Much like its predecessor Hades, at the end of every level there will be two doors to choose from. The levels are procedurally generated within each biome with bosses at the end of every three stages, plus mid bosses and sanctuary sections to buy new items or heal yourself for gold. I rarely had the same build twice and that’s saying something. Dodging, double jumps, cooldown abilities, and skull swapping all combine to form a wonderful pandemonium of abilities and reflexive combat that feels absolutely fantastic,and trust me the game does throw in dozens of enemies at a single time. ![]() Throw in a dozen or so enemies and we have pure chaos. There are also special usable cooldown items called Quintessences that, once equipped, will add an extra ability like an explosion that will toss you backwards for quick escapes while also damaging enemies. The items on offer will completely change up your tactics. These will add additional perks like giving enemies a slowdown chill effect, or whenever you double jump, an arrow will shoot out at your enemies. What makes these items special is that they also come with inscriptions. One item may give you bonus physical damage or magical damage, for instance. Speaking of synergy, there are items you can buy or receive that adjust your style of play. Using the grim reaper skull for distanced magic is great but sometimes you need to swap to the berserker for hard-hitting melee. This way you can mix and match two separate skull builds and use them interchangeably. Two skulls can be held at a time and swapping is easy but with a slight cooldown. There are even rarer skulls like a genie skull that shoots magic and floats heck there’s even a skull that turns you into the protagonist from Dead Cells (speaking of reflecting your influences). The skulls vary in wide ranges from class shield knight with defensive capabilities to a treant skull that brings Groot-like qualities like powerful ground smashes and root attacks. Skul is special because he has the ability to take off his, well, skull and replace it with the skull of another, giving him new abilities. You play as Skul, a lowly soldier of the Demon King, tasked with rescuing the remaining senators of the council as well as the Demon King himself. The story begins with humans reneging on their promise and slaughtering all non humans they can find. In this world, humans had an ancient pact with the demon king that each would respect the boundaries of the realm. Skul the Hero Slayer flips the script on the typical hero-stopping-evil-demons story with a tale of humans encroaching on the world of the mystical. The developers wear their influences on their sleeves, which is definitely not a bad thing as they are still able to inject their own unique charm into what is a well-worn genre. This covers only early February 2022 offers and we’ll update this once more are announced.Coming by way of Korean developer Neowiz Games, Skul the Hero Slayer promises tight roguelike gameplay, but what we get is a loving homage to games like Dead Cells, Rogue Legacy, and Hades.
