Review: Skellboy (Nintendo Switch)

Life was peaceful in the Cubold Kingdom until the king’s evil court magician got dumped by the princess. With his heartbroken and his rage-fueled, he called upon the evil spirits to resurrect the dead and the kingdom’s long-forgotten monstrosities.

• Tutorial pop-ups as you play.
• 3 save slots.
• Semi-open level design.
• Puzzle elements.
• Gimmick-collect enemy body parts and then equip them to take on new powers/abilities.
• Checkpoints a plenty.
• Destructible environmental parts.

Cons:

• Slow pace.
• RNG plays a part.
• Combat is very dry.
• Not a fun world to explore.
• One false move can mean a lot of replaying sections.
