SFX360:
First of all, this is a review done by someone who has never played a Ska Studios game, so some of the readers may find this review a little rough. I am aware of The Dishwasher series from friends talking about the 1st installment of franchise. So when The Dishwasher: VS came up for reviews, I was very interested in doing it.
After the game was downloaded, I started it up and jumped into the 1st level. I was completely lost in the story. So I ended up downloading the demo of the 1st and doing a few hours of video research online so I could be in the loop of things.
Hardcore Gamer: They brought multiple games to XBLA, some of which went on to become cult classics. These were Charlie Murder and The Dishwasher: Vampire Smile. Each title features hand-drawn, punk-inspired visuals and are tremendously gory.

"Today I’m (in)formally announcing that I’ve been working on Steam versions of Ska Studios’ Charlie Murder and The Dishwasher: Vampire Smile! The Steam versions will be available for Linux, macOS and Windows on day 1, and will include all the features of the Xbox 360 versions including online multiplayer, achievements and leaderboards. They will also be the debut titles for FNA.Steamworks, a new reimplementation of the XNA4 Xbox Live features for FNA (which all versions of the game will be using)."
Yeah, the gameplay evolution is quite evident. Still, I loved Ska Studios' earlier work, so I'm really happy that they are releasing both CM and The Dishwasher: VS on PC.

They took a bit of time to answer some questions about their latest title 'Salt and Sanctuary' and give some insight on the development process over at SkaStudios."
