Prepare to be Slain! Will you accept the challenge...
Players control Bathoryn, a hero in a Gothic world, seeking to liberate the 6 great towers from 6 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
- Generate, conserve and use your mana wisely
Accompanied by the heavy metal visuals is an even heavier metal soundtrack recorded by Curt Victor Bryant (formally of Celtic Frost).
Features
- Unique puzzle-combat with non linear progression.
- 10+(?) hours of bone-crushing, metal fueled mayhem & gore.
- Choose from 3 unique weapons in your fight against the demon horde.
- Full soundtrack recorded by Curt Victor Bryant formally of Celtic Frost . /m/
- Secrets (shhh).
- Boss fights, mini-boss fights, sub-mini-boss fights, macro-sub-mini-boss fights!
- No leveling, no grinding, no crafting!
- Unique puzzle-combat with non linear progression.
Quick PSA for anyone interested in playing Valfaris on Switch the game page is now live, which means you can find Valfaris in the eShop's 'Coming Soon' section and add it to your 'Watch List'.
Once added to your Watch List, you can then conveniently purchase it from there when available, rather than having to search or navigate the eShop for it again. I *think* Nintendo updated the Watch List function earlier this year so it alerts you when a game on your Watch List is released or if it goes on sale. But don't quote me on that I've had games on my Watch List, but don't ever recall being sent an alert. So... not sure?
Anyway, don't let my lack of Watch List knowledge detract from the exciting news that Valfaris is now viewable in the eShop, and the release is imminent, arriving on 10th October, just like the Steam (and GOG and Humble) version.
And no need to feel left out if you can't Watch List on Switch, you can still Wishlist on Steam by hitting the widget below :)
