Skul: The Hero Slayer Launches Early 2021 For Switch And Other Consoles

Publisher Neowiz and developer SouthPAW Games have announced the release window for Skul: The Hero Slayer on Switch.

Skul: The Hero Slayer is an action-platformer with rogue-like features, where players take control of a skeleton named Skul in a battle against the forces of humanity. It is scheduled to launch sometime early next year for Switch and other consoles.

Check out a new trailer below, along with additional details via the game’s Steam page:

The Demon King’s Castle in Ruins

The human race attacking the Demon King’s castle is nothing new and has happened countless times before. What makes this time different though, is that the Adventurers decided to join forces with the Imperial Army and the “Hero of Caerleon” to lead a full onslaught in hopes of wiping out the Demons once and for all. They attacked the Demon stronghold with overwhelming numbers and succeeded in its total destruction. All of the demons in the castle were taken prisoner except for one lone skeleton named “Skul.”

Side-Scrolling Platformer Action

Skul: The Hero Slayer is an action platformer that boasts rogue-like features such as everchanging and challenging maps. It will keep you on your toes, as you will never know what to expect.

Tons of Skulls, Tons of Playable Characters

Skul is no ordinary skeleton. In addition to his formidable fighting skills, he can gain new and exciting abilities depending on which skull he’s wearing. Use up to two skulls at a time, each of which has its own unique attack range, speed, and power. Choose combos that match your playing style and switch them in the heat of battle to bring your enemies to their knees. The power is in your hands!

The Adventurers

Skul has crossed paths with a party of Adventurers! They are powerful foes that hunt Demons for sport. While Skul may be small, he still packs quite a punch. So just wait and see who really is the hunter and who is the hunted….

Bosses Corrupted by Dark Quartz

At the end of every chapter, go head-to-head with massive bosses corrupted with Dark Quartz and powerful beyond belief. Derived from the pain and hate of life itself, Dark Quartz taints and takes control of everything it touches.
