Love This Game

I started playing Slay way back when from of one of those 300+ Windows 95 CDs. I’ve been a fan of Sean O Connor games ever since, I’m glad he has put his games into app form! I’ve been revisiting this blast from the past for a few years now and it’s always fun!

Classic game

I originally played this game on PC, and loved it. True to the original classic with some upgrades! In my opinion it is underrated and highly addictive!

Top Spiel

Großartiges, einfaches Strategiespiel. Das Spiel ist das einzige Spiel das bei mir durchgehend seit Jahren installiert ist. Komme, obwohl ich alle Karten durchgespielt hab, selbst heute noch gerne alle paar Wochen mal darauf zurück und schaue, ob ich einen Rekord auf einer Karte verbessern kann.

Wünschte, es gäbe noch mehr Karten

Truly the most addicting iOS game ever

I’ve been playing this game for longer than I care to admit and I still keep coming back to it. I’ve cleared every map there is (save for a few I’ve deemed impossible) and would do it again in a heartbeat. I wish more people found out about the majesty that is Slay.

FAQ

What is Slay?

Slay is a turn-based strategy game set in medieval times where players aim to conquer enemy territories and expand their own. It involves strategic unit upgrades and careful resource management to avoid bankruptcy.

How do I play Slay?

You begin by capturing land with peasants. As your territories grow richer, you can combine units to create stronger ones like Spearmen, Knights, and Barons. These units can then be used to attack enemies and their castles.

Is Slay free to play?

The application is free to download and play, but it does offer in-app purchases. This allows players to enhance their experience or progress more quickly through optional purchases.

What platforms is Slay available on?

While the description doesn't explicitly state platform availability, it mentions reviews from sites like GameSpy.com, PocketNow.com, PC Magazine, and Download.com, suggesting it is available on mobile platforms (iOS and Android) and potentially PC.

What are the key strategic elements in Slay?

Key strategic elements include capturing and linking territories to create larger ones, upgrading units from peasants to powerful Barons, and carefully managing resources to prevent territories from going bankrupt due to expensive units.
