Altered Beast, Ghosts ‘n Goblins, et al

We are not wanting for loving pixel art in this nostalgia-fueled retro renaissance, butSlain!‘s Gothic horror manages to stand out the same way the sort of off kilterAltered BeastorCastlevaniastill do. Before “pixel art” became a bit of a catch-all aesthetic.

Fight things. Fight bigger things. Do puzzles. Avoid traps. Die repeatedly, horribly, with lots of pixelated blood and viscera. Sounds good.

The team is considering a PS4/Vita version ofSlain!too, if there’s interest (Xbox One already confirmed), so please go yell loudly for that to happen after enjoying some fine, page-breaking gifs.
