Figuring out how best to beat enemies and bosses by employing the right weapons is satisfying and enjoyable. If melee can’t do the trick, each character also has ranged weapons and magic at their disposal.
The Dekkentozter for instance has you using a squirt gun to wet enemies and a toaster to shock them for major damage the Cloud Sword has you setting up the combat to give you a chance for an incredible charge attack. For the straightforward among the players is the trusty katana, but from there the other weapons start to make for interesting and unique gameplay. The Dishwasher: Vampire Smile takes a good approach to backtracking employing it conservatively to divulge a sense of familiarity with an area without it feeling tedious or recycled.Ĭombo Variety – Going to town on a group of bad guys or a boss couldn’t be more satisfying than it is in this game. Throughout players will find themselves asking who is behind it all and what their counterpart is doing at this point in the story. While it might not win plot of the year, playing as either Yuki or The Dishwasher the first time through inevitably has you wondering what’s going on with the craziness on the moon. The Tale of Dishwasher: The story of this game is told very well and thoughtfully paced. The arcade mode presents 50 levels of challenges that limit weapon and character choice, sometimes with special conditions. Gameplay focuses on stunning combos and use of evasion to stay out of harm’s way and keep the pain coming. Each character has a unique set of weapons and variation of the story. Players are given a choice between which character to play as. Both characters set out to dethrone, or rather dismember, the three major powers that have brought the scourge that plagued Earth to the moon. The story starts off two years after the events in the first, with Yuki beginning her adventure in a space prison and eventually joining The Dishwasher on the moon.
In The Dishwasher: Vampire Smile players take control of either Yuki (The Prisoner) or The Dishwasher, who is as of yet unnamed. Standard beat ’em up modes, but the variety of enemies, the two unique characters with their unique weapons and coherent story makes The Dishwasher: Vampire Smile into a fantastic experience. A story mode, 50 levels of arcade- both single player and co-op, and a never-ended Dish Challenge mode for the masochists of the world that want to fight endless waves of baddies. The Dishwasher: Vampire Smile is the much awaited sequel to that success story and it’s going far beyond the scope of its predecessor. The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai was an indie success story if ever there was one. A copy of the game was provided for review purposes.
