👊⚔️ From the Arctic Archives: Slashers The Power Battle "Dead Online But Still Worth A Bash Offline" 👊⚔️ #GameDev

Due to the number of games we receive for coverage in the Games Freezer, it’s sadly inevitable that some slip through the glaciers.

In the Arctic Archive feature, we re-visit titles not covered upon their initial release to see how they fare down the line.

Slashers: The Power Battle

Price: £5.19

Status: Early Access

There’s always an oddly sad shelf life to online games, especially ones that don’t sell well upon their initial release. If a game is pretty much purely online-only and the fanbase just isn’t there for whatever reason, games become obsolete sometimes weeks and even days after launch.

🕹️ Britt's Amusement Arcade Memories Amidst A Flooded Flat - Video Games Memories 🕹️ #RetroGaming #Arcade

There is an undeniable connection for a lot of people to some form of gaming, no matter how distant or seemingly inconsequential.

A moment that I found really funny (in hindsight) was a few years ago in my old flat, my girlfriend woke me up at three in the morning because the bathroom ceiling was gushing with water (pinch me) and so I pegged it upstairs to wake up my upstairs neighbour (a guy in his thirties) who immediately ran down to my flat to see the damage. We headed into my living room to grab a load of towels to stem the flow, all in a complete frenzy due to the level of water coming through.

Amidst all of this, as we were running back to the bathroom, he stopped and pointed at something on display in our living room and said, “Is that Scramble? Wow, I had that when I was a kid, haven’t seen it in years!”.

Naturally, I walked over to him and filled him in on the finer points of our gaming collection until my girlfriend walked in and said, incredulously. “Umm….can you talk about games after we’ve stopped our bathroom flooding?”

Obviously, I split up with her on the spot.
