About

You control the fate of Bathoryn, a doomed hero in a Gothic world, who seeks to liberate six cursed realms from six deadly overlords.

He must battle his way through this blighted land, packed with gruesome and lethal creatures before ascending (or sometimes descending) into a stronghold, all the while defeating fiendish traps and vile monsters alike.

Accompanying the heavy metal visuals is an even heavier metal soundtrack recorded by Curt Victor Bryant, formerly of Celtic Frost.

  • Challenging elemental-based melee and magical combat
  • Six hours of bone-crushing, metal-fuelled mayhem and grisly gore
  • Choose from three unique weapons in your fight against the demon hordes
  • Full soundtrack recorded by Curt Victor Bryant, formerly of Celtic Frost.
  • Cunningly concealed secrets (shhh)
  • Boss fights, mini-boss fights, sub-mini boss fights and macro-sub mini-boss fights
  • No labourious levelling, no tedious grinding, no wimpy crafting!

Like the inside of Ozzy Osborne's head, Slain is simultaneously gorgeous, intense, chaotic and deeply, deeply frustrating. The presentation is excellent, with every part of the game exhibiting stunning 2D animation that really brings its hellish underworld to life. Where it all falls apart is the gameplay; Slain is simply no fun to play thanks to its painful difficulty level which chokes the tantalizing potential of its combat system. While it has been compared to the Castlevania series – and its combo mechanics call to mind the underrated Mirror of Fate – Slain isn't really worthy to be mentioned in the same breath as Konami's legendary gothic franchise.

4/10
