョンなので難易度がハード相当 ハイスコアを出しても毎回ゲームがリセットされたり、フルスクリーン以外選べなかったりと文句しか出てこない 何故こんな移植をしたか不思議でならない
Relive this arcade classic through RETRO CLASSIX! A classic beat 'em up game where you have to fight violent monsters alone or locally with friends. You can also use special attacks that kill all enemies currently in the frame. Feel free to check out some gameplay of the game here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xeBknM5Pkg
What the hell is this? Green blood censored version and no way to change it? Absoloute trash.
This is one of my favorite classic beatemups, I was really hyped when it was released, but yet again the emulation sucks plus we only get the censored US version. This is an absolute travesty, they did better with the other Data East games (To be fair haven't played all of them, and the ones I played are older ones, but still). Had a headache from the flickering and lag. Tried the game on Retroarch and it worked smooth as butter. Ziggurat and 612 Games ♥♥♥♥ the bed probably getting a refund. Capcom Beatemup Bundle, the capcom D&D collection and the SNK collection did it better. Get a better emulator and set it up correctly, add the Japanese version AND add smooth multiplayer mode instead of remote play. Not a recommend, ♥♥♥♥ Ziggurat and 612 Games.
Thoroughly poor emulation and nigh unplayable. Usually I'm not picky, if a company gives me a legal way to play an old game I'll pay for it even it's just an overpriced emulation of a ROM. I believe in supporting game makers whenever possible but this, this finally crossed the line. This game is blurry as to be unplayable. Forget being on par with free emulation, this is inferior to free emulation in every way. If the developer patches this out I'll retract my review but until then please don't support such lazy releases.
Sorry, but this is a terrible port/emulation. I loved this game in the arcade. This is a very sloppy, careless reproduction. Numerous graphical issues with animations stuttering, flicker, transparency issues, slowdown. Stage 3 audio is messed up throughout the whole level, have experienced this thru both play-throughs in a row. I also encountered a glitch where the stage 4 boss couldn't be hit. Night slashers is a good beat 'em up, but this is a low effort release. I'd suggest you avoid.
I wanted to test it myself. Boy, it's a bad port. I can't understand how a pretty old emulator can do a better job than this. Also, what the hell with stage's 3 music? The game is good and fun but i can't recommend it at it's current state.
