VGChartz's Chinh Tran: "Overall Slain: Back from Hell succeeds as a retro Castlevania style game, which is something that is sorely missing from the industry today. The blend of gory graphics and heavy metal music is fantastic and really stands out. The gameplay is satisfying and deceptively deep, providing even veteran players with a hefty challenge, and although the story is forgettable and short, the dialogue is genuinely funny, providing plenty of great lines. Fans who yearn for a strong, classic Castlevania experience will do well to consider Slain: Back from Hell."
Starting today, Rising Hell and Slain: Back from Hell are free at Epic Games Store. The free game offers run until October 13 at 11 AM Eastern. Once you claim them, they're yours to keep.
Indie publisher Big Sugar is delighted to present the Valfaris & Slain: Back From Hell Double Pack, which is available to download now for Nintendo Switch in North America, and arrives tomorrow, 17 April, for Xbox One in all regions. The bundle arrives in the European eShop next Thursday, 23 April. A launch discount will be available for all versions for a limited time.
Plenty of games launch rough-around-the-edges but these games launched fundamentally flawed. Here are 6 games that were saved by updates.
I still remember the snafu that was the BF4 launch disaster. I think that was one of the worst because the game was completely unplayable, I mean you couldn't even connect to the servers for the first week or so.
Yeah man. BF4 was a total disaster! It took about a year for it to fully grow into something great.
Warframe. Game went from being kinda terrible with a great idea to be one of the better games PERIOD on the market. As an action game as a third person shooter. As a free to play and as a Destiny like the game but better.
Warframe definitely was saved from patches. I thought it was pretty bad when it came out, and now it's my favorite game. I can't wait for new updates and I play it every single day.
Lair, a launch title for the PS3. Sony forced the Rogue Squadron developer make the dragons control with the Sixaxis controller. When both the game and Sixaxis controls in general were recognized as disasters within a week of launch, the developer made a huge patch making the game control normally. Completely fixed the game, but too late to change consumer's initial repulsion and the developer went out of business.
glad they fixed it, the first release on pc was really clunky
Nice! I will get this!
I've been playing it on my vita (at the hospital yay...). But anyways I'm really liking it. Takes me back, but with mature themes and heavy metal music. Perfect game for the lifelong gamer who has now grown up and likes a more mature experience.
