Slasher: Origins

About

Slasher: Origins is a 2.5D action game where you control characters who auto-attack through waves of enemies. The rogue-lite structure means each run reshapes your choices, balancing resource management and ability upgrades. A focus on elemental synergies and timed dodges keeps combat fast and unpredictable. The story unfolds in a dark, stylized underworld with a blend of anime visuals and noir storytelling. The game’s standout is its art direction, which mixes gritty textures with exaggerated character designs. With a planned January 2025 release on multiple platforms including Switch and PS5, it offers portable accessibility without sacrificing presentation. Community feedback highlights the game’s pacing and the challenge of its escalating difficulty. Single player only.
