Basara Joins The ‘Samurai Shodown’ Roster on October 15
Since it’s October, it only seems appropriate that the new DLC character for SNK’s revival of Samurai Shodown is none other than the vengeful ghost, Basara. Basara will be available for download on October 15th, and can be purchased individually for $5.99, or as part of the $19.99 Season Pass.
Samurai Shodown is available now for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One worldwide. A Switch verison is due out on December 12 in Japan. A PC version is also planned for release.
The House of The Dead fans have a new rail shooter to dive into with Alex Rassloff‘s MEATHOOK, which will be launching on Steam on July 21. If you can’t wait that long, you can check out the demo, which features seven of the game’s 10 levels.
This survival horror FPS sees you being captured by a mysterious cult, which has killed your partner and suspended you from a conveyor mechanism like a piece of meat. Making matter worse, you’re now forced to partake in a collection of ritualistic challenges, collecting weapons and cleansing the tunnels of cultists that are looking to carve you up.
Sporting throwback PS1-style graphics and gore, MEATHOOK also features a tactile physics-driven weapon system as well as a unique manual reload feature. You navigate the small interconnected levels by selecting markers to move along the conveyor that takes you throughout the levels. You’ll be stocking up on resources such as food, ammo, keys and guns.
For added replay, there are multiple paths to discover, as well as a few shortcuts. There are also secret items to discover for the completionists in mind.
