Saw this was available on Switch, but the even lower price here convinced me to pick it up on Steam. Expected a fun and quick little game, but quickly got frustrated by the controls (WASD to move and mouse-clicks to hit, which is weird outside an FPS) and how quickly I was obliterated on the first stage. I even tried using Xpadder, which routes keyboard and mouse inputs to USB controllers, to see if it worked better that way... but the game ignored it somehow. Maybe I'm just not the target audience for this game, but I was pretty disappointed. If a later update adds controller support, however, I'll give it another try.
I don't know where so much negativity comes from, I liked the game. It weighs quite a bit, the time to kill is fine. The graphics are very good for this size.

Разработчику: Please make at least a small invulnerability to the player and add settings with the exit button. It was possible to add another enemy: a Skeleton Thrower. This could improve your game Скажу так - игра не стоит своих денег Геймплей - 1 акт бегай вокруг комнаты, убивай скелетов, собирай шмот с разным уроном/защитой(и используй бимбу, ахах) 2 акт Подыхай из-за двух скелетов, которые не дают вам сбежать. Серьёзно, вы умираете по этой причине. При ударе скорость вашего персонажа снижается на процентов так 70-80. Если рядом с вами находиться хотяб 2 врага, то с 94% шансом можно ожидать смерть Прокачка - подними хп, ману, размер своей атаки Способность - бибма Трах-бабах....это всё Комнаты однотипные(рандома почти нет) Враги - скелеты с разными доспехами и оружиями(броня никак не повлияет на врагов). Т.е 1 враг на всю игру Меню полный ужас - настроек нет, игра занимает половину экрана(полноэкранного режима на момент покупки не было), есть только кнопка старта и меню прокачки Если вам весело постоянно бегать вокруг комнаты раз за разом, то эта игра для вас. Если вы хотите норм рогалик - не берите

Skull Rogue is a good RPG project. I'm a fan of the classic rogue-like style and loved this game! Upgrade an ordinary skeleton and beat mobs! Extensive and varied locations, different types of enemies and incredible pixel graphics. 9 drunk skeletons out of 10.
did not like it personally it fells slow uninteresting and saying its like a classic rogue like is just a lie
Skull Rogue is a 2D retro pixel top down brawler with procedurally generated levels that's been slapped together with the godawful GameMaker Studio video game construction kit from Yoyogames. Gameplay consists of running around repetitive procgen 2D top down maps and slashing at skeletons. The game is misleadingly described as an RPG, but there's few if any RPG elements to this, which just goes to show RPG has become a meaningless buzz word stapled onto every cash grab on Steam when they think it will stick. GameMaker Studio is a very poor quality game construction kit, and unsurprisingly results in products that have little to no value as games, especially when compared to the work of professional developers who create genuine products for gamers. Using a video game construction kit requires little to no talent or skill as a game developer. Very often, GameMaker Studio is used to make shovelware and lazy cash grabs, which is certainly the case here. Like most GameMaker Studio construction kit "games", this features lazy 2D retro pixel "art", instead of professionally done, contemporary PC graphics. Controls and resolution are locked and can't be changed, which pushes this below acceptable standards for PC. The developer was unable to come up with decent level design or game/story flow/plot, so they opted to try to use samey repetitive procgen algorithms as a substitute for adding content to the game. As a result, the game doesn't actually have any content worth mentioning, just endless, boring, repetitive, soulless algorithmically generated sameyness. Developers must learn that procedural generation is not an acceptable substitute for content. This construction kit effort/template flip costs $1, which is about $21 too much, and should be avoided by everyone.
Et bien, c'est très simple, même trop, gros défaut, le personnage n'a pas d'invulnérabilité. Je ne me sens pas gratifié de continuer et le jeu donne l'impression de tout donner en 5 minutes. Je ne pense pas y mettre plus de temps
I picked up Skull Rogue for less than a dollar, so I wasn't expecting much. That's what's good about this game: it's very cheap, and doesn't pretend to be something it's not. But that's also where the positives end... The game is both extremely simplistic, and excruciatingly boring. There's no pause menu, and no way to remap any keys. And it's extra frustrating considering the controls are wonky at best, and downright frustrating at worst. There's no achievements and no "goal", essentially. The Steam trailer will show you everything the game has to offer. It honestly reminds me a bit of the late 2000's Flash Game era (Kongregate, Neopets, Newgrounds, etc.) The item mechanic is also pretty bad. From what I've gathered, there's no way to see the stats of the equipment to compare it to your current stuff. Then again, there's so few items that memorizing them all wouldn't take too long anyway. On another note: a lot of reviews mention "pumping" (as does the game's description) but I have no idea if that's some inside joke/mechanic I missed, or if those reviews are just spam. (They're all positive too, interestingly enough.) I'd skip this one, unless you want a very simplistic hack'n'slasher.
