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.
Saint Slayer nails its retro action feel, with the tight gameplay and loads of gory content keeping most players hooked on its quest through 17th-century Europe. The sharp pixel art and heavy metal soundtrack are standout parts of the package, though the difficulty is a deliberate, brutal throwback. It runs fine on PC (and great on Steam Deck), but the Switch version is the big exception, hitting enough performance problems to be a dealbreaker on that platform.
