Here's a video from the XBLA release:Īs for Charlie Murder, that's about the members of the eponymous punk band beating their way through a death metal band Gore Quaffer and their fans.
#THE DISHWASHER VAMPIRE SMILE REVIEW PC#
Dishwasher kinda came to PC in 2013, when some scamp pirate-o-ported it this is the real deal. It's a follow-up to 2009's The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai, which isn't on PC but don't let that get in the way - you stab things real good and they bleed real hard. Its presentation is dark and oppressive, but gorgeous in its way-hand-drawn black and white characters swooping and diving through a backdrop of hazy reds and oranges, splashes of blood and water. The Dishwasher: Vampire Smile is a hack 'n' slash platformer, with the violence and intensity of your Ninja Gaidens and whatnot squeezed into 2D hand-drawn art. Vampire Smile hit Xbox 360 via Xbox Live Arcade in 2011 then Charlie Murder followed in 2013, and the two have been slowly heading to PC pretty much ever since. In the traditional Ska way, they've got sketchy art, co-op, buckets of moodiness, and shedloads of blood.

We've contacted Ska Studios about this so-called vigilante justice and will update as we hear back.Salt and Sanctuary creators Ska Studios have finally brought two of their earlier games to PC, the stabby platformer The Dishwasher: Vampire Smile and beat 'em up Charlie Murder. I gave only the opportunity to play for those people who have no Xbox 360." "Original Xbox 360 version for pirates is more attractive. He then explained that the PC version lacked some of the XBLA original's features such as co-op, online play, and achievements. This also applies to Xbox 360 which has the opportunity to play pirated games."
To this, Barabus responded in a comment to the IndieStatik report, "Users always have the option to pay for the game or not. I get that piracy is a service problem, but that's a consequence, not a justification." He assumes a lot about why Vampire Smile's not on PC yet, and he could have cleared up a lot of those assumptions by just emailing me. But I'm bewildered by the cracker's attempt to justify the morality of it.

I'm not mad about the crack itself, in fact, I'm actually pretty impressed. "I'm flattered that there's this much interest in Vampire Smile on PC. "I guess you could say my reaction is mixed," Silva told IndieStatik. Of course, this does cut into sales in the sense that many people own both Xbox 360s and PCs, so one could potentially just pirate the PC version instead.Īmazingly, Ska Studios founder James Silva doesn't have that big an issue with his game being spread around the interwebs. If the game came out on PC officially, then this thread would not exist." After all, if they wanted to earn money, then the game would be issued on all available platforms. "Given that developers ignore the PC platform, about any loss of profit for them is not out of the question. "We do not steal the game for the Xbox 360, we release it for the PC port," Barabus continued. "I have to argue that the part of the authors are not very nice to publish the game exclusively for the Xbox 360, making it impossible for PC gamers to play in such a great game," wrote Barabus on the forums (via Google Translate). Instead, Russian hacker Barabus, took it upon himself to spread the joy and mirth of Vampire Smile to the PC crowd by pirating the 2011 game without Ska's permission. Original story: Ska Studios' stylish black-and-white-with-red-all-over slice-'em-up, The Dishwasher: Vampire Smile, has been ported from its native home of XBLA onto PC with one hitch: it's not an official port. The Ska Studios cats could not be reached for comment, because they are cats.

"I'm kind of livid myself, I just see him as the overly-entitled gamer saying 'I deserve this because I want it!' I was saying earlier on Twitter 'Halo: Spartan Assault only on Windows 8 devices! That Russian guy should port it FOR GREAT JUSTICE!' Like James though, he's going to do what he's going to do and it's kind of impressive but trying to justify it morally really irks me." "James is always the good cop," she said in an e-mail to Eurogamer. Ska "art unicorn" Michelle Juett wasn't as forgiving. Update: Ska founder James Silva has responded to this bizarre turn events further by stating to Eurogamer, "I should add that I'm totally giving the guy the benefit of the doubt and saying he probably didn't mean to come across quite the way he did with that restoration of justice stuff."
