About Slime Slayer
Slime Slayer is a third-person action roguelite RPG developed by Boosted Bytes and released October 24, 2025 for PC. It tasks you with clearing a slime-infested forest by crafting spells using elemental cores and modifiers. Each playthrough reshapes your character's abilities through rune combinations that alter attack types, statuses, and resource costs. The game blends procedural level design with permadeath, forcing you to adapt strategies against evolving slime threats. It’s a focused experience about build experimentation in a single-player campaign with no multiplayer options.
Gameplay
You spend most sessions in real-time combat, dodging squishy enemies while weaving together spells from three elemental cores. Each core pairs with a modifier rune, like turning fire into a slow effect or ice into a piercing shard. Battles require balancing damage, crowd control, and mana efficiency. Between runs, you allocate skill points to unlock new modifiers and improve core stats. The forest’s layouts reset each playthrough but retain some progress. Controls emphasize quick switching between abilities, with a stamina system limiting how often you can dash or block. Progress hinges on discovering synergies between runes and exploiting slime weaknesses.
What Players Think
PlayPile community ratings are 88% with an 8.2/10 average score. Players finish 67% of the main campaign, averaging 22 hours to complete. Achievement completion sits at 92% for top-tier players. Community moods are split: 42% Frustrated, 38% Satisfied, and 20% Bored. Review snippets highlight the game’s “addictive loop of failure and refinement” but note repetitive enemy design. The most cited pain point is the 15% spike in difficulty at the third act. 63% of players replay at least three times for full rune unlocks.
PlayPile's Take
Slime Slayer offers 20+ hours of build experimentation for $29.99. It’s best for players who enjoy optimizing character kits and accepting steep learning curves. The 42 achievements focus on specific rune combos and boss strategies. While the core loop is rewarding, the lack of varied enemies and side content may test patience. If you value deep progression over exploration, this is your jam. Skip it if you prefer open worlds or combat variety.
