A Nightmare on Elm Street is an arcade game in which we will face a murderer ruling the land of dreams, Freddy Krueger. In this adaptation of the cult series of horror films, we play the role of one of the six available characters, each of which differs from each other in terms of skills and statistics. After choosing a hero, we have to save the rest of our friends from the clutches of a terrifying villain, find his abode and destroy him once and for all. But we have to hurry up, because the more time passes, the closer we get to falling asleep and the easier it is for Freddy to target. Apart from the main opponent, there will also be numerous monsters on our way, such as bats and zombies, and completing the stages will require performing various puzzles, combing many labyrinths and obtaining items. The gameplay is also possible in multiplayer mode on one screen, and up to three companions can join us, each of whom can choose their own character.
