    Here's what it ultimately comes down to, I guess: Draw Slasher is a fun game, and I'd encourage you to play it, but only if you're paying the lowest price possible. If you do literally all your mobile gaming on your Vita, then by all means, buy it and enjoy. If you have an iDevice, though…you might want to think about just how much Trophies mean to you, and make your decision from there.

    A fun game which makes great use of the PlayStation Vita's touch screen to slice zombies in half. Logical, since the game made its debut on mobile devices. Less logical is the price of the game. Which is three times of what you would pay for the mobile version. [June 2013, p.90]

    This can't help but feel like an over-expensive mobile game. [Aug 2013, p.69]

    Draw Slasher isn’t a system seller, but it doesn’t claim to be. What it is though is the sort of game that the system needs, quick pick up games that made iOS as successful as it is today. At £3.99 it does seem expensive when compared to the 69p types on iOS, but you will easily get more than your money’s worth.

    Provided you haven’t driven yourself mad with the many touch slashing games already available on a multitude of touchscreen devices, Draw Slasher is a serviceable game to help you spend a few hours killing enemies with your fingers. Like I said though, you should wait for a sale because it isn’t anything you have to play right away.

    Draw Slasher is a great idea, largely ruined by a design problems.

And while it isn't perfect, I'm delighted to say that I'm super glad that I did.

    I was initially, ahem drawn (I know, shoot me! No more puns, promise!) by the gorgeous backdrops, fluid animation and variety of enemies, but all the same, I must admit to harbouring reservations over the smartphone-centric swiping mechanic that lies at the heart (and title) of this terrific little hack'n slasher.

    As with any gamer worth his salt, I'd (almost) always take a conventional analogue stick and buttons over the Fruit Ninja-esque swipes and flicks favoured by the casual crowd, but thankfully however, that isn't necessarily the case here as the touch controls feel entirely natural and perfectly usable.

    Considering the pinpoint deftness that a true ninja must have in his locker, developer, Mass Creation must be congratulated for ensuring their slashing protagonist is most assuredly neat, discreet and oh so light on his feet.

Very funny dialogue and main characters, it's charming. I enjoyed my time with the game, and might go for 100%, but this is a main story review. Go for it for fun, beautiful graphics, and kinda difficult touchscreen slashing action!

    Update #1: After playing the optional content like Arcades and Challenges, I bumped the score from 7 to 8. As I enjoyed collecting the trophies for it except the get the 3 stars in all challenges trophy which I ignored as it's almost impossible if you don't have computer like reflexes.    … Full Review »
