Resumen de la comunidad
Texto original · InglésA 2D action roguelite platformer by SouthPAW Games (published by Neowiz) where you play a skeleton who swaps between dozens of skull 'classes', each with its own attacks and skills, to fight the human Imperial Army.
Texto original · InglésSkul is received as a very good, Dead Cells-adjacent action roguelite: Steam shows Very Positive (about 93% positive across roughly 57,700 reviews in the local data; about 92% in the store's English/recent view) and Metacritic has a Metascore of 80 from 22 critics. Praise centers on the skull-swapping combat, build variety, pixel art and surprisingly good story. Criticism is that it is punishing with a steep difficulty curve, heavily RNG-driven, and repetitive once the novelty fades, with clunky keyboard controls and screen clutter. The Metacritic user score is noticeably lower (7.0, Mixed) than Steam, suggesting the harder-edged/grindy side bites some players. It is not abandoned: after 2020 early access and the Jan 2021 full release, it got console ports, a Mythology Pack DLC, mobile versions (2024), and Steam reviews still run 'Very Positive' recently; Wikipedia reports over 2 million copies sold by Dec 2023.
Lo que elogian los jugadores
- Texto original · InglésSkull-swapping is the core hook: you carry two skulls at once and swap mid-combat, and each skull (Grim Reaper, Davy Jones, Monkey King, etc.) plays very differently, so runs feel distinct.
- Texto original · InglésLarge variety of skulls, items and Quintessences that interact with each other, giving real theorycrafting and build depth; some players report hundreds of hours without feeling stale.
- Texto original · InglésPixel art and sprite work are repeatedly called beautiful and detailed, with distinct visual themes per zone and memorable bosses.
- Texto original · InglésStory and tone surprised many reviewers for an action roguelite; several say it is emotional and has twists, with a serious-but-charming tone compared to Dead Cells' wackiness.
- Texto original · InglésBosses start out feeling impossible but become learnable pattern fights that players describe as rewarding.
- Texto original · InglésRuns well on low-end PCs and on Steam Deck, even though it is not officially verified there; Steam reviewers report 40+ hours with excellent performance.
- Texto original · InglésPost-launch content is well regarded: one reviewer says the Mythology Pack DLC added four new skulls plus a very strong legendary skull; the soundtrack is also singled out as fitting the theme.
Lo que critican los jugadores
- Texto original · InglésDifficulty is steep and unforgiving, with no easy mode; many negative reviews cite hitting a wall at bosses or around zone 4 and quitting.
- Texto original · InglésHeavy RNG in items and skulls can make good builds hard to assemble and can doom a run outright.
- Texto original · InglésRepetition: same enemies and layouts across runs, and meta-upgrades feel slow or small after the first hours, which produces 'fun for a few hours then a grind' reviews.
- Texto original · InglésKeyboard controls are widely described as poor (remapping needed); controller is strongly preferred.
- Texto original · InglésScreen clutter and over-animated skills/effects can cover much of the screen and make dodging hard; some call combat feel floaty or lacking weight.
- Texto original · InglésBalance and pacing issues: some bosses take far too long (one reviewer spent 10 minutes in a single fight) and some players call the balancing and screen clutter among the worst they have seen.
- Texto original · InglésSome item and system descriptions are overwhelmingly long or poorly explained, and build-enabling mechanics are not well signposted in-game.
Características distintivas
- Texto original · InglésThe playable character is a skeleton who swaps heads: each skull is effectively a class with its own moveset, and you hold two at once and switch mid-fight.
- Texto original · InglésSkull rarity tiers plus a growing roster from bosses and story (including fan-favorite legendary skulls) create a collect-and-mix loop unlike most 2D roguelites.
- Texto original · InglésQuintessences (active items) and item synergies sit on top of the skull system for a three-layer build structure.
- Texto original · InglésDark Quartz corruption adds a challenge layer for late-game and boss encounters.
- Texto original · InglésA darker, more serious narrative with a villain-adjacent twist on the fantasy trope of heroes versus monsters, which reviewers say is more story-driven than typical roguelites.
Opiniones divididas
- Texto original · InglésDifficulty: fans love the challenge and mastery, while others want an easy mode and feel punished; many players drop off around zone 4.
- Texto original · InglésBuild restrictiveness and RNG: praised as replayable variety by some, called a love-it-or-hate-it restrictive build system by others.
- Texto original · InglésCombat feel: some call it satisfying and simple-yet-deep, others say it is clunky, loose, floaty and lacks impact.
- Texto original · InglésComparison to Dead Cells: some say it is on par or more fun, while others say Dead Cells is clearly better.
Repetición y obstáculos
- Texto original · InglésRestarting from the very beginning after losing to a boss, fighting the same early enemies again, which several reviewers call exhausting.
- Texto original · InglésGrinding for upgrades between runs; one player says multiple runs are needed per upgrade after about nine hours.
- Texto original · InglésLong boss fights with heavy health pools (one reviewer describes a ten-minute fight).
- Texto original · InglésReading dense item and inscription text, and needing fan guides to understand builds.
- Texto original · InglésLevel layouts and enemy sets feeling repetitive across zones and runs.
Mejoras esperadas
- Texto original · InglésAdd an easier or assist difficulty, or a gentler on-ramp, for players who want the content without the punishment.
- Texto original · InglésBetter in-game explanation of systems (Quintessences, inscriptions, item synergies) with shorter, clearer descriptions so players do not need outside guides.
- Texto original · InglésReduce run-killing RNG through more reliable ways to shape builds and more useful low-tier items.
- Texto original · InglésImprove default keyboard layout and controls, and lower screen clutter or add effect-reduction options.
- Texto original · InglésFaster, more meaningful meta-progression so early failed runs feel less like a repetition loop.
- Texto original · InglésMore big content updates; one reviewer says the only issue is the lack of major updates.
Texto original · InglésEarly access launched Feb 2020 and the 1.0 release followed in Jan 2021 on PC, with console versions in Oct 2021 and mobile in 2024 per Wikipedia. Wikipedia reports over 1 million copies by Jan 2022 and over 2 million by Dec 2023; the local SteamSpy-style estimate of 1-2 million Steam owners and a steam-revenue-calculator estimate of about $46.9M gross / about $13.8M net are rough Boxleiter-style figures, not audited. Wikipedia cites IGN comparing it to Dead Cells and Majora's Mask and Polygon liking the combat while noting translation issues. Mythology Pack DLC adds extra skulls; Steam lists it as a Player Favorite. Steam recent reviews remain Very Positive, so there is no review-bomb or abandonment signal, though some players wish for larger updates. Not officially Steam Deck verified, but players say it runs well. OpenCritic score could not be retrieved (web search budget was exhausted and a guessed OpenCritic URL returned the wrong game), so it is left null.

Texto original · InglésTier list Part 1 (2023)
Texto original · InglésSkul: The Hero Slayer is a traditional 2D action roguelike where you play a small skeleton who swaps skulls, each with a distinct playstyle and abilities. He finds it fast, explosive and very satisfying, and he has kept playing since release, including a paid expansion DLC. His main complaints are a repetitive early game with the same starting skull, limited pre-run customization, and reused bosses across worlds. He places it firmly in A tier, above Have a Nice Death and roughly just under FTL.
