Get instant access and start playing; get involved with this game as it develops.

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Skulltide is many things, a necromantic adventure, a gothic & silly co-op RPG, and an indie roguelike. It is not a souls-like or a massive branching narrative RPG. That being said, every RPG is made better for community involvement and feedback, allowing tweaks to balancing and new content to be released with it in mind.

Skulltide is in Early Access because it is an indie RPG made by a solo developer, and in these final stages of development, feedback will shape the game to be the best it can be!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“It is estimated that Skulltide will be in Early Access for 2-3 months.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The full release of Skulltide will include two further sets of abilities and six new levels to add to the progression loop of the game.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current version of Early Access has three levels which are re-rolled randomly to create this roguelike experience. They are not procedurally generated. A single run can have varying playtime, from 1-3 hours, but unlocking every Relic and upgrade takes 8-10 hours.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“There will be a very small price increase further in development.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Provided there is community interest in Skulltide and its development, I plan to conduct polls and gather bug reports directly from players to better shape the game. Both the Steam Community channel and the Planar Danse discord are open to feedback and suggestions at any time.”

About This Game



Journey into lands dying and dead to collect black magic grimoires and prolong the Skulltide, so that all skeleton-kind may evade the Grim Reaper forevermore! Grapple with magic that would kill any mortal mage (you die too, you just reanimate). Wield blades renowned through all the lands (taken from the corpses of their former wielders).

Throw your bones, raise the dead, lose your head, and find it again!



  • Local and Online Co-op, or both at once!
  • Mix-and-match abilities tied to your bones. Gain and lose them all!
  • Limbs, skulls, ribs... If you can't find your own, raise some new ones!
  • Collect the spells of those raised, the blades of those killed, and the bodies of those fallen!
  • Endless combinations and possibilities, creating a high skill ceiling!
  • Casual to pick up, but with endless build and run combinations.



Among all the dead who rise to join the Skulltide, there may be heroic queens and formidable warlocks, there might even be a hero fighting alongside the bones of a killer. However, all are equal before the altar of death! Work together to evade the Grim Reaper, before the Skulltide's Entropy and Chaos puts an end to your run! However long you survive, losing will always mean you come back stronger.

You can't keep a dead man down.

  • Customize your skeletal remains with materials and magicks you discover in your journeys.
  • Build classes with sets of abilities taken from enemies, and lose them when you fall.
  • Each death returns to the crypt with more black magic Grimoires in this roguelite!
  • Reanimate your friends to keep the tide alive!



The days of the living have come to an end, the Skulltide has begun! The dead have risen from every grave, to either hasten the end or live immortal through it all! As the final sun sets, it is not simple zombies that come from every graveyard, crypt, and burial mound; it is the souls of those already taken by death who return to their long-lost bones. Many are mad and will turn against you, others will join as necromantic allies, and you may even encounter the last gasps of life, not yet taken by Death.

If life should fail, unlife will prevail.
The Dark Star rises!
