New screenshots show off Slain's beautiful pixel art on Vita
Portable pixels
Slain is a Gothic hack-n-slash reminiscent of games like Shadow of The Beast and Ghosts 'n Goblins, and five new images showcase the game running on PS Vita
Playing as sword-wielding hero Bathoryn, you must liberate seven towers from their fiendish overlords. A grotesque array of monsters and undead warriors stand between you and your quest.
Fight or dieYou'll face your enemies in mist-choked moors and flame-lit castles, decapitating and disembowling foes with magical weapons like your great sword or flaming axe.
Within the towers, you'll need to solve challenging puzzles and evade dangerous traps. Fail and Bathoryn likely faces a grisly end, as your hero is crushed, devoured, burnt to ash, among other brutal deaths.
Slain will be launching on Steam in December; the PS Vita version is expected to release around March 2016.
