Skul is a fast-paced action rogue-lite where losing your head is encouraged.

Featuring 100 playable characters each with their own unique abilities and a ton of items that can create wild synergies, the battles are as electrifying as they are challenging.

The Demon King's Castle in Ruins

The human race attacking the Demon King's castle is nothing new and has happened countless times before. What makes this time different though, is that the Adventurers decided to join forces with the Imperial Army and the 'Hero of Caerleon' to lead a full onslaught in hopes of wiping out the Demons once and for all.

They attacked the Demon stronghold with overwhelming numbers and succeeded in its total destruction. All of the demons in the castle were taken prisoner except for one lone skeleton named 'Skul'.


Dark Mirror Mode

Once you're through with the main story, test your skills and limits in the new challenging 'Dark Mirror' mode!

-Let your hollow eyes feast upon vibrant, cartoony pixel-art 2D animations as you help all sorts of demonic creatures return to their original state.

Ratings and reviews

It's fun, and the touch screen controls aren't bad. Right now, it constantly glitches when trying to load the game and gets stuck on downloading. I've only been able to load into a game I paid $7 bucks for twice. The only thing stopping me from giving it 5 stars is because of the controller support. It says there is. However, I can not use my Razer Kishi and prefer it to touch controls. I am confident they will fix the loading bug.

3.5 but google doesn't allow half stars. The game is virtually identical to the console and PC versions, so it's already a good time. And aside from some stutters when opening menus, the game runs well. My bigger issue though is that this game was built for keyboards and controllers, so mobile controls will always be inferior. If you have already played this, then it's fine. But if you're trying it out for the first time, I recommend getting it on PC, or even Switch if you want it on the go.

Game is pretty good when it runs! However, some issues I've had are fps drops during NPC interactions, crashing when entering a new room or loading into the game, and my achievements aren't sticking. Edit: gotten a little harder to play. On a crash and restart, I'll load into the room I was in and be the base Skul boy with no items or skulls, sometimes even closing the app and reloading it does nothing forcing me to restart the whole run. Constant fps dips on dialogues and more crashing issues.
