So the stage is set…characters from unique time periods are zapped from place to place, each with their own reason to fight – none knowing where they will go next. Timeslaughter was Bloodlust’s crowning product, the best fighting game on the pc, and certainly the bloodiest when it was released. In a span of several years, the game was changed over and over until it finally came out in 1996. Many characters changed, many characters were lost. The end result was to be one of the strangest underground shareware games anyone had seen. Some people hated it, others loved it…we’ll let you decide where you stand.
Features: Tons of moves, special moves, and slaughter moves for each completely unique character, multi-layered fully animated backgrounds, cinematic intro and endings, 4 hidden characters, hidden special moves, brutal character intelligence, twisted humor (of course), trippy secret codes, blatant sexual reference, blatant violence, blatant profanity, and last but most certainly the least – midgets.
Another thing that really makes Timeslaughter enjoyable for me is how it manages to stay interesting even after playing it multiple times. Many games feel repetitive after a while, but here, the experience still feels fresh because of the small details and different ways you can approach the gameplay. As you continue playing, you naturally start improving and understanding the mechanics better, which makes everything feel more rewarding. I also appreciate the balance the game maintains—it’s not too difficult, but it’s not too easy either. You can play it casually for a short break or spend longer sessions without getting bored. That flexibility is one of the biggest reasons why I keep coming back to Timeslaughter. Overall, it’s the kind of game that doesn’t just entertain you for a moment, but actually gives you a consistently enjoyable experience every time you play.
