What people are saying
Updated nightlySaint Slayer delivers exactly what it promises, a brutally fun NES-style action romp where the pixel art, soundtrack, and core gameplay feel fantastic. It's praised as a gory, nostalgic blast that's well worth the price for fans of the genre. The main friction comes from its tough-as-nails difficulty, which some found punishingly unfair, especially on Nintendo Switch and Xbox where performance seems to have real issues. For most players, though, wielding the Spear of Sacrilege through Father Pacer's hordes is pure, satisfying catharsis.
