This Roguelike Is So Underrated 

Hey, I really like this video. I hope you don't feel like I'm stepping on your toes here or anything, but I'd love to throw a little advice your way that I wish I knew when I was starting out with this whole youtube thing. I love the way you frame and write your scripts. They've got jokes, they're concise and they're easy to understand. All you gotta work on and play around with is something called "Emphasis", the idea that some words in a sentence are more important than others. Emphasis is helped by long pauses to help drive a point home, or by slowing down certain sentences. It's always helpful to let an audience think on stuff, even whilst your video is still playing. The only other pointer that I wish I knew earlier (and that you might be able to learn from with THIS video) is how important thumbnails and titles are. the 3 BIG TIPS I got when it comes to thumbnails and titles is to FIRST: 1. be VERY specific. - you want a thumbnail and title to be the LEAST (

The game is interesting, and has a wonderful premise, it has a few fundamental flaws: - A lot of the room layouts in the earlier stages aren't well designed - There's no reason not to destroy a skull for bones because you can destroy you old skull too, so it's not really a choice, it's just whether or not you remember to press the button - The inventory is really small, so after the first or second zone there's really nothing to upgrade - Shops late game become completely useless, and by extension so does money - Certain enemies in the game have unreasonable attacks that aren't even close to being reactable *cough cough, the stealth dudes, cough cough*. I get that section is supposed to be stealth, but the enemies aren't even too powerful, it's just that their attacks don't give you enough reaction time, so they just feel annoying Those are the ones off the top of my head, but I know there were more when I played it. With that being said, I still think it's underrated in comparison to other games. The Binding of Isaac for example has way more flaws I could mention, but that game has managed to ascend to a godlike reputation simply for having a crazy high amount of individual items and pieces of content

I didn’t expect it to be good when I got it from monthly games in ps5, but it ended up being one of my favorite rogue-like, got the platinum very quickly

It’s always great to see videos on skul that’s not from my usual creators, great vid in general tho this is one the rogues that I keep coming back to, also in the adventures fight you can cancel their ultimates by attacking them enough

the biggest problem with this game is how weightless it feels. I had hundreds of hours in dead cells before I tried this, and so I can't help but compare the two. In dead cells, the impact of your hits stuns enemies, lifts you into the air, etc. Bosses feel as if they react to you just because their movements are so well choreographed -- the reposition and try different angles (and some of them are truly reactive) In Skul, I feel a lot more like I'm playing a cheap flash game. There's just nothing there to give (the majority) of the attacks any feeling of heft/weight/impact. Had the same impression with Rogue Legacy, too. Like, idk, a roguelike can get a lot right and still feel worse to play and less "fresh" than the original megaman X, just because of minutiae like this.

thanks for the game recommendation brother I will have to get it now :3

an underrated video made by an EXTREMELY UNDERRATED content creator i love the style of your content :) hope to see more videos from you 🔥

Hey I'm glad I took the time to watch your video. I saw you only had 153 subs and thought maybe I'd be annoyed at a sub-par quality video about one of my favorite rouge-likes. You knocked it out of the park. My only advice is to drop the opinion disclaimer at the beginning. People can disagree with things if they want, but unless you're saying something super controversial I really don't think you should waste time with it. Videos should begin with a "hook" to draw the viewer in. But I love your style, just subbed, and hope to see more as you grow and improve. Cheers!

good vid! keep it coming👍

Yea, i actually know another Roguelike i recommend you to try, did you ever hear about Chrono Ark? Its a Deckbuilding, Horror-Roguelike RPG, that recently has left Early Access.

god I love this game and I love you for showcasing it

Great vid :)

Great video, excelent quality, can't wait to see you grow!

Skul is definitely my most-played roguelite. My favorite part is getting to experience all the intricate build customization of a game like Diablo in a bite-size, infinitely replayable loop that delivers quality every time! Not to mention how much attention it's been given by its developers since Early Access onward.

This is one I heard about before but never got around to. Into the backlog it goes! *sobs* Good, quick overview. Well done. Excited to see more from you.

this channel is so underrated

I tried the game and I like Dead Cell better. I bought Skul the day before yesterday and Dead Cell last week. I'll play Skul again for sure. Super Video continues like that! Sry for my english I use Google Translate

I have been playing the shit out of this recently. I am enjoying it.

yea i love this game, thanks for noticing it

Huh, I had no idea some of the team for this game also made Lies of P, no wonder this game looks so good.

finally someone is talking about this

Great vid men hope you get more subs

Maybe that's just my headpones, but the music was almost louder than you speaking Great vid tho

might give this game a try since I really like dead cells :) nice review

This is a great video 👍

great video, would love to see you cover a game called tiny rogues

game is hard ive got like 40 hours into the game but havent beaten it yet. very fun tho you do get runs where you get everything you need to win and other runs where you get the worst items etc. would be great if there was a way to replay and practice the bosses in a hub area since whenever i reach the final boss i keep losing to his phase 2 and 3

I COMEPLETLY AGREE SKUL IS THE BEST GAME EVER

btw random thing but ive gotten into this game called rain world recently super fun i reccoemend it!

I love Skul! Its a wonderful game with an absurd amount of build diversity that you can have!

Asking the internet to be nice to you in the intro WILL eventually backfire.

Asking for respect? Instant respect lost. Good.stuff. Love and blessings!

At least it's gonna get more attention since it's going free on PS plus for April.

arguably my favorite ps plus monthly game now

nah it looks better than it is I own it not that good try souldiers instead 👍

And it is FREE on PS Plus this month,, literally a month after this video released... What a luck 😂

yippee

Ignored it once in playlist, then changed thumbnail? I haven't even watched the video (nor will) but there is nothing spectacular about this roguelike. Go play Blasphemous 1, Super Metroid, Death's Gambit, this game doesn't compare.

"Under rated" it has 43,000 reviews on steam. Anomaly agent has 5000.

Btw skull is coming out on mobile around june
