Stop what you’re doing and hit up Steam, because Art the Clown has arrived! The demo for Terrifier: The ARTcade Game is available right now for Steam Next Fest, and it’s a glorious, gore-soaked beat ’em up sidescroller that lets you leave a bloody trail of mayhem in your wake. Get ready to hack, slash, and guffaw your way through the absolute chaos.
This isn’t just a simple brawler—it’s meta mayhem. You get to play as Art the Clown, who is apparently not impressed that someone is trying to make a movie about his past horrors. His solution? Disrupt and dismember everything on the movie sets!
You’ll go solo or team up with your friends across various stages. Each is designed as a film set that Art is determined to destroy. You’ve got everything from blunt objects to cleavers and chainsaws, plus powerful finishing executions that turn every enemy encounter into a hilariously gruesome piece of performance art. The more brutal and creative you get, the better!
