A Classic... Wannabe !
As Slain ! tries very hard to be a good game, I'm not happy to give him only two stars. But unfortunately, he deserves such a treatment, due to his countless imperfections. I was very enthusiastic to put my hands on such a good-looking old-school platformer, the trailer was cool, the music seemed to rock... What a disappointment. If, like me before I tried it, you want to buy this game, no matter the commentaries, let me warn you about the truth before Slain ! . 1/ The so-called "old-school" difficulty is really just the consequence of an excessive amount of the bad guys health points, broken hitboxes which aren't working well, sometimes too thin, sometimes too large, and a battle feedback which is ABSOLUTELY non-existent, I mean, it's just not there, and all this mixed up get you as frustrated as possible, just like what we all hate in the 90's games. The whole feeling of this game is spoilt. 2/ The pixel-art graphics is repetitive and not so cool past the first hour. At first you like what you see, like "woa such a cool dark-fantasy world dude", except that if you stay still for one second, you'll notice that's it's not pixel-art, but just a messy 2D graphical ensemble, lazily shaped and awfully designed. Pixels are just spilling all around the place, and eventually become a disgusting and unfinished amateur drawing. Awful. 3/ The music. I'm a metal-lover. But hearing the same musical loops over and over again of some very, very basical compositions, while having a bad day trying to get over the rest of this cataclysm... You want to have fun hearing metal, just launch Quake 2, Slain ! is not what you're looking for. 4/ The worst of it all beeing without a doubt an intolerable lag in the controls. Sometimes you can even push without a response. They just suck, no better word. Too bad, it could have been good. My two stars are for the idea. But it's not even close to passable. To sum up, do not buy it, it's simply a big failure, not worth your time or your money.
