Developer Wolf Brew Games is attempting to resurrect their heavy metal inspired, 16 bit action adventure title, Slain! with upgrades, updates, patches and a new title, Slain: Back From Hell.
Slain! initially had gamers salivating at its beautiful, 16 bit graphical style and Castlevania-like look and feel, but, unfortunately, the gameplay didn't match up with the game's aesthetic, and reviewers were not kind.
Good on Wolf Brew for not leaving everyone in the lurch, claiming they have addressed every area that was not up to par, from the combat to the collision detection, and hopefully we now have the game that got everyone so excited in the first place. They are also tossing in a free gift code of the updated title for everyone who bought the original, which is a nice, apologetic touch.
Here's the official explanation for what happened to Slain!
"If you were looking forward to decapitating heads in Slain! and reigning in the blood of giant Flesh Hounds, werewolves and other monstrosities, then you may have been a little bummed when the game initially launched. With the prospect of Slain! slipping its release date yet again Digerati made the (now understood to be a tad reckless) call to release Slain! as it was and hot fix/patch over the next few weeks post release. Unfortunately, the problems turned out to be a lot deeper than first thought and then the original team disbanded, which left just the lead artist. The code that needed fixing fell on a new programmer’s shoulders, and he obviously had to take time to understand the new code base and then change/re-write big chunks that extended the timeline massively. But it is all fixed now and the game is where Digerati would've liked it to be the first time around."
The changelist is pretty extensive, we'll let you know how it all turns out.
Slain: Back From Hell is available for the Switch on December 7th, and is available for PS4, Vita and PC now.
