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).

New level alert! Steel Mantis dropped a surprise this week with the news that they're working on a new level the Dead Eco Chambers. That's all the info I have, but you can absorb the latent power of this mysterious new area by staring at it in the GIF above and beaming it into your eyes.
