We have been running silent with Skeletal Avenger for about three months. This is because we've been working hard on the game and we've also had some other games to talk about like Tesla Force which just released in Early Access. That said, now we're starting to open the lid on Skeletal Avenger as well!
At its core, Skeletal Avenger is a fast-paced hack'n'slash dungeon crawler. HADES and Dead Cells have influenced the core gameplay and our goals with it a lot. Above you can see some current gameplay. We hope you can maybe imagine the extreme fluidity and responsiveness of the gameplay even though you can't experience it yet ;)
In the video you can see the basic core game actions: hacking, slashing, dodging with dash and then finalizing an enemy with a "Wizard's Hat" exploding as it hits the enemy.
With the core game we're now in a very good place: It feels extremely good and can compete with the top titles like the extremely popular HADES. We're still working on the meta game and hope to have a near final version in the coming weeks. We've only been playing the game internally so far, but in future there'll2 be external testing as well. If you're interested, sign up at skeletalavenger.com for opportunities.
