NOTE:
For the best experience, please download the Steam demo. It will come with automatic updates for this event, but also for some future content after the event concludes!

A wishlist is also appreciated if you can spare it!





You can also support the game on Patreon. Every bit helps!

Please note that this is essentially an M rated game, with violence and language, so viewer discretion is advised.



Enter Slashbang, a narrative driven, movement-first first person shooter taking inspiration from games like Sonic Adventure, Jet Set Radio, and the Metal Gear series.

Speed through levels with a completely unique, custom tailored movement system, shoot and slice terrorists to pieces, and take part in a narrative adventure with intrigue, high tensions, and a comedic core.

NEW MOVEMENT SYSTEM

Based on design principles of Sonic games, Slashbang has more originality than just rocket jumps and bunny hopping. Drift around corners, dodge bullets in a blink, and run up walls. Easy to learn, hard to master!​

DESTRUCTION

Slice through incoming bullets, props, and even enemies with Flynn's claws! Environments are destructible, and enemies can be shredded to pieces.

NONLINEAR PROGRESSION

Slashbang aims to have a somewhat nonlinear progression system without the down sides. Levels are hand crafted, and you can choose the order you tackle them to gain new weapons.

STYLE

With a unique low poly, toon shaded art style akin to Jet Set Radio, and a soundtrack by Reski that evokes Hideki Naganuma and Jun Senoue, Slashbang has sights and sounds that will keep you coming back to get faster times.

SUBSTANCE

Slashbang aims to have a gripping and funny story about absolute power and how it propagates. Join David, his Spector, Flynn, and a variety of other characters as they try to restore order to their city under military occupation.
