Night Slashers (ナイトスラッシャーズ) is a 1993 beat 'em up game developed and published by Data East for arcades.
[3][4] Night Slashers is similar to Capcom's Final Fight and Sega's Streets of Rage series, which is an archetypal side scrolling beat 'em up game.
During the course of the game, players fight through hordes of attacking zombies and mutants, as well as other monsters such as vampires, werewolves and elementals.
Players fight these enemies and bosses to stop the evil plans of King Zarutz from turning our planet into a worldwide kingdom for the dead.
In Japan, Game Machine listed Night Slashers on their October 15, 1993 issue as being the ninth most-successful table arcade unit of the month.
[5] In North America, Play Meter also listed the title to be the fifty-eighth most-popular arcade game at the time.
