About the story
Welcome to Stillborn Slayer, an intense and challenging bullet hell RPG game set in the godforsaken lands of the Dark Continent, where the Ichor of the Horned God has corrupted and blighted everything in its path, bringing about a never-ending night, shattered earth, and time loops. As a nameless deceased adventurer, you've been resurrected by a necromancer to end the Curse and defeat the Horned God, battling against incomprehensible monsters and possessed physical avatars of mortal sins. Explore dense thickets and desolate fortresses in your quest, upgrading your gear and confronting more than 10 excruciatingly hard boss fights that will test your skills and require you to think on the go. With bullet hell gameplay, you must master dodging and rolling skills and learn to use countless projectile types with different effects and properties to survive. In addition, you'll encounter various levels filled with loot, monsters, secrets, and eccentric companions, providing opportunities for exploration and discovery. The game's complex combat and build system will require you to strategically choose from various characters, weapons, and artifacts to fight different builds. The mechanics of restoring stamina and mana will add an extra layer of challenge, keeping you on your toes during battles. If you're up for the challenge, enter the world of Stillborn Slayer and become the hero who ends the Curse and saves the Dark Continent from the Horned God's reign.

By Celt BrennyFor fans of bullet hell and like a challenge it is a compact, focused experience that prioritises mechanical mastery over pressing buttons as fast as you can to progress. At its budget-friendly price point, it offers an incredible amount of “bang for your buck,” provided you have the patience to learn its patterns and not get flustered. It is a bleak, challenging, and ultimately addictive experience that proves you don’t need a massive budget to create a compelling world. Just be prepared to die…a lot.
