Dive deep into Slitterhead's narrative and gameplay. This guide explores the game's possession mechanics, combat, and the convoluted plot surrounding the Slitterheads and humanity.
Walkthrough
- 1The game begins with you as a bodiless spirit in Hong Kong, tasked with fighting Slitterheads, monsters that possess humans and eat brains. Your method of fighting back is to possess humans yourself and make them fight.
- 2Core gameplay involves melee hack-and-slash combat. Enemy attacks can stun-lock you, but the key is to rapidly switch bodies to utilize buffs from newly possessed characters.
- 3Slitterheads can be disguised as citizens. While the game has a 'sight-jacking' mechanic similar to Siren, the repetitive environments and a prominent visual effect make it largely unnecessary.
- 4The game has a mission-based structure, alternating between dialogue-heavy exposition and action in urban levels. Missions often involve chasing down and fighting Slitterheads or other enemies.
- 5The story introduces a time loop and then becomes increasingly complex, with twists about whether Slitterheads are good or evil, leading to parallel universe elements.
- 6The plot centers around 'Rarities,' characters with special upgradable powers. The game may halt progress until optional characters are found, even if they have little plot relevance.
Tips
- Constantly switch bodies during combat to maintain buffs and overwhelm enemies.
- Pay attention to the visual cues for disguised Slitterheads, though the sight-jacking mechanic is less crucial.
- Be prepared for a convoluted and often nonsensical plot that may require replaying missions or finding optional characters.
- The game's horror elements are minimal; focus on the unique possession mechanics and combat.
