Luke's game of the week.
There are so many games in the App Store, and I'm on a quest to play them all, which means I'm always playing a different game each week. Whether it's brand new or a classic game I'll let you know what has my attention!
Slayaway Camp
$2.99 - Download Now
Slayaway Camp is an incredibly fun puzzle game that makes the most out of its somewhat wacky premise.
Although the gameplay isn't revolutionary and the difficulty level changes a little too much for my liking, I can't say I was ever bored playing Slayaway Camp. Its dark humor mixed with extreme — but unrealistic — gore is a combination that keeps you entertained for hours on end.
The constant throwbacks, shout outs, and nods to famous horror films of generations past and the inclusion of all the awful tropes you find in those cinematic masterpieces, makes Slayaway Camp an instant gold mine to any movies buffs or 80s fanatics.
Overall, Slayaway Camp has plenty of gameplay to offer in a unique and bloody package that will have you laughing your way through the weirdest killing-spree you have ever seen.
