Still, the playable nightmare sequences are frequent enough that you’ll eventually want to allow the cutscenes to play out to actually attempt to figure out what is going on.Įven with the black and white color palette, the art style of the characters and backgrounds really contribute to the wicked atmosphere that the action and the metal music provide. For quite some time through her story you either forget or care not for why she is unleashing this extreme can of whoop-ass upon her foes. As she progresses through the game she has nightmare flashes where an evil being known as The Creeper stalks her. Here, Yuki’s contribution to the game really shines. With that being the Cliff notes version of the storyline, you progress through either campaign treated by comic book styled cut scenes with the highly stylized hand drawn gritty art that is certainly the signature of the game. The dishwasher, on the other hand, is continuing his quest to … well…I guess defeat evil and kill everything (as if there is much of a difference between the motives for either). Yuki was killed in the midst of the first story line and returns as a ruthless, feral vampire ninja that is on her own wicked quest of revenge.

Staged on a moon base/city kind of place, you pursue the evil masterminds, known as the Banker, the General, and the Judge that lead an evil army of zombies, cyborgs, and robots. Developed as an action-platformer, The Dishwasher: Vampire Smile has you taking on the role of a powerful undead samurai dishwasher or his cyborg vampire ninja sister named Yuki. James managed to squeeze an enormous amount of death and destruction in a 3 to 4 hour game (per story mode campaign). Now that the adrenaline from playing the game has died down a bit, I can honestly say that the savagery delivered by this game is certainly on the level of God Of War or Devil May Cry. In a matter of minutes though, after starting up the game and grasping the controls, I found myself unleashing a fury rarely seen or experienced in videogames. I had never tried the original Dishwasher game, which was the winner of the 2007 Microsoft Dream-Build-Play game development contest. Now I must admit, when I first found out that I would be reviewing this game, I had no idea what I was in for. What do you get when you mix an undead samurai dishwasher with a cyborg vampire ninja? Well if you ask the founder, James Silva of the one man game studio Ska Studios, he would undoubtedly say, “buckets and buckets of blood!” The Dishwasher: Vampire Smile is truly a raging spectacle of speed, vengeance, metal music, nightmares and bullets.
