Splatterhouse 3 is a beat 'em up that was developed by Now Production and is the third game in the Splatterhouse series. It changes up the formula by adding a less linear level progression and an isometric area similar to other beat 'em ups such as Streets of Rage. The player now has to navigate rooms in order to find the exit out of the level. As with the previous games, Splatterhouse 3 stars Rick Taylor as he goes off to rescue his wife and son from supernatural monsters with the reluctant help of the Terror Mask, a sentient ancient artifact that grants powers to anyone that wears it.
