All-out fight with popular horror movie characters

Terrordrome is a desktop game that pits two horror movie icons against each other. If you're a big fan of fighter games, you'll probably enjoy this twist on the traditional scenario. Instead of a cast of newly conceptualized characters, you get to annihilate horror movie icons. The gameplay is in the traditional two-dimensional plane for fighter games. The background details of the location you're fighting in are also quite impressive for its age.

Star-studded cast of horror movie villains

Built around the Unity Engine, Terrordrome by Huracan Studio has hand-to-hand combat, stomach-turning finishing moves, and plenty of options that will keep the ghoulish entertained. If you ever sat back and wondered who would win in a fight between Chuckee and Leatherface, then this game is for you.

A total of 12 scariest villains from horror and slasher films are available in this game such as The Candy Man, Freddie Krueger, Ash, etc. The entire idea is wonderfully packaged and delivers a solid arcade game that is worth trying out, especially for its cast of complex characters and seamless motion graphics that pull you into heated struggles.

While the characters don't have the great shade and specifications of the leading match, the cartoonish animation is a novelty for horror fans. The arenas and background, however,  are very soft and lifeless - a sharp contrast to the characters on the screen. It may not be a sight for sore eyes, but it helps the fighters pull focus during the matches.

Dated gameplay and keyboard controls 

Controls are responsive and the motion on the screen looks seamless, but the setup of the control takes a certain amount of time. Terrordrome can be a deep combat game - considering there’s so much lore surrounding its characters - but its dependency on button recall rather than a spontaneous gaming experience (like resorting to button mashing when you play Mortal Kombat or Tekken) put a damper on the fun.

The soundtrack and sound effects of some lovely melodies are perfect for smashing heads and shattering bones. Terrordrome provides multiplayer and single-player modes as in other action games. There is also a fun little practice mode that encourages players to work on some places of concern. This will allow you to put together a combo move or create a counterattack. 

The amazing visual presentation is followed by other good touches such as slow yet brutal deaths, and close-ups of the gore. It’s common to see these in fighting games, but it’s still satisfying to see after the end of every match. Nothing brings euphoria quite like seeing the bad guy receive violent punishment.

A horrifyingly ambitious crossover

In a genre where Mortal Kombat, Tekken, and Street Fighter reign, it’s refreshing to see a game that gives fans what they want. Fans of horror and slasher movies get to see their favorite villains get their just desserts, and be part of the action too! However, Terrordrome relies on the key combos and moves - which is a major downside considering this game is centered around the absurdity of two monsters fighting one another.
