How Splatterhouse 3 Bloody Edition Plays
New to Splatterhouse is the Power Meter, which can be filled by collecting Eldritch Orbs found throughout levels and occasionally are dropped by defeated enemies. Although this does not affect gameplay, running out of time results in changes in the plot, creating four possible endings. For example; in the second level you are tasked with saving Rick's wife Jennifer from being devoured by a boreworm.
Once the bar is filled by at least one orb, the player can transform Rick into a hulking and more monstrous version of himself with the Terror Mask being seemingly fused to his head. Each level must be cleared in a certain amount of time. Extra lives and health items are also scattered throughout the levels.
Why Players Still Load It Up
Bad Ending (both died): If Rick fails to save both his wife and child, the ending goes as usual, but it states that Rick "stands alone, the weight of failure hanging heavily on him". A fun and gory ride with plenty of enemies to pummel and a solid game engine makes this a blast to play." Its graphics are explicit and gross, but in an over-the-top way"; Ceccola concluded: "Splatterhouse 3 adds more play elements in the form of a map, time limits and multiple endings, but it all boils down to cartoon violence taken to the extreme." AllGame editor Geoffrey Douglas Smith praised Splatterhouse 3, stating that the game "stands at the top of the beat-'em-up heap on Genesis.
Apart from a more pleasant tune, the Mask's dialog changes. Rick must don the mask for the third time and fight the monsters that have invaded his mansion. There are four possible endings, depending on if the player saves Jennifer and David, saves one or the other, or fails to save them both.
