Liked Dead Cells? Try a different head in Skul

Carry two skulls, swap between them and build around whatever strange abilities turn up.

Skul: The Hero Slayer lets you change your fighting style by changing your head. Carry two skulls and swap between their attacks and abilities during a fight. Finding a new one can give the rest of the run a different direction.

Our Algebra suggests Hades + Dead Cells. Maybe it’s the pleasure of pulling a build together while dodging through another dangerous room. The skulls make that especially noticeable: different attack speeds, ranges and powers give you a reason to try something other than your usual approach.

Players like the variety, but some find the screen crowded and the early progression repetitive. Be prepared for failed runs while you learn what each skull needs.

Our recommendation

Try it if a strange new moveset is enough to make you start another run.
