In the midst of all the chaos named PAX East, I found an outlet for all my nerd rage in Dishwasher: Vampire Smile. The edgy art, the gore, and the over-the-top finishes helped me find a reason to smirk today on the show floor. In a convention with little room to stretch your arms, I was fortunate enough to play the demos for the Dishwasher and his sibling. Vampire Smile utilizes a whole new engine, and features two campaigns — one for each playable character.
The Dishwasher’s moves and the scenarios he finds himself in are still intact from the games’ predecessor — and so is the difficulty. When I was playing on normal difficulty, I probably died the most in his particular demo (where I’m on a construction elevator going up, while also fighting non-stop waves of enemies) because of the unexpected elements that appeared. Though, Dishwasher comes equipped for such gruesome bloodshed with two new weapons: the violence hammer that is covered in barbed wire, and the guillotine that looks like a large pair of scissors — expect a lot of decapitations.
