Change your head for every situation in Skul: The Hero Slayer mobile

Change your head like your shirt for the release of Skul: The Hero Slayer on mobile! All your powers come from your skull, which detaches from your body, so why not have one skull for each situation? This 2D roguelite combining combat and platforming is out today on Android and iOS.

Skul's release makes us lose our heads

In this indie nugget, you play as Skul, a skeleton trying to save the demon king from the human army. As the last warrior still standing, you know that the fate of the demons rests on your shoulder. What doesn't... is your head! The whole idea of Skul is to lose your skeleton skull and swap it for other heads to acquire different powers.

In the midst of superb 2D animation with pixel art galore, you'll have to give it your all to bring more demons to the battlefield. Enjoy a dark atmosphere and a wide variety of content, from Egyptian and Greek mythology to the usual mobile games crossovers, including the excellent Dead Cells from Motion Twin / Evil Empire!

The release of Skul is full of promise: with Playdigious at the helm, we can't wait to dive into this dark universe, which is bound to be a quality mobile game port. We're always recommending their work, so now's the time to add Skul to your catalogue, and maybe even Little Nightmares, Loop Hero, Evoland and Sparklite.

Packed with action and roguelike skill

For the release of Skul, take control of a hundred playable characters. Coordinate items and skills to unleash your explosive power on the piles of flesh just waiting for your sharp blade. The results of your builds with each head add to the sense of action and tension in this edgy title.

Faced with armies of mobs or super-powered bosses, you'll need to show off all your skeleton skills.

I hope the head owners weren't too keen on this, because you're going to get a lot of use out of their skulls! Once you've beaten the game with your first run, launch into 'Dark Mirror' mode for even more of a challenge!

Skul: The Hero Slayer is currently available at 10% off to celebrate the launch of the game. So make the most of it, it's only £6.99.
