Take on an evil nation of humans as an undead skeletal warrior in the rogue-lite platformer Skul the Hero Slayer! In a complete role reversal, the demons are now the good guys and the humans the aggressors. When adventurers invade the Demon King’s castle, kill the guards, and take the king captive, they make the mistake of leaving behind a lone skeletal warrior who rises from death and goes on a mission of vengeance. 

Skul is not only a skilled fighter. You can activate his powers by changing skulls; each new skull grants different abilities, like the Predator skull which makes you a powerful fighter, or a Bomber skull that can blow up your foes, or a skull general that lets you summon your own soldiers. You can carry and switch between two skulls at any time. Find more powerful skulls or upgrade your current ones to raise their power.

Pick up your weapons and fight your way through five different areas as you pursue your quest. Confront the evil adventurers that have caused your kingdom’s downfall, and defeat powerful bosses corrupted by the Dark Prism. Use your skulls to create powerful combos and bring down terrible foes. Beware: as a rogue-lite game, the bosses in Skul the Hero Slayer will be incredibly difficult, but Skul has one advantage—he’s already dead!
