Considering that the devs are actively still working on the game post-launch, and seem to be pretty engaged with the community and welcome constructive feedback, there is so much promise. In a bright pixelated world you must accurately time attacks and dodges to. You can buy Skul: The Hero Slayer on Steam. Skul: The Hero Slayer is a good title, the problem with it is that it just misses out on being great. Dead Cells is a running, jumping and fighting game where you are escaping a prison.
#DEAD CELLS VS SKUL THE HERO SLAYER UPGRADE#
Run through smashing enemies, collect loot, upgrade your character, collect Skulls to turn into something entirely different and run through some more. So far Skul: The Hero Slayer has provided a nice gameplay loop, one that's pretty satisfying. They've also simplified the stats system to now only have Physical and Magical attack types, with Physical / Magical / True damage types to make it clearer with any items exactly what you'll be getting and where.

In addition to his formidable fighting skills, he can gain new and exciting abilities depending on which skull hes wearing. When beating each area, you're now given the option of entering one of two different doors that get split between Gold, an Item or a new Skull. Tons of skulls, tons of playable characters. Yep, that looks like a Dead Cells character!Īdditionally, the team at SouthPAW Games have tweaked the game to have a new Reward System. This brings in the Prisoner from Dead Cells, as a Unique level Skull it's going to be quite difficult to find. With the latest update, they mentioned they worked with the Dead Cells team to do a bit of a crossover character. Repetition can set in rather quickly due to tedious bosses, and a single crash can ruin an entire run, but it's. It's currently in Early Access and they've continued expanding all parts of it since the initial release in February. Skul: The Hero Slayer is lovely, action-packed, and full of excellent choices. High quality pixel-art, mixed with fast-paced action and a lot of variety in the enemies you encounter make it stand out against so many others. Skul is firmly unique though, thanks to the Skull swapping feature that sees you take on many different forms.
#DEAD CELLS VS SKUL THE HERO SLAYER UPDATE#
Skul: The Hero Slayer just got a big update with a Dead Cells crossover character ability, not that I needed any excuse to jump back into Skul: The Hero Slayer.Īs far as rogue-lite action platformers go, Skul: The Hero Slayer has so far been pretty great and definitely reminds me of Dead Cells.
