You want gore? You want monsters? You want heavy metal? You want insanity? Then look no further than the brutal side-scroller Slain!, which we last reported on a few months ago, as it’s finally made it onto Steam after previously being delayed.
Set in a gothic fantasy world, it has you trying to overthrow evil overlords who have taken over, and as you can see from the launch trailer below, it’s as brutal and crazy as they get! I mean Jesus Christ, the official synopsis even promises “gore galore”!
From the Press Release:
A heavy metal inspired combat with puzzle elements and gore galore. Stunning visuals and true old school gameplay with classic arcade combat accompanied by the most metal soundtrack you’ve ever heard. Prepare to be Slain! Will you accept the challenge…
Players control Bathoryn, a hero in a Gothic world, seeking to liberate the great towers from thier deadly overlords.
Bathoryn must battle his way through a doomed land packed with gruesome pixel art foes before ascending (or sometimes descending) each tower, defeating puzzles, traps and monsters alike. At the heart of each tower, he must confront a mighty overlord. Defeat it and Bathoryn’s quest continues. Fail, and you’ll die gruesomely – mauled by werewolves, disintegrated by floating monstrosities, squashed by great weights or torn apart by hidden blades. And you will fail…
There are 3 key areas to be mastered in order to beat Slain! The order of Slain! goes as follows…
Learn to wield 3 deadly elemental weapons, each one exploiting weaknesses in different enemy types. Each weapon has a different combo, timing and ‘ideal’ use. Mastering quick switching between weapons is the key to success!
Learn placement and timings of enemies and traps
