SlashDash

SlashDash is an arcade game developed by Nevernaut Games, an independent New York studio. The title debuted exclusively on Xbox One consoles.

Players take on the role of mysterious ninjas in order to wage murderous duels with each other in several fun variations. Among them we can find the classic Capture the Flag mode (in which the aim is to take over the opponent's flag three times) and Assassination, where the players' task is to kill the opponent's Shogun while protecting their own. The other two modes to play in "free for all" mode are Deathrace (the goal is to stay alive for as long as possible) and Mirror Match, where players control 5 ninja warriors at the same time. In all variants of the game, the key to success is, of course, the ability to properly cooperate and coordinate within the team.

The action of the game is shown in a classic view from above, and the competition takes place on nine fully interactive maps, where, apart from our rivals, we can destroy every element of the environment. In skirmishes, our warriors use the "basic" range of ninja skills, such as the title "chopping" and avoiding the rival. In addition, however, we can use nine unique weapons, which are unlocked as the game progresses and used during the fight. The whole thing is going on at a very fast pace and was designed to provide the power of crazy fun during every home party.

A characteristic feature of SlashDash for Xbox One is the binding, which, despite its simplicity, clearly draws inspiration from the Japanese culture of the Edo era. During the game, on the maps we meet characteristic Far Eastern castles, tea gardens, hot springs, etc., and we can also see a lot of interesting information about the history of the castle. The soundtrack of the game is maintained in a similar tone.
