    Well, I'm not going to say that is a remarkable game, but a 4.7 is too harsh ... The game is fun, I'm like at 33% of the game and I'm enjoying it right now ... I bought it at a sale and think it worth the money, maybe not full price but overall is a nice game

    Slain: Back from Hell es un juego jodidísimo. Me ha costado terminarlo un verdadero triunfo. Porque... eso es lo malo que tiene el juego. Una dificultad muy elevada y en ocasiones tremendamente injusta. Pero, porque debe haber un pero. Sus gráficos, su diseño, su música y su respeto por la jugabilidad clásica en un hermoso pixel-art te enganchan y te hacen luchar contra él a muerte. PorSlain: Back from Hell es un juego jodidísimo.

Por que solo un verdadero heavy puede acabar este juego.

    Slain: Back from Hell es un plataformas y hack and slash en 2 dimensiones, que recuerda a los antiguos Castlevania, pero con un toque más gore, heavy y moderno.

    Es un juego muy recomendable solo si eres un jugador hardcore, con mucha paciencia y con ganas de superarte.    … Expand

    Nach dem Patch definitiv mit den anderen Versionen gleichzusetzen. Grafik und Sound sind eine Wonne, das Spiel ist tatsächlich gut.

    Can be very challenging. Meatball boss sucks balls. Im currently still on the last level. It's a wonderful game, but very difficult, as in, if you are bad, the game has no problem killing you over and over. I.e. git gud

    this game is pretty fun. Valfaris is better but the game can be fun. It can get hard too and some people say that slain rarley has check points. The combat is fun but alittle complicated and not as good as it's successor. I wish I knew I could parry sooner as it only showed me how to parry once but that's my fault. Lastly I loved the music to the game. It makes me feelthis game is pretty fun. Valfaris is better but the game can be fun. It can get hard too and some people say that slain rarley has check points.

    Good 2D action game with heavy metal theme. The rework really fix the bugs and problemas of the primal game.

    Visuals-wise, Slain: Back from Hell for Nintendo Switch is one of the most '80s Metal videogames in existence. Unfortunately, the actual gameplay just doesn't cut it, as the controls often feel unresponsive and the level of challenge unfair. Want to play a Heavy Metal-powered Castlevania? Just play a Castlevania title with Iron Maiden on the headphones.

    Slain: Back from Hell is not a game that everyone will enjoy. It’s difficult and requires a lot of patience to see it through to the end. It’s also not a very long game. My first playthrough clocked in at around seven hours, though better players could certainly finish it more quickly. There’s also nothing new to do once you’ve slain Vroll. But if you have a thing for the difficult platformers of yore, Slain: Back from Hell is a satisfying blend of what made those games great.

    Despite the very pleasing sound and visuals, Slain is just too unforgiving to be as fun as it should be. I'm glad I've finished it, because those damned flying enemies swooping down on me are giving me nightmares.
