Navigate the urban sprawl of Hong Kong, possess citizens, and battle monstrous Slitterheads in this comprehensive walkthrough for Slitterhead. Learn combat strategies and uncover the twisted plot.
Walkthrough
- 1The game begins with you as a bodiless spirit in contemporary Hong Kong, tasked with fighting Slitterheads, monsters that possess humans and eat brains.
- 2Your primary mechanic is possessing humans to fight. Initially, combat can be overwhelming due to enemy attacks and stun locks, but the game encourages rapid body-switching to utilize buffs from newly possessed characters.
- 3Slitterheads must be chased down and defeated. The game captures a sense of pursuit, similar to a cartoon chase sequence.
- 4Identifying disguised Slitterheads involves finding them among civilians. While the game features a sight-jacking mechanic similar to Siren, the repetitive environments and a prominent visual effect make it largely unnecessary.
- 5The game has a mission-based structure, alternating between dialogue-heavy conversations and action in urban levels. Missions often involve chasing and fighting enemies.
- 6The story introduces a time loop and a complex narrative involving 'good' Slitterheads, leading to a convoluted plot with parallel universes and unexpected twists.
- 7The plot centers around 'Rarities,' characters with special upgradable superpowers. The game may halt progress until optional characters are found, despite their minimal impact on the main story.
Tips
- Constantly switch bodies during combat to maintain buffs and overwhelm enemies.
- Utilize the parry system effectively, but don't rely on it solely when facing multiple opponents.
- Pay attention to the visual cues that highlight Slitterheads, as they simplify identification.
- Be prepared for a confusing narrative; focus on the core gameplay mechanics.
- The game's 'optional' characters are often required to progress, so seek them out.
