About this game

A Way To Slay is a bloody action puzzle game for players who love tactics, strategy and turn-based combat. Face bandits, vikings, samurai, knights, pirates, orcs, mercenaries and even the modern mafia across 10 parts, each in its own era. Every battle is a tactical puzzle: plan your turn-based moves carefully or get overwhelmed. No wifi required — play the whole game offline.

FEATURES

EPOCHS & ERAS
Fight bandits and vikings, step into the eastern world of the samurai, storm castles full of knights, hunt pirates, cut through orcs and make your way into modern mafia territory. Every part brings a new turn-based challenge and a new cast of enemies.

WEAPONS & CHARACTERS
Katana, medieval two-handed swords and even a scythe built for more than just grass — just a taste of the arsenal. Play as a wanderer, samurai, knight or professional assassin: every weapon changes your strategy.

TURN-BASED PUZZLE BATTLES
Start with one or two enemies, then face whole crowds as the action escalates. Every fight is a tactical puzzle, not a button-masher: think turn by turn, read enemy movement and find the winning plan before you swing.

ENEMIES & BOSSES
From ordinary soldiers to powerful bosses, every encounter demands a different tactic. No two battles play the same way.

GRAPHICS & SOUND
Bloody effects, detailed animations and sound pull you into every fight, whether you face knights in a muddy courtyard or samurai in a lantern-lit garden.

WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT
- Turn-based puzzle levels in 10 parts: bandits, vikings, samurai, knights, pirates, orcs, mafia and more

A bloody, tactical, turn-based puzzle game spanning every era of combat. Slay your way through, one turn at a time.

What can I say, other than this is an excellent game! I don't mind the music(I turn the music off in 95% of games), the graphics are very well done! And the gore is awesome!! There is, however, one thing I don't like... when you win a round, the camera slowly orbits your character. Please, please, change this so that I can control the camera, so I can look at the carnage I just created!! Also, maybe a full speed replay of what just happened, too! Thanks for a great game!

nice design and perspective but there is no way of knowing which enemy is fast or slow or what order they will attack you in other than the furthest is probably the next best kill. If the enemy are the same distance away you just have to try all different combos until you get it right which gets super boring after a while. itd be better if you had more free movement and could devise strategies.

Great concept needs expanding. Essentially Hotline Miami with swords and Superhot's time mechanic, it's a lot of fun. The graphics and UI are slick and very well done, the gameplay is simple but I've not caught any bugs and it's very satisfying when you clear a level of all the enemies flawlessly. I'd love a replay mechanic where you could watch your performance in real time. Please include a story in the sequel, more characters with different weapons and moves, boss characters you need to use advanced tactics for. Great work 😊👍
