What Makes Slayin Stand Out
PREPARE FOR THE WORLD’S FIRST ENDLESS ACTION RPG
Slayin will test your skills like no other endless game on the App Store. Don’t get yourself fooled by its charming retro graphics and motivating chiptune soundtrack. In this game, death lurks behind every corner!
Your task sounds all so simple. First choose from one of three heroes: knight, wizard and knave. Then slay as many monsters as possible, while leveling up and getting more powerful equipment and spells along the way. But there’s a catch: once you die, you’re gone for good!
On your journey you will travel through numerous locations and encounter dozens of different monsters and fearsome bosses. Eventually, you will even have to face the giant dragon of legend. But he will not part with his treasure easily. Only the most worthy adventurers will be able to complete this task and become a true hero. Get ready for some slayin!

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Played this game since we were a kid and just downloaded it again yeeaars later and its still a great game to pass time we love it.
Ive been playing this game for years, its honestly one of the best mobile games ever bro.
Very worth it us and our dad have been playing it for years.
We just wish there was a setting to remove the clock and battery icons from our phone while playing.
From the moment what feels like a decade ago, Ive loved Slayins simple yet complex mechanics! The customization and different ways you can play make this very addictive.
1 turn of Game Center 2 in game options turn off game pause on level ups 3 enjoy game with no glitches.
Our favorite iOS game. Lots of memories, sadly doesnt load anymore. Please bring it back :).
A lot of people ask the question who invented the roguelike we actually dont know what that means, but Ive played every significant AAA game in the last 10 years and we still bow to the fun that Slayin invokes so Im going to throw our chips at the devs every chance we get.
Ive been playing this game since back in elementary or middle school at least since it came out, and we love it we wish there was a slayin 2 or something, because this game is honestly so fun and we have compared everything ive played after to it.
Its a really fun game that we do around working hours to make the game go by. It has an old fashion field to it but we like it.
Its so much fun and challenging. We enjoy playing it all the time.
Slayin is a genuinely fun and nigh infinitely replay-able game with simple controls but high potential skill ceiling. If youre looking to fall in love with a classic pixel time killer, give it a shot.
How can the best game in FDG history not receive an update in five years? At least make a sequel. Show us how and Ill go ahead and do it for you because this seems pretty lazy.
This is one of the best mobile games of all time. Im so glad it still works perfectly on iOS 16. We would love if the game was updated so it fully fills the screen on modern phones! We would even pay for a new version.
Good game good concept but the game is very hard.
We played this game when we were either in middle school or high school and so far we still have fun with the game its very fun and addicting to play Im glad this game has had a ton of support over the years as it deserves it.
We honestly got got this game thinking it to be a joke and something Id most certainly delete within a couple of weeks, but we were wrong Ive had this game for about a year in a half now is honestly one of our most favorite games we recommend this game to anyone how likes 2d and simple like arcade games.
You guys should really add a multiplayer option to this so you can go against or fight other enemies from around the world we think that option would make this game a whole lot more interesting but overall we would say that this game is super cool and we love it Thanks.
Still an awesome game almost a decade after its release. We wish the dev would update it or even release a 2nd version which we would gladly buy.
Ive been playing this game for a few years and its great! The best game we have on our phone mainly because of the absence of ads which is nice. Controls are easy to learn but the game can become really difficult. The main bug we keep on getting is when im playing ninja and we buy the golden kunai, after trying to use it, we go completely invisible and it gives us no power up to use. Hopefully they will fix it soon if they are even still updating the game but overall it is great.
Awesome game wish Slayin 2 was on the App Store though.
This is for sure the best one ever it doesnt get old its got perfect mechanics we love it more than god.
Such a fun and simple little game. Keeps you wanting to grind.
10/10 – the gameplay is fun, its not pay to win and the art/music is phenomenal.
If you love difficult but do-able, if you love arcade, if you love simple controls but complicated challange: SLAYIN IS FOR YOU. Im a huge dark souls fan and its literally like our dark souls mobile. Love it. Get it. Worth the grind. Ive had it on 3 phones now. Love restarting the game.
This game is great its challenging but not too hard to were its bad .it keeps you on your toes and is extremely fun.
This is better than FEZ Minecraft fifa or anything. This is WELL WORTH 0.99. We would buy this for 5$ even!!! This game has a huge variety of characters (6) and there are 3 modes as well as the fact it took us a LONG time to get everything in the shop. It took us months and to this day its still fun to try to beat our high score!!! It is endless and almost 100% of the time entertaining. Something else is that there are almost 0 bugs and even when you lose for some reason its not enraging. For some reason it just makes you want to play another round. No matter how long you play its fun and non rage inducing. Its an amazing game and the characters all have there own unique dynamic and skills as well as weapons, you should DEFINITELY download this game.
We just never get bored of the game we wish if the devs add a donation thing in the game cuz this game is amazing.
Gotta say, this is an amazing game. Sure, you can get bored of it a little quickly, but hey isnt that true for most games? Ill often times come back to it, (especially on long drives without WiFi) each time better than before. Trust us, the game is beatable, we can beat the last boss (the dragon) most of the time after a couple practice rounds. Anyways, long story short, we highly recommend this game.
One of the most addicting games in the App Store period. Something is wrong with the thunder shurikens other than that, tight would be an understatement. #5stars.
We discovered this game a few years ago, and since then Ive gotten it on every device we have. Its extremely fun to play; we could play it for hours, honestly haha. Its very neat with its retro game feel, and the music and art are amazing. Its relatively simple – survive as long as you can with your selected character while slaying monsters, buy upgrades for your armor, weapon(s), and magic, and complete quests. Overall, its a great game, and Id definitely recommend it.
This game is awesome but it needs an update so it can take advantage of the entire screen of our iPhone 11. Right now there are black bars on each side of the screen when we play the game and we keep missing the button sometimes when we play the game because the buttons are too close to the center and its a bit odd to play that way.
We love the this game we play when we were little love this game and that fact.
Slayin is one of the best retro games on the App Store despite how easy and simple it is.
You look at this game and think this game can't be addictive or it doesn't seem appealing. Just play 5 mins of it and you'll get hooked like we did! We stopped playing it for a year and just got back into it. Plus it's very easy game. Just gotta have fast reactions overall we give this game 8/10.
Got this game when we were like 8 and first got our phone, makes us sad tbh but good memories.
Always loved this game from the start and Im happy to see its still receiving support. One thing, we work a lot on our iPad for photo and video editing and doing computer work for the agency we work with. Every once in a while we need a break of course so it would be nice to be able to just jump into this game and play the game with our remote or even the Magic Keyboard. Then we wouldnt even need a controller and we can only imagine how easy it would be with a keyboard since there arent that many buttons.
This game is awesome no more words.
Best phone game we played throughout highschool.
Please keep this updated for newer models of iphones such as XR. Doesnt fit the screen ):.
We love this freaking game its so fun!! And this is our first time playing this game and its so much fun.
Its a game we had since we were a 6 year old and it still brings the the same amount of joy as it did then.
We like the game and the .99 price. You dont have to be online to play. Could use some updates.
We think Slayin is a very good game but could need some updates to make it even better. We would like to see maybe multiplayer meaning 2 players could battle together or they could fight each other depending on the character they choose, overall its a very good game and a really good pastime game to play.
We mean it can be fun. Once you get good at it though it becomes hard to find a challenge.
Love this game! Played it a few years ago and couldnt remember the name, finally found it again! So addictive and fun.
Wonderful game to spend some time.
Ive been playing this game on and off for about five years now. Its still the best game Ive played on the App Store. No matter how many times we play it it doesnt get old. Very high replay value. The characters are very fun to play. Its especially fun to unleash your fire, ice, and lightning powers as the wizard. Its very challenging, the graphics are nice to look at; overall, fantastic game.
Downloaded this game whenever it was free and it has been a fun way to pass time ever since. The knave isnt that fun to play as but the different experience each character offers is really fun and engaging. Challenging and fun arcade game overall.
Its an amazing game, bringing back a memory that we have loved: Arcade Games. Its a fun game to play on road trips, because its so dang fun and its a time killer. We know this will get buried in the reviews, and if youre seeing this right now, you should buy it. We have had it for about a week now and we cant stop playing. Also, to any parents trying to see if their kid could play this game, we are an 11 year old ourselves and we think its perfect for any age. It sounds like a violent game, but its really not. You fight monsters, but its an pixelated platformer. You get fame points for playing the game, and those can be used to get better items in the game. Overall, its a fun, kid-friendly, arcade, platformer game. Like we said, its super fun and good for road trips. The main part of the game is fighting monsters, but it is not bloody or gory in any way. We recommend this game to anyone who wants to play a fun mobile game. Have fun with the game.
