This retro-inspired title brings the legendary horror icon, Art the Clown, to gamers, giving them the chance to get creatively brutal in classic beat-’em-up style. Watch the launch trailer below….
Terrifier: The ARTcade Game is a 4-player co-op that lets players experience a twisted 16-bit world as a pixellated Art the Clown and other sinister characters. As Art (or his companions), players wander through a 2D world, hacking and slashing at those who are attempting to make a horror film using Art’s likeness.
As players go from level to level, turning film sets and streets into slaughterhouses, they will be able to turn victims into bloody puddles using a variety of different weapons. There are also many power-ups available to give that extra edge in combat and perform over-the-top gory attacks and finishing moves.
The game features a chiptune soundtrack with a main theme composed by Cody Carpenter, son of the famous John Carpenter, that complements the retro style and chaotic atmosphere.
