Indie developer Wolf Brew Games has announced that their Gothic Metroidvania-style action-platformer Slain! won’t be making its January 27th release date, and instead will be hitting Steam on March 24th.
According to the developer, ”The game needs a few last tweaks because right now no mortal man or woman could possibly get past Slain!’s intense platforming, traps and monstrosities.”

Slain! pays homage to the old hack-and-slashers from the 1980’s and 1990’s, with a music score inspired by such hard metal bands like Metalocalypse’s fictional band Dethklok and real-life band Slayer, and 16-bit graphics. The game ”features a strategic twist that has players use elemental weapons” as players employ ”mana spells and cunning skill to exploit the weaknesses of enemies such as werewolves.”
