Jack the Reaper (Game)

Jack the Reaper is a 3D hack-n-slash/action game developed by Toshiko Games.

Plot
When the Rune of Samhain (a stone tablet containing the spirit of an ancient Celtic demon) is delivered anonymously to the Museum of Natural History in New York City and dropped, the demon Samhain is released. He stops time and makes it October 31st for all eternity, allowing the bad spirits to roam the Earth. However, a magic spell temporarily stops the spirits from leaving New York City.

The Grand Council of Reapers, in a panic, summons a promising rookie known as Jack O. Lantern. They offer him a deal; if he stops Samhain and reaps all the souls that Samhain has raised, they will make him an official reaper.

Gameplay
Jack the Reaper is a mix of "Hack-N-Slash" and "Action Game", with some platforming and Quick Time Event segments. Jack must journey through a variety of levels, all based off of areas of New York City. Each world is split into 5 rounds.

In each round, Jack must reach the round's end while reaping as many spirits as possible. At the end of a round, Jack's score, based on his speed, the number of spirits reaped, and other factors, is calculated. At the end of each Round 5 stage, Jack must fight a boss.

Jack has three weapons: the Scythe, the Spirit Sash, and the Crossbone. The Scythe is Jack's primary weapon, and is used to destroy grounded corporeal spirits and objects. It is also used to deplete a spirit's Ectoplasmic Energy. The Spirit Sash is used to lasso fleeing spirits and reel them in, in order to attack with the Scythe. The Crossbone is Jack's ranged attack, used for attacking flying corporeal spirits such as the Gargoyle.
