How co-op works
Two-player online or local co-op campaign where partners chain combos and coordinate attacks through fast-paced sidescrolling combat encounters, with split-screen and online PvP modes also available.
About this game
The Dishwasher: Vampire Smile is a sidescrolling action platformer blending combo-driven melee combat with a stark, hand-drawn graphic novel aesthetic. Players carve through waves of enemies using an arsenal of weapons and finishing moves rendered in visceral detail, all while navigating platforming challenges across levels that favor speed and aggression.

Combat revolves around stringing together attacks, juggling enemies, and timing brutal counters. The combo system rewards momentum, pushing players to stay on the offensive while managing health and dodging incoming threats. Weapon variety encourages experimentation, and the visual style amplifies every clash with exaggerated gore and sharp contrast.
A two-player co-op campaign lets friends tackle the entire story together, either online or through local split-screen, with PvP modes adding head-to-head competition for those who want to test their skills directly. Cross-platform multiplayer support expands matchmaking options, and the fast pacing suits both short sessions and extended runs through increasingly demanding encounters.
