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).

Brace for impact! Hot new Valfaris GIFs INCOMING!
The dev team at Steel Mantis is busy building and populating the floating fortress of Valfaris and, oh boy, things are coming along very nicely indeed.
Check out the cityscape spires silhouetted by that brilliant orange sun:
It's a pretty picture, for sure, but let's not ignore all the skulls, bones, blood, and other trademark gothic touches in the foreground that are keeping things METAL!
And check out how formidable this Drone Master looks:
As if its sheer size isn't terrifying enough, this armor-clad bad-ass appears to be armed with a weapon that's twice as big as Therion and its pincer-fist looks like the perfect tool for dismembering human flesh-bags.

That's all for now. We hope you like what you see.
More updates soon, but in the meantime, keep it metal.
