The biggest issue the game faces is also in part due to the time loop mechanic.

The other problem is that sometimes the objective of the game is unclear.

One of Slitterheads most investing moments is investigating the Echoes of Love Society.

While the game isnt too scary, these monsters are unsettling, especially when you see them transform.

Still,Slitterheadis not without its problems, but these are mostly relegated to the gameplay.

While the combat is fun and engaging, it could do with a bit more combo variety.
