The game also goes full old-school with its SEGA Genesis-era visuals. It features six game modes and showcases over-the-top violence. In Terrifier: The ARTcade Game, players will have to disrupt movie sets where films about their own gruesome acts are being shot.
Instead of letting the cameras capture the staged terror, you will help Art the Clown bring his own brand of real chaos. He will tear through hordes of policemen and other characters as well as unsuspecting civilians, according to IGN.
The game also promises that players will be able to perform over-the-top finishing moves. It features boss battles at the end of every stage and gives you access to powerups and weapons, such as chainsaws and cleavers.
