Evaluation

Slashers entered Steam Early Access on May 10, 2022 as a 1–4 player cooperative horror game. The developer was active throughout 2022 and into mid-2023, shipping major content updates (including the "Great Circus" expanded map in March 2023 and the "Town" map in June 2023), multiple feature patches, and numerous bug fixes. A roadmap published at launch and elaborated on in a June 2022 developer post outlined additional maps and game modes — including "Madness" (up to 10 players) and "Turn" (player-controlled slasher vs. AI survivors) — that have not yet been delivered. In June 2023, the developer announced a structural change: all future content would be integrated directly into the base game rather than released as separate DLC. This was framed as a positive shift intended to accelerate content delivery. However, the last official developer communication on Steam was a bug fix update posted on July 1, 2023. Since that date — nearly three years ago — there have been no patch notes, developer posts, roadmap updates, or any other public communications. The game has not reached a 1.0 release, still carries the Early Access designation, and the promised roadmap content remains undelivered with no explanation provided. This extended silence raises serious questions about whether development is continuing.

About this game

Welcome to Slashers!


In Slashers always a group of young people will get into an abandoned place, you must find a way to get out of there, but it will not be easy since you will always have a murderer stalking you.

Lost and found


Find objects randomly on the map, these will serve as a Puzzle to fit with other fragments and weaken the enemy.

Randomness


Many elements of the map, such as objects are totally random every time you play a new game, the enemies are unpredictable and do not follow guidelines when going to certain places.

Flee or fight


You can try to escape from the enemy or fight against him, there are several objects on the map with which you can hit the enemy and stun him, this can be useful to save friends.

Avoid getting caught


If you are caught they will lock you in areas where your friends can rescue you or yourself on some occasions, if everyone is trapped, you will move on to another unwanted form.

Complete the ritual


Find various elements to fit them into fragments to weaken and defeat the enemy.

Don't be alone in the dark


Beware of loneliness and darkness, the longer you stay, the more you will be suggested, you will begin to hear sounds and things will begin to happen.

Control the flashlight


The batteries are running out and this causes you to see less and less intensely, keep the flashlight recharged with new batteries.

Beware of noises


Voices and interactions attract the enemy, control the noises coming out of your microphone and the actions you do, if a partner screams they can catch you in the middle.

Manage the Stamina


You may find yourself in cornered situations that would only save you if you could run, it could be fatal to run out of stamina.

Take precautions in the face of light


The light will recover you from your paranoia, however it can also be a perfect focus to attract the enemy, use it to your advantage but be careful.

Manage fragments


It will take a while to place the fragments, be consistent and manage it before the enemy catches you red-handed.

Stay alert


The enemy will turn off/on the electricity, open/close doors, remove/add gasoline to the generator.

Listen to sounds


Enemies always make characteristic sounds when they go for someone, if that someone is you, you will always hear a music of tension, if it disappears it means that it has stopped chasing you.

Collect


There will always be collectibles on the map, which you can find individually, some of them are very hidden and others are not, you will need to take them in order for the next one to be shown.

Vision


Enemies have a hard time seeing in the dark, play in the shadows, and avoid light emissions so they aren't detected.

Phases


Each fragment placed will weaken the enemy, but it will become stronger, larger, faster and more aggressive.

Be smart


Point out items that you will need in certain circumstances, these items will be visible at all times by all players.

Modes


Slashers is characterized by having various game modes, some of these are developing and others will come out little by little (Classic, Escape, Slashers, Madness and Turn).

Replayability


The game is designed to be replayed infinitely times, so every tent, objects, posters, will appear randomly or be randomly generated.
You will also unlock difficulties as you play, this will increase the number of fragments you must get and the enemy will reach new phases.
