What helps set this one apart though from the throngs of similar games is that Skul: The Hero Slayer is much more linear in its progression than most roguelike games. So what exactly does Skul: The Hero Slayer play like? Well, it’s a bit of mishmash of two genres, the action platformer (a la Hollow Knight) and the roguelike (a la almost every other game on Earth). With all hope seemingly lost, one lone skeleton warrior, the diminutive Skul, sets off on a quest to set the world back to its proper state of affairs and return the kingdom of monsters to its former glory. While you may be thinking, ‘hey fewer demons running around sounds like a good thing’, the humans were only able to achieve this by allying with the mysterious Hero of Caerleon, whose aims could spell ruin for the entire world. The humans and heroes of the world have brutally destroyed the skeleton army and imprisoned the Demon King, leaving his castle and empire in ruins. Skul: The Hero Slayer beings with something clearly amiss.
