Splatterhouse

The main character, Rick, fights various monsters in hand-to-hand combat or with makeshift weapons such as wooden planks and meat cleavers in Splatterhouse. Rick can rip his enemies apart with his superhuman strength. He can also combine attacks into combos. Rick can lose limbs but can regrow them over time. To fight enemies, arms can be used as clubs. Rick collects blood from defeated enemies throughout the game. After collecting a certain amount, the player can unlock new moves and perform special attacks. Journals detailing Dr. West’s history can be found, and photos of Rick’s girlfriend serve as a breadcrumb trail to follow. He can perform “Splatter Kills,” which are highly gory finishing moves. There is also a platforming element with jump nodes to reduce the number of instant death falls. Unlockables include the original Splatterhouse arcade game, Splatterhouse 2, and Splatterhouse 3.
