Today, Terrifier: The ARTcade Game unleashed a new chaotic gameplay trailer during The MIX Showcase. Produced by SelectaVisión, published by Selecta Play, and developed by Relevo, the game draws inspiration from iconic horror-themed arcade classics of the 80s and 90s, paying homage to the horror-themed titles that defined an era. Whether you’re a fan of the horror franchise or a lover of pixelated action games or retro gaming, this game delivers a blood-soaked trip down memory lane.
In Terrifier: The ARTcade Game, players step into the role of Art the Clown, the notorious villain from the Terrifier series, as he disrupts movie sets where films about his gruesome acts are being shot. Instead of letting the cameras capture the staged terror, Art brings his own brand of real chaos, tearing through hordes of policemen, firewomen, camera operators, stunt performers, makeup artists, and even unsuspecting civilians. The vibrant pixel art graphics bring the film’s eerie settings to life, while smooth animations make every attack and finishing move a gory delight.
