Hello everyone, Slashers will be back with a bunch of cool updates which will change the look and gameplay of the game drastically. Here is a list of what is about to come (The features in the screenshots presented are still subjects to change and doesn't reflect the final look):

New Fighting Screen HUD and User Interface

2 New Characters

New "Recovery Point" System

4 New Backgrounds

A New single player game mode: "JOURNEY"

Efe: The Ottoman Slapper joins the fray as the 6th playable character for Slashers! Efe is a dagger-wielding, energy-ball throwing Ottoman fighter with damaging focused attacks. Thanks to his rigorous training (slapping marble blocks), his slap attacks send opponents flying across the arena. The newest warrior added to Slashers excels at switching low and high moves rapidly which keeps opponents unbalanced and gives him the opportunity to deal devastating combos. Since launching onto Early Access Slashers: The Power Battle has received a host of improvements, including the new "Tournament" mode, where players can participate and win rewards, but be warned, if you don't show up during your bracket match, then your opponent may win automatically! The game has also been updated with several balance changes and graphical improvements and the gamepad support has been improved. We have so many more epic ideas to introduce into Slashers, and our powerful Ottoman slapper is just a nice addition to the game’s diverse roster! Stay tuned for the next new challenger: ‘Ikuzo!’

We proudly announce our new character Shin as the 5th playable character for Slashers: The Power Battle! Shin is a blood-thirsty killer wielding a large double-edged blade. He excels at long reaching multi-slashing special moves and long-range normals (thanks to his blade). Some of his moves almost cover the full-screen, so when you picked Shin, your opponents will always stay on their toes. Shin is also able to summon ravens to his aid. He can extend his combos with the ravens' attacks or heal himself with the blood they extracted from them. Shin himself also can turn into a raven and pass through the opponent's projectiles or their body. If you pick Shin, you will hear this a lot: "Let the bloodshed begin!" The game is also updated with several balance changes and graphical improvements. New options added to training mode, such as Fatal Counters, Chaos Points, Starting Position and Block Cancel. New Combo Challenges missions and Arcade mode ending also added for Shin as well. Stay tuned for the next new challenger: Efe... 'Ottoman SLAAAP!!!'
