The first four are usually standard, but I noticed the fifth spins things up a bit. Each character also has their own special attack, with Dominika’s screen clearing bats being my favorite.Įach level has six stages, with the sixth being the boss. James being balanced, Lulu having the most health, and Dominika having the best movement. Each character has their own variant of Health, Speed, and Jump. A Spread shot that shoots bats, Frogs that slide on the floor and do lots of damage, ghosts that go back and forth, and Chicken Combs that stick to surfaces and explode.

As a matter of fact, your characters just outright hold guns, but instead of each character having their own unique kinds of bullets to fire, you pick up creative ammunition as you go. Savage Halloween has more of shooter, from point A to B with some secrets, as opposed to Halloween Forever’s explorative levels with lots of secrets and unlockables.

Both are retro games, and both have run and gun mechanics. In the year 2021, I have managed to play two games that have the same premise, an endless Halloween, with your choice of character’s duty to stop it.
