Slain: Back from Hell

Slain: Back from Hell for Nintendo Switch is a gritty, merciless 2D action game that combines classic hack-and-slash gameplay with a heavy metal-inspired aesthetic. In the role of the undead hero Bathoryn, you fight your way through a cursed world full of bloodthirsty monsters, deadly traps and dark magic - with only one goal: to end the reign of the seven cruel rulers over the realm.

The game pays homage to the classic action platformers of the 80s and 90s, combined with a brutal level of difficulty, precise combat system and a distinctive visual style. The detailed pixel art is completely hand-drawn and brings the dark fantasy world to life with an impressive atmosphere. Paired with an epic metal soundtrack composed by Celtic Frost guitarist Curt Victor Bryant, Slain: Back from Hell delivers an audiovisual experience of a special kind.

The focus is on tactical combat: You have to block, dodge, counter and strike at the right moment - wild button mashing quickly leads to death. In addition to swordplay, you can also use magic attacks and expand your arsenal to defeat increasingly powerful enemies. Each section requires precise timing, patience and skill - ideal for players looking for a real challenge.

On the Nintendo Switch, you can experience Slain: Back from Hell in both TV and handheld mode - perfect for short sessions on the go or hours of boss battles at home. The smooth performance and intuitive controls make this bloody adventure a delight for genre fans on the Switch too.

Slain: Back from Hell is an uncompromising action game with a hard edge - ideal for retro fans, metal lovers and gamers who aren't afraid of a real trip to hell with style and substance.
