Having said all that, Night Slashers: Remake is a romp all unto itself, and has some earnest potential in a decent remake category. The difficulty levels give plenty of replay to what would otherwise be a very short brawler, the customized game mode lets you finesse how hard you want it to be (exploding enemy corpses is a fun addition), and the fighting is as much of a spectacle to witness as it is to experience.

For fans of the original, its interesting to revisit Night Slashers with new characters, new combat options, and a redeveloped and friendlier level of challenge.
