Slashout is the third installment to the Spikeout series, released for Sega NAOMI hardware in 2000. Unlike other games in the series, Slashout has a completely different setting, based in a medieval fantasy world with different characters - gameplay remains similar, however. It’s fairly standard fare for the genre, having the player pick from four archetypal fantasy heroes (Slash the fighter, Luna the dancer, Axel the warrior, and Kamui the ninja), and fight gangs of monsters in standard (though very nicely rendered) fantasy locations.
There’s a little bit of RPG flavour, too, as collecting gems gives experience points with which you use to level up, though levelling only seems to refill and slightly extend your life bar, so it’s really just a different way of providing the extra lives at certain score intervals which traditional beat-’em-ups often have.

It adapts the system so it’s closer to Panzer Bandit, also released by Fill-In Cafe in the same year. With the revamped controls, the action is much, much smoother. Like Panzer Bandit, there’s an auto guard when the controls are left in neutral, and you can also deflect enemy attacks by hitting them at the same time. Dashing and boost jumping have been assigned their own separate buttons, too. A few other things have been added as well, like an “overdrive” power gauge that can be discharged for more powerful maneuvers. Enemies also regularly drop health restoratives, whereas the previous versions only provided them at certain points in the stages.
The sprites here are all the same, but the backgrounds are now 3D, and look entirely different. Despite the visual makeover, however, the stages and bosses are all still pretty similar. The music has been rearranged, though, with some tracks taken from a Mad Stalker soundtrack album r
