I admit, I am a complete sucker for both action games and older / pixelized style visuals. The combination of the two, plus the fantastic art design in the recently revealed Slain has me excited for my first Xbox One game in a long time. A trailer for the upcoming game was just released and immediately took a spot near the top of my “gaming radar”.
Slain puts you in the shoes of a hero in a Gothic world, Bathoryn. You will be challenged with taking down seven evil overlords who have taken control of seven great towers. It has a fantastic, old school-arcade look to it both in its art style and animation. I would pump quarters into something like this endlessly if it popped up at a local arcade when I was younger.
The game is launching soon (exact date not revealed) on the Xbox One.
