We are excited to announce our partnership with @MrAwolf to bring you the latest chapter in this intense, metal saga.
Stay tuned and don't forget to Wishlist to receive the latest updates! ⚔️🐺🌕https://t.co/L75PcmOWqY pic.twitter.com/qYF7oq0Da7
In Slain 2: The Beast Within, you play as Prince Akran, the last of the Wolf Knights. Armed with a magical sword named Bathoryn, you’ll fight to save a dying kingdom from evil forces led by the demonic Lord Vroll. It is a hack-and-slash adventure, which means you’ll be slicing through enemies with attacks and using special powers like fire and ice.
The story takes you through three big quests, each with its own creepy locations like haunted castles, ghostly seas, and cursed catacombs. You’ll face off against terrifying enemies, from ancient spirits to giant monsters, in a world that feels straight out of a gothic fairy tale. The game’s art style is stunning, with detailed pixel art that brings the dark landscapes and creatures to life.
Slain 2 brings some fresh mechanics to the table. The werewolf transformation is a big addition, giving you a new way to fight as a ferocious beast. The sentient sword Bathoryn also adds depth, letting you use elemental powers to take down enemies in style. The game’s world is bigger and more detailed, with places like the shadowy streets of Wolftown and misty highlands to explore. Every area is filled with traps and challenges, so you’ll need to stay sharp to survive.
Another new feature we have in Slain2. To make your lives easier or your friends life hell.

Is Player 2 mode. Akran can now free spirits to fight alongside him. Allowing a second player or an A.I to join the Mosh.
Couch Co-op though. Player 2 will take all forms depending on… pic.twitter.com/npZfgtwKcK
