![]() ![]() There are twelve of those but one of them gives you an extra life, making the other eleven irrelevant. The same was true of most of the armour we had and the trinkets in the game. Dozens of weapons presented themselves after but none of them ever compared. As soon as we found a sword that could deflect enemy projectiles, that was us sorted. We didn’t mention the weapon racks though because the looting aspect in this game is pretty weak. Again, everything is tactical in Skeletal Avenger. Healing is hard to come by in the game so going after those pools can be useful but equally those perks are so crucial to progression, it’s hard to ignore them. After a few levels, you’ll get to the last one where you’ll face off against a boss. ![]() A map shows you what benefits each level has: from healing pools, corpses (that you ‘absorb’ for perks) or weapon racks. When you finish a level, you’ll have a choice of exits and these will lead to different levels. The level structure is simple but quite effective. With all that combined, there is plenty of potential for you and your character to get better. The perks are pretty interesting as these generally add attack bonuses such as fire or electrical damage to either you primary, secondary or skull attacks or they’ll give you additional abilities such as making the process of retrieving your skull easier. There’s always something to think about when it comes to the combat and while initially it can be frustrating, eventually you’ll be powered up enough to take on the challenge.Īside from upgrading your stats there are also new weapons to find as well as armour and perks. Each new region introduces new enemies with new abilities such as ghosts who need to phase into a physical form before you attack them or others that generate temporary shields. There’s a bit of variation too as some enemies will come to you while others will attack from range. Combining these elements to keep enemies at bay requires a bit of on-the-go strategy and skill and it’s quite a fun system. You’ve got a primary attack, a secondary ‘special’ attack and the ability to throw your skull at enemies. There’s always a bigger challenge yet to face though and much like 10tons’ other games, you’ll spend a lot of time slowly getting more powerful before you can even consider taking on the later regions of the game. You’ll start getting further before eventually finding those early stages quite easy. You’ll fail and will be pretty much out of your depth but any money earned will be kept and that can be used to upgrade your stats, giving you more attack power, better armour and endurance and other boosts that will slowly make you a better fighter. It sounds easy but skeletons don’t start out as excellent warriors. ![]() Do that across all regions and you’ll face the final boss and get your revenge. To do this you’ll need to hack and slash your way through various dungeons, collecting new weapons, perks and blood crystals until you earn enough of them to gain access to that region’s boss. In Skeletal Avenger you play as a skeleton who is looking to avenge the person that killed them when they were a normal human with skin, muscle and organs. Well, Skeletal Avenger is their latest offering and, indeed, it’s another rogue-lite but instead of being based on twin-stick shooting like those games, it has more in common with their previous hack and slasher Undead Horde. Lovecraft games as two of the best twin-stick shooters on PSN. We really like Neonchrome, we adored Jydge and we rate the two Tesla vs. They’ve been putting out excellent rogue-lites for years now.
