Overall, Skelattack is a solid game that will put you to the test as much as it will mesmerize you with story and visuals. It might be a bit much for some, but the story makes the journey worth the trouble.
Skelattack is a challenging and sprawling platformer set in the underworld that aims to please both fans of adventure games and platformers.
As with the rest of the game, outside of the more focused platform sequences, I was boosted through by the breezy mood more than anything else. Skelattack is a masterpiece in the art of the pleasant.
Good art direction and funny dialogues are not enough to be an overall good experience, and Skelattack suffers too much from difficulty peakes and inaccurate controls. Worth if you are an action platformer fan, anyway.
This adventure balances its
challenge and gameplay variety well against
its short length. Ultimately
it’s not as layered as indie
darling Hollow Knight but it’s a
worthwhile play while you wait
for Silksong.[Issue#177, p.156]
Skelattack is a game of exceptional mediocrity, a frustrating adventure with an identity crisis and a balance problem. It screams potential that it never even comes close to reaching as it draws obvious inspiration from numerous places, but fails to capture the charm and intention behind those progenitors. Its story and art is its strongest aspects, but the stagnant gameplay drags down what could have otherwise been a pretty good concept. There’s a core of a good idea here, but like it’s lead character, there’s simply no meat on these bones.
Skelattack is a game with good ideas but poor execiution. The mechanics are flawed and originality doesn't exist. However, the art saves the dishes a bit and offers some charisma.
