App Store Editors’ Notes

Pretty Good

It’s a game where the humans are the bad guys and you play a little “pathetic” skeleton with the ability to gain powers through wearing other skulls of former heroes, legendary figures, and sorcerers, even the prisoner from Deadcells is playable here if you can find his “skull”. I haven’t beaten the game yet but I’ve gotten most of the upgrades and defeated many of the bosses. The game can get kinda hectic at the end though, sometimes you’ll lose track of your character and realize you’ve been standing on traps on the floor and that’s what ended your play through, it can get pretty irritating. Also some enemies will hide in the lower right of your screen where the buttons are, and will be very hard to see unless you use a controller. Either way. It’s a 8/10 game in my opinion, $7 is a pretty easy asking price for the game.

Crash

Skul is a amazing game I could not be more happy with it. My only concern is the crashing. At first the crashing would only happen when you’ve completed a boss and opened the chest. Now, ever since I’ve entered the dark world I’ve recently made it to the final boss the Dark Hero. I cannot even enter the area because of the constant crash. I thought about restarting but I’ve worked so hard just to make it there and it was my first time trying to face the dark hero. Anyway even if I wanted to restart now I can no longer even enter the game without it crashing. Once I tap to start it loads then crashes. Some time of update to fix this is definitely needed and a constant problem with several players. I would not be complaining if I could at least play the game. I would definitely love some suggestions to keep on my journey or any type of fix for the issue.

Better version than console

The glitches I noticed were at the spider lady; when you transform, sometimes Skul will go to the place where she wrap him in web and just shake. I play with a controller so I found to tap the screen get him out of that shake. Another I noticed; I was using the “Biker Skul’ and I added a lot of poison and Crit items to that build. Every time I used his chain as a whip ( special move of the biker Skul) the game froze only for like half a second and caught up. Last it’s not a glitch , when your 9 of 9 on items for your build and have to swap one out I can’t cancel the swap with the controller, I have to touch the screen. This last one is not a glitch to be clear just a rant. Had this game on another system before; liked it enough to purchase it this time.

Very good as always !! Thank you PLAYDIGIOUS!!

One of the best developers in the mobile industry Playdigious I have all your mobile games. Well most y’all never disappoint. I’m not lowering my rating bc the first update addresses the box issue. I’m sure it will get smoother and better each update. Thank y’all for being all these good games from console or computer to mobile I appreciate it. I will tell anyone if you want good mobile games bc I play a lot on mobile. Go to Playdigious and buy anything they help make or port and you will be happy.

Love it!

Great game! I recommend highly if you like rogue like games! I do have one qualm though. If I have to set the phone down for an extended period of time when going afk in the shop or after upgrading with the first station, i lose my skulls and then revert back to regular skul on the continue. I’ve lost some good builds with it that I was excited to resume. No biggie. Only seems to happen after buying something or upgrading. At least for me. Again great game! Im sure things will smooth out!

Trash game. See update

This game is fun, it has all the mechanics you could ask for of a side scrolling hack and slash rogue-like rpg. However, due to it being a mobile game, the UI is often in the way of the gameplay or unresponsive, and occasionally when I try to do an action, I end up pressing another and COMPLETELY botching my run. This game is fantastic, but exists on a poor platform for showcasing all that it is. UPDATE: Forget what I said earlier, the game is COMPLETELY UNPLAYABLE. Regularly closing before and after main story bosses, causing me to lose my collected skulls that I spent so much time grinding up to legendary, AND making me completely redo the fight. Fix your game devs. Because this trash is unacceptable.

Death and Resurrection cycle

Hello, just wanted to say great job on the game everyone from the developers, artists, voice actors, programmers and music crew. One thing i have a concern about. There appears to be no respawn at a certain ‘checkpoint’ and so if i were to die far ahead. i would have to restart my whole journey and that just seems like a hassle but i see what you guys are trying to do. You did the same thing with dead cells and i was fine with that but please incorporate more shops or items that heal the player more often. Thank you.

Add custom button sizes please

I do love this game, I have played this on my pc and have beaten the game and am now on the dark mirror, and I found a mobile version and I excited to play it on mobile and when I started playing it. It wasn’t easy compared to pc, the buttons are too small for me to press and I keep having trouble using the skills for how small they are. I was thinking if you can add an adjustment to the button sizes, hopefully that’s not too much work for you guys
