Apparently, it is overly difficult so it goes straight to my "not interested" shelf. :-P

What a little masterpiece is this! Love the atmosphere and the heavy metal music which fit together perfectly.

Slain is currently on sale for $5 on BundleStars. Definitely worth picking up imo, I recently wrote a review of it here. It's like Shovel Knight except placed in the Doom setting, with deeper, more-challenging Souls-esque gameplay.
