About this game

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!

Ratings and reviews

Besides Dead Cells it's hands down the best port of a PC game on mobile. Excellent controls, very responsive, I've gotten to mirror level 4 so far since launch so it isn't limiting, though controller support was added as well. Hopefully they add the mythology update soon. Can't recommend it enough, did a whole new third playthrough when it came onto mobile. So much variety in skulls, builds and items, always a new run to try out. One of the best roguelites of all time.

Game is super fun! Haven't played it on any other platform other than mobile. 4/5 stars because I feel like the controls are a bit crowded, but I am playing with touch controls. I imagine on keyboard or controller it would play much smoother. Everything else – story, design, gameplay loop – it's all fantastic!

I've had this game since it was on early access on steam, and I'll say right now that it's absolutely incredible; Easily one of the best mobile games around, and the perfect follow up if you liked dead cells. While I recommend a controller, the touch controls are definitely workable! The only negative is that, at least at the time of writing, they haven't included the excellent DLC and don't have plans to... While not necessary, it'd make a 5 star game even better!
