Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
28 of 88 sampled reviews raised it
Unlike other roguelikes, there is very little grind to Skeletal Avenger, and once you've identified your most formidable character build, you rarely encounter any deaths or setbacks.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
18 of 88 sampled reviews raised it
Skeletal Avenger delivers a fast-paced roguelite experience built around chaotic melee combat, satisfying enemy-clearing abilities, and the wonderfully ridiculous premise of playing as a reanimated skeleton.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
11 of 88 sampled reviews raised it
While what's offered here might not seem particularly groundbreaking at first glance - you're right, top-down roguelite games such as Children of Morta or Hades have definitely done this particular formula better - where Skeletal Avenger really shines is in its co-op mode.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
4 of 88 sampled reviews raised it
It starts off slow, but as your character gets stronger it becomes more and more fun.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
4 of 88 sampled reviews raised it
The Music is really good too, as are the sound effects; it’s a fun game!
