Navigate the urban sprawl of Hong Kong, possess citizens, and battle monstrous Slitterheads in this comprehensive walkthrough for Slitterhead. Learn combat strategies and uncover the twisted plot.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    The game begins with you as a bodiless spirit in contemporary Hong Kong, tasked with fighting Slitterheads, monsters that possess humans and eat brains.
  2. 2
    Your primary mechanic is possessing humans to fight. Initially, combat can be overwhelming due to enemy attacks and stun locks, but the game encourages rapid body-switching to utilize buffs from newly possessed characters.
  3. 3
    Slitterheads must be chased down and defeated. The game captures a sense of pursuit, similar to a cartoon chase sequence.
  4. 4
    Identifying disguised Slitterheads involves finding them among civilians. While the game features a sight-jacking mechanic similar to Siren, the repetitive environments and a prominent visual effect make it largely unnecessary.
  5. 5
    The game has a mission-based structure, alternating between dialogue-heavy conversations and action in urban levels. Missions often involve chasing and fighting enemies.
  6. 6
    The story introduces a time loop and a complex narrative involving 'good' Slitterheads, leading to a convoluted plot with parallel universes and unexpected twists.
  7. 7
    The plot centers around 'Rarities,' characters with special upgradable superpowers. The game may halt progress until optional characters are found, despite their minimal impact on the main story.
Tips
  • Constantly switch bodies during combat to maintain buffs and overwhelm enemies.
  • Utilize the parry system effectively, but don't rely on it solely when facing multiple opponents.
  • Pay attention to the visual cues that highlight Slitterheads, as they simplify identification.
  • Be prepared for a confusing narrative; focus on the core gameplay mechanics.
  • The game's 'optional' characters are often required to progress, so seek them out.
