Review: Slitterhead
Bokeh Game Studio’s pilot project, Slitterhead, is high in ambitions but does it stick the landing?
What are Rarities in Slitterhead?
As those who’ve ventured the streets ofKowlongknow, they are full of dangerous monsters, including the dreadedSlitterhead. Normal humans under the possession of Night Owl can stand a bit of a chance against them with their weapons, but not enough to even the odds. Fortunately, a select few have proven to be more than capable of harnessing true powers under Night Owl: Rarities. They can easily help turn the tables and grant you, and those around you, some benefits, whether more health or boosted attack power. There are a total of eight Rarities to unlock over the course ofSlitterhead.
All the rarities are needed in order to progress to certain missions, so make sure to check the mission and see if you missed them on your initial run.
