Slime-San's First Free DLC Pack To Make A Mess On Nintendo Switch Mid-February

Gunge on the go

by Dom Reseigh-Lincoln Tue 30th Jan 2018

As developer Fabraz gears up to release its second wave of free DLC for Slime-san - Sheeple's Sequel - on PC, the indie developer has confirmed the Switch version will getting the first instalment - Blackbird's Kraken - around mid-February.

If you've yet to pick it up on the Switch eShop, it's a twitch-style platformer that shares a common intense thread with Super Meat Boy, while employing a set of moves and abilities (including a special 'phase' power) that makes it a fundamentally unique little indie. Check out our very own Conor McMahon's review if you need any more convincing (spoilers: he liked it a lot).

Check out the official trailer for the DLC below. Have you picked up Slime-san already? If not, would some free levels coax you in? Let us know!

Is the second DLC coming to Switch, too? Oh Slime-san, the game that keeps on giving. I've spent 35 hours already with this masterpiece which has no right to be that awesome. To think more free content is around the corner I'm more than impressed. Fabraz I admire you.

Really couldn't get into this one. It was okay, but okay doesn't equal a purchase.

"the indie developer has confirmed the Switch version will be getting the first instalment"

Also, Conor McMahon reviewed it, not Damien McFerran. Jeez... This sloppiness is beyond a joke now.

Edit: Well done for partially fixing the article... Good effort.

Slime-San is a game with great gameplay, unique visual design, and surprisingly entertaining NPCs. The game is receiving free DLC that could easily be paid, but isn’t. Additionally, Fabraz is a super nice guy on Twitter. Slime-San is a hard platformer with 100% more slime than Celeste for about half the price. Try it!

Wow!! All that is free? Awesome!!

I love this game a lot, specially the art-style. Is quite long and some parts are very hard. If you are a platformer addict this game should be on your Switch.

It's a fine game but I personally don't find it that interesting. I bought it and played 10-15 levels in couple of days. Then I picked it up a month later and played few more levels. I haven't played it since.

I don't know what it is. It plays fine. I don't mind the look of it. I just find it a bit... boring? I know a lot of people love it so it's great to see additional content. And it's free too. I will give it another chance at some point but right now I'm happy with Celeste.

I enjoyed Slime-San but gave up on it before reaching the end. A fresh, free update may be just the thing to get me playing it again!

im not even that sensitive to graphics, but this is one of those cases where everyone says the game is great, but it just does not LOOK good. But i plan to play it--i trust the reviews!
