There's a lot of games that focus too much on being hard to conquer and forget that sometimes being a middle of the road difficult game is completely fine.and more often more fun.

Ultimately, that's my favorite part of this game. Even if you die at the end of the level, at worst it'll take you 3 minutes to reach that point again. This is due in large part to the amount of check points the game sprawls out between it's 6 cursed realms. Although I've died a lot in my experience so far, I've never felt trapped or upset enough to walk away from it.

Typically, that's something that pisses me off, but Slain does a good job at finding the balance in difficult and "f*** this game I'm done". As you'll see from the gameplay video, whether from monsters or your own impatience and stupidity, you'll die a lot in this game.
