Skul: The Hero Slayer is a 2D action-platformer roguelite in which the player controls Skul, a little skeleton fighting to rescue his captured king from the Imperial Army. Its signature mechanic lets Skul swap heads, each granting a completely different moveset, playstyle, and abilities. Players carry two skulls at a time and collect items to build varied loadouts across runs. The fast, combo-driven combat and frequent build experimentation are its strengths. A charming story and pixel art frame the action. Switching heads to adapt your playstyle is the central hook.
