The southern gothic dread has a remarkable similarity to that of the 1974 film, immersing the player in an environment where all feels ominous and dangerous – for if a threat isn’t hot on your tail at the moment, it constantly feels as if everything could go wrong in a second. I’m not the first to point this out, but the Baker Family and the atmospheric air throughout Biohazard cries Texas Chain Saw Massacre. Speaking of Resident Evil, there’s no way I can’t bring up Resident Evil 7: Biohazard. This captures the ferocity of Leatherface, making for a brilliant tribute to the villain. Even if you shoot and keep them down briefly, they get back up and continue their chase.
The Chainsaw people are relentless foes unlike that of many other enemies in the game, they do not slow down. I know I’m not alone when I say that – when I played RE4 for the first time – the Chainsaw enemy freaked me out. Characters that come to mind right away are Resident Evil 4 ’s Chainsaw Men/Chainsaw Sisters. To me, this is the most interesting use of Leatherface in a game, for while it’s cool to see him take on the chasing slasher approach and… wield an AK-47 in Call of Duty, I think it’s wild as hell to see him rip through Sub-Zero.īut more common than that of Leatherface and The Texas Chain Saw Massacre games is that of what they’ve inspired. In Mortal Kombat X, Leatherface was one of the several out-of-universe DLC characters players could control, with his main weapon obviously being that of a chainsaw. Having been featured in the popular horror title Dead By Daylight and even making an appearance in Call of Duty ’s multiplayer, Leatherface has also been a playable character in Mortal Kombat. But, like many of his fellow slashers, Leatherface has made several cameos in other games. Wow, hope you handled that better than I did.īeyond the 1983 game, there are no other main video game entries for that of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. The game ultimately did not sell well due to its graphic and upsetting nature below we’ve included a picture of this game, but do brace yourself for this depiction of this graphic NSFW violence: As the player cuts people down with a chainsaw, they must also dodge their way through obstacles. The game involves a point-based system, the player taking control of Leatherface and being tasked with taking down trespassers. The 1983 Atari 2600 title (developed by VSS, Inc).
īesides the upcoming The Texas Chain Saw Massacre game being developed by Gun Media, how many Texas Chain Saw Massacre games have been released? Well that would be just the one.

With Netflix’s upcoming The Texas Chain Saw Massacre movie on the horizon, I thought it would be fun to not only look back on Leatherface’s appearance in gaming, but also to highlight games that have pulled inspiration from him and The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. Whereas a lot of stalker/slashers in gaming may pull inspiration from that of Jason and/or Michael, Leatherface is more specific his animalistic bloodlust and chainsaw-wielding menace are his trademark appeals, which has been adapted numerous times throughout gaming. That said, the property has had its fair share of influence throughout gaming, particularly regarding of villains and enemy types. Surprisingly though, there isn’t all that much. For nearly half a century, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre has been a reigning terror of slasher horror cinema – so one might assume there’d be a few video game adaptations of it by now.
