About this game

A Way To Slay is a bloody action puzzle game built for players who love tactics, strategy, and turn-based combat. Face knights, samurai, mercenaries, pirates, orcs, assassins, and even the modern mafia across hundreds of levels spanning wildly different eras. Every battle is a tactical puzzle: plan your turn-based moves carefully, or get overwhelmed. Slay your way from realistic medieval battlefields all the way to full-blown fantasy worlds — no wifi required, play the whole game offline.

FEATURES

Epochs & Eras Fight in medieval times against knights, dive into the eastern theme of samurai, hunt down pirates on the high seas, and battle your way into modern-day mafia territory. Every era 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: the choice is yours, and every weapon changes your strategy.

Turn-Based Puzzle Battles Start with one or two enemies, then face down dozens more 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 strategy before you swing.

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

Graphics & Sound Immersive graphics, visual effects, and sound design pull you completely into the gameplay, whether you're fighting knights in a muddy medieval courtyard or samurai in a lantern-lit garden.

Pretty simple, linear, straight forward game that is as it says it is. Kept my interest for a couple of months & good for a quick short game here & there when one doesn't have much time to be throwing at their portable games. Not sure why it took up as much storage space as it did (not that it was a massive amount in general, especially when compared to other games available on the Play Store), so that's one complaint I have. The other is that the game just became too damn simple after a while.

Trying to figure out which order to slice up a bunch of MoFo's and splattering their blood is extremely addicting, relaxing and satisfying all at the same time! Nice graphics and simple controls. Smooth gameplay. Waaaay too many ads! I get that you need ads too make money, but they pop up 3 or 4 times every few minutes! That's ridiculous. That is what's gonna drive people away. Don't get greedy... Other than that it kicks ass!

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!
