Slain: Back from Hell
You control the fate of Bathoryn, a doomed hero in a Gothic world, who seeks to liberate six cursed realms from six deadly overlords.
He must battle his way through this blighted land, packed with gruesome pixel art foes before ascending (or sometimes descending) into a stronghold, all the while defeating fiendish traps and vile monsters alike.
At the heart of every domain Bathoryn will confront a mighty foe - defeat it and his quest continues to its ultimate destiny. 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…
There are 3 key areas to be mastered in order to vanquish Slain: Back from Hell.
- Learn to wield 3 deadly elemental weapons, each one exploiting weaknesses in different enemy types. Each has a different combo, timing and use. Mastering quick switching between weapons is the path to victory!
- Glean the placement and timings of enemies and booby traps.
- Generate, conserve and unleash your Mana wisely.
Accompanied by the heavy metal visuals is an even heavier metal soundtrack recorded by Curt Victor Bryant (formally of Celtic Frost).

Slain! (later updated as Slain: Back from Hell) is a single-player side-scrolling action platform game. The story follows Bathoryn, a warrior resurrected from death and compelled to rid a gothic realm of its overlords. His quest takes him through ruined castles, cursed forests, and blood-soaked dungeons where monstrous forces hold dominion. The player's role is to guide Bathoryn through each hostile environment, defeating grotesque creatures and ultimately slaying the lords of each domain.
Gameplay emphasizes precise combat mixed with traditional platforming. Bathoryn wields a sword that can be swung for quick attacks or charged for more powerful strikes. Timing and positioning are critical, as enemies often counter careless aggression with heavy damage. Players must also employ blocks and parries, turning defensive actions into opportunities for retaliation. Magical abilities can be unlocked and used alongside melee attacks, offering ranged options against swarms or stronger foes.
The stages are structured as linear gauntlets filled with enemies, traps, and environmental hazards. Players traverse spike pits, collapsing platforms, and other deadly obstacles, where platforming accuracy is as important as combat skill. Boss encounters cap off major sections of the game, requiring mastery of both offensive and defensive techniques to overcome their patterns. Each stage presents unique visual themes tied to the lord who rules that region.
