It's like someone went back in time and focus tested 15-year-old me.

I will be getting this the day it comes out on PS4.

 

[Staf]

First i've seen of this. Looks like a 2d Castlevania so obviously count me in on the PS4.

EVerything looks great. I backed this, looking forward to release. Hopefully gameplay holds up to the pretty visuals.

How difficult is the game? Is it more castle Vania sotn or more volgarr? Couldn't get into volgarr because of the difficulty

 

[wanderingprostheyltite]

Game looks gorgeous. This Fall is going to be amazing.

It's going to be difficult, but only if you don't play by the rules! Think of it as a memory puzzle.

can we unlock a double jump!?

That doesn't sound appealing. In what way?

Can you please add amazon payments as a form of paying for it on the humble page? I'll buy immediately.

 

[Mr_D_]

Well a hack and slash strategy will only get you so far. You need to think ahead, where the enemies and traps are placed, learn from your mistakes etc. More like a puzzle game.

We actually aren't in control of that. That is down to Humble.

Lord, this game looks absolutely gorgeous. The art style and animation is so good.

That sucks, either way day 1.

Hi guys, just posted a full series of gifs from the game in one place. Go here! http://steamcommunity.com/games/369070/announcements/detail/781726198827236649

 

[double jump]

Is it March yet ? I need this now.

 

[CopperPuppy]

I'm sure this has been answered elsewhere in the thread, but I can't find anything specific.

What's the release schedule for this, platform-wise? I'm itching to play this on Vita's glorious OLED.

 

[Mr_D_]

October for PC, March for Consoles - XB1, PS4/V & Wii U. Slain! Will most likely go to Vita first.

Looks perfect for a Vita game. Will be waiting anxiously.

That gap... I might need to double dip

 

[CopperPuppy]

Oof... 2016 if I want to play on Vita? Not going to be an easy wait.

march noooooo! op needs an update if that's the case.

 

[SJRB]

Good news on the October release date, bad news on the PS4 release date.

Why the huge difference between platforms?

 

[deleted]

Just discovered this through the bump and want to say that it looks absolutely beautiful.

I don't know if it is for me yet, gameplay wise, but I'll definitely keep and eye on it.

Spoiler

Bloodstained could copy a page or two from you guys in terms of art direction!

 

[Ghost Rider]

This looks great but I don't know if I can wait till march. I wonder if my SP3 will run it

 

[2+2=5]

October for PC, March for Consoles - XB1, PS4/V & Wii U. Slain! Will most likely go to Vita first.

It will be a long wait for the vita version, but i'll buy it for sure

 

[deleted]

It reminds me of the late 90s Diablo Sidescroller, Blizzard never made.

There are a couple of related reasons really...
We are doing all our own port work (as of now). WBG only consists of 3 peoples. It was only 2, a new artist recently came on board to help with promo and some in game bits.
And following on from the above...we don't just want to do a straight PC port for each platform. Each version needs love and to feel like it was meant for that specific console. Obv its very resource intensive to do the port work itself and It takes a lot of time to pass through the platform holders QA etc.
Sorry to keep you guys waiting! Make no doubt it will be be worth it.

Hey don't worry. As much as I'd like to play this right now, I'd rather you guys don't rush. This is obviously a labour of love, and I would hate to see you cut down on what you want to achieve with this game. Right on. Amazing.

You sir, is extremely talented. Looking forward for this game.

hey, I'm not the guilty party! Follow @MrAWolf on Twitter. He's the one!

On Thursday, 'Highlands' level in Slain! was shown at the Microsoft campus ID@Xbox Pre PAX event with some great other titles! The doors were open to press 2-4 then to public 5-9. We had a blast watching lots of people getting Slain!

 

[Morrigan Stark]

^ Those are meant to go on a kutte, right?

I kind of imagined true believers pinning them directly to their scar tissued collar bones but that's just me.

I can't wait to see the exposure this game gets upon release.

 

[Daknight]

Dear God, where the hell was I when this kickstarted happen!! This looks awesome and I am so glad is still coming to the Wii U So getting it once is release!

 

[Sanctuary]

Some of the animations in these gifs makes me lament what Capcom could have done had they not completely abandoned CPS3. Wasn't impressed by the resolution in the original OP shots either. Not sure if that is with the original engine, or the one done with Unity, but the gifs in quotes look way better.
