Saint Slayer: Spear of Sacrilege
The game
Saint Slayer is an NES-style 2D action game, featuring loads of stages, enemies, and gore set against the backdrop of late-17th century Europe. Play as the ex-soldier Rudiger and wield the Spear of Sacrilege as you save the Holy Roman Empire from the corrupt Catholic priest Father Pacer.
The real review
The gameplay and retro pixel art are solid, but the ports are a mess, especially on Switch and Xbox. The core experience of hacking through 17th-century Europe with the Spear of Sacrilege is fun, with speedrun potential, but it's dragged down by a lack of polish and widespread technical problems. It's a decent action game if you play it on PC, but it's not delivering enough value for the price to feel like a complete win.
