Castlevania inspired indie game Slain arrives on PC in March

Indie dev Wolfbrew announced yesterday that their excellent looking 2D action adventure Slain has a new launch date. The game is set to arrive on PC via Steam on March 24 after previously having been slated for a late January release.

Slain, developed by Andrew Gilmour and Asa Dang at Wolfbrew, was kickstarted to the tune of $19,000 last year and was originally meant to be released in 2015. According to fresh press release it needs more work but on the upside it is also mentioned that the game is coming to PS4, PS Vita, Wii U and Xbox One in May.

At the heart of each tower, he must confront a mighty overlord. Defeat it and Bathoryn's quest continues. Fail, and you'll die gruesomely - mauled by werewolves, disintegrated by floating monstrosities, squashed by great weights or torn apart by hidden blades. And you will fail..."
