About This Game

Swing. Slash. Survive.

Skull Survivor is a twin-stick hack 'n' slash survivors-like. One stick moves your companion. The other swings a physics-driven weapon through the horde.

Right Stick to Slash!


Mouse to Slash!

Every soul you take feeds the fight

Let the souls make you bolder: fire, frost, lasers and falling stars answer your call, until nothing dares come near.

The fallen answer his call

Skull was a sorcerer who traded his body for eternal life. Now he binds fallen warriors to his will: knights, samurai, vikings, a ninja, the Imp from Skull's Impossible Quest, even the Demon Lord. Every companion brings a signature skill. Every weapon changes how you fight.

Realms of the horde

Carve through skeletons, zombies and ghouls from the Verdant Valley of Shadows to the Glowing Grove Gambit. Hold out, face the kings of the horde, and the way to the next realm opens.

Every death makes you stronger

Death is only a doorway: you return from the grave with new companions to command and new weapons to wield.

Features

  • A weapon with real weight: every swing is felt
  • Full controller support
  • Steam Achievements
  • Quick runs: there is always time for one more

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

Skull Survivor uses AI content that was generated before release: the character voices (the Skull, the Imp and the realm opening lines), the sound effects (for example pickup and evolution sounds) and the music were generated with ElevenLabs. The translations of the game text and of the store page into 27 languages were produced with AI language models and checked for cultural and sensitivity issues, but not yet by native speakers of every language, so errors may remain; players can report them. No AI content is generated while you play, and the game sends no player data to any AI service.
