I don't see any French/other country people's names apart from Korean/Chinese names (maybe some other Asian names too). I am very disappointed. No wonder why the French Loc is not good.

unlabelledView post →I'm inclined to agree. A lot of games, even the good ones, have been suffering from bloated budgets just to make the game look good. Even though we got some good games from the AAA scene, I still tend to gravitate to indie games like Dead Cells, Hades, and Skul The Hero Slayer.

unlabelledView post →Skul: The Hero Slayer took a bit for me to click with this game, but once i did, it sucked me in rly fast the skull system is ingenious, the OST goes insanely hard and i liked the length of runs i have some minor issues with the difficulty that i might elaborate on overall a solid 8/10!

unlabelledView post →Funny weird fact: the same publisher of Lies of P has another game called "Skul" that's a roguelike with a similar concept to this. You always start as this lil skeleton named Skul, but you can swap skulls to use the skills of the original owner (and even power it up). Your idea has different layers

unlabelledView post →Skul was pretty fun! And hard! They've slowly made it easier as the game has gone on. It took me a good minute when it first came out @.@
unlabelledView post →okay i should probably shut up soon but like, i just kinda wish this game was better, like a 6/10 game isn’t bad obviously but i have the unfortunate privilege of having played Dead Cells and the Risk of Rain series before Skul, meaning i was going in spoiled by high quality roguelikes
unlabelledView post →another cutscene and the game is over, the first hero never knowing that skul is someone important to him, i guess. i think Skul is meant to be the demon girl he met when he was little but like the two don’t seem the same at all and the mechanics of becoming a skeleton are left vague anyways so idfk

unlabelledView post →We've been trying other games since the kid just got a PS5 and has PlayStation Plus, some free stuff in there. Dead Cells, kid is pretty good at it. He wasn't a fan of the permadeath, always going back to the start. It's brutal. We also tried Skul. Same deal. Like a mini Dead Cells, kinda. Now, he's playing Rain World. It's pretty rad. He's good at it, I knew he would be. Again, I couldn't handle the controls of it, etc, when I tried. But wow, Rain World is a beautiful game. #IndieGames #PS5…
