You can't kill the metal, the metal will live on.



<span class="bold">Slain!</span>, a heavy-metal action/platformer full of facemelting gore, is now available, DRM-free on GOG.com for Windows, Mac, and Linux, with GOG Galaxy support for achievements and a 10% launch discount.

Metalheads, sharpen your oversized swords and prepare your sensitive ears. This is the epic, gory, and totally heavy-metal story of Bathoryn, the long-haired hero that decided to storm six creepy-looking towers, home to six terrible overlords. Will you help him wipe the toothy grins off their ugly mugs or will you let him get Slain?

You need to master three deadly weapons, learn their gruesome combos, then figure out which one serves you best in any given situation. Switching between them quickly and timing your attacks perfectly are key to overcoming the cunning traps and the demonic hordes spread across this gothic land. Learn your craft well and your enemies will explode into a deadly bouquet of pixel-art gore. Τake one wrong step and they will get the metallic taste of your blood in their mouths. Probably while listening to the awesome soundtrack, courtesy of heavy-metal legend Curt Victor Bryant. Those bastards.



Steel your heart and hand with heavy-metal and don't let your legend get <span class="bold">Slain!</span>, DRM-free on GOG.com. The 10% discount will last until March 31, 6:59 PM GMT.
cool
Looks great! Spent a little too much during the Insomnia sale though, so I will only wishlist it for the moment. But I'm sure I will pick it up in the future.
Fuck. Yes.
Ah, nice to see this show up here. Going to wait for a few reviews, but it looks like something I might enjoy.

I'm a bit torn about the visual style -- the pixel art is decent enough, but it's also smothered by all sorts of modern shader effects. I guess it's just what Indie devs do these days, but often I wish they'd settle for a more consistent visual style.
Looks reminiscent of the old Castlevanias. BTW there's a typo in one of the screenshots "decaptiation"
This looks interesting.
Volgarr the Viking's brother is here! Too bad the bank is closed tomorrow otherwise instabuy, will have to wait till Saturday.

Great release.

What we needed was Brütal Legend 2... but now, the Kill Master is gone, and it won't be the same without him... even if it happens.

Dalthnock: Bathoryn?

Based on the band, the countess or both?

I need that critical information before I make a purchase.

Thats either the most ugly, very hairy, bearded & manly countess ever or a guy ;)
COOL!
Nice game, needs some polish though, gamepad controls are a bit rough. Animation is great, reminds me of ol classics like Flashback. Music is superb!! Back to gaming...
