Are there any games like slasher

Where the core campaign is meant to lampoon classic sci-fi films and '80s campy horror , the DLC spans across subgenres including slasher flicks, B-movies, and kaiju films. It's practically a love letter to the cheesiest films in in the medium.

In all honesty, the Evil Within games have a bit of an identity crisis when it comes to just what kind of games they want to be. It goes back and forth between an action thriller and survival horror, but it does wear its horror movie influences on its sleeve quite proudly. There are sequences and monsters in this series that would give Clive Barker the shivers, and more scares than a player can shake a stick at. With the right trimming, there's more than enough evidence in this Shinji Mikami splatter-fest that could make it grounds for a solid horror film.

The Outlast franchise is a big name in the survival horror world, and its intense first-person elements of running and hiding from a gruesome selection of mutated murderers and madmen is more than enough reason to warrant some panic.

The fact that most of the game is seen through the eyes of a night-vision camera also helps add to the eerie experience. An abandoned insane asylum has already been the setting of several hauntings and horror films , but when it's overrun by mutilated and murderous inmates who want nothing more than to rip the player apart, things get more than a little scary.

It will definitely have most gamers gripping their controllers. Part sci-fi horror, part first-person-shooter, part philosophical dive, all captivating, and all-powerful, it's Bioshock.

The original title in 2K's iconic steampunk horror series was worthy of its own adaptation by itself, but the themes, motifs, and imagery seen in the first game open the door for multiple angles.

It could be viewed as an apocalyptic zombie feature, a monster movie featuring the Big Daddies, or just a survival-horror feature set deep beneath the ocean. There's more than one way to skin a Splicer, after all. Essentially the choose-your-own-adventure of horror games, The Dark Pictures Anthology puts control of the horror story in the player's hands.

With a new chapter on the horizon and two titles already giving players nightmares, new gamers have their choice in this trilogy of terror. To take a cue from Jigsaw, "Live or die, make your choice. Be it survival horror with a mix of action, horror where you escape a big brute, or something more psychological, here are a few horror games players can try out this Halloween. The player controls investigative journalist Miles Upshur as he tries to uncover the secrets of the mysterious Mount Massive Asylum.

Even though Outlast sometimes relies on jump scares a bit too much, the setting, atmosphere, and music make sure that the players are at the edge of their seats, while being scared.

The science-fiction horror game lets players control Issac Clarke, as he tries to escape the spaceship called Ishimura, all the while surviving attacks from Necromorphs and solving puzzles.

Horror game fans who like a bit of action in their spooky journey will enjoy Dead Space a lot, as it is a perfect blend of action and horror in one single game. While bigger studios have access to better budget and production pipelines to make polished horror games, the indie circle still manages to produce some of the most self-contained horror games inspired from the olden times.

Murder House is one such offering. Developed by the indie team Puppet Combo, Murder House follows a news crew breaking into the abandoned house of a dead serial killer to shoot a horror story. To their shock, the serial killer is not dead and is out to get them. The game is inspired by old school PS1 horror games. With PS1 low-poly graphics, full voice acting, and B-Movie slasher plot, Murder House pays homage to the 80s in the most gruesome and bloody ways possible.

Fans have always wanted a good game based on Ridley Scott's science fiction horror movie Alien. Alien: Isolation, however, is a complete package of claustrophobia, fear, and dread, combined together into one solid game of cat and mouse chase through a derelict space station. There's using the shadows and crawling on the walls to slaughter humans as a Xenomorph; then there's hunting humans and xenomorphs alike as a Predator.

Ice balls being thrown, characters being finished, spears flinging. Mortal Kombat is basically is a fighting game where everyone is a slasher!

However, that's not the reason it belongs on this list. Freddy remains a very brutal yet ridiculously fun character to play as; and without him, the next entry wouldn't exist.

While Freddy Krueger did not return, NetherRealm Studios dialed the slasher character-meter to the max. All four slasher villains are not only perfectly done DLC but they match their horror movie roots. They never feel out of place in Mortal Kombat X , even when altered to fit in a la the Alien. Fans loved these guest characters so much that characters like Tremor became sidelined.

One of the more tragic cases: an indie game by all accounts that took a similar concept as GMod's Murder and implemented it to Friday The 13th. It did not look pretty and was very buggy but it remained a fun and sometimes terrifying multiplayer experience. The problem is that due to legal issues with the property, the game did not receive the updates it deserved.

Friday The 13th remains a fun game to play but it's a shame that the developers were given a bummer deal. Meet Rick Taylor, he is totally not a Jason Voorhees wannabe.

He's been resurrected by a cursed mask and now Rick must rescue his girlfriend Jennifer. So technically, this slasher is the hero of the story but there's no way we could leave Splatterhouse off the list. Splatterhouse is a series of sidescrolling games; players control Rick and kill every undead creature and monster in sight. Think: if the Castlevania games and the Final Fight games merged together.

It results in a very fun and challenging beat-em-up. Illfonic, the team behind Friday The 13th The Game may have been screwed over. However, they got the chance to make a much more polished game in a similar style.
