Merge Games, together with Korean publisher, Neowiz, is proud to announce the release of SouthPAW Game’s riveting rogue-lite 2D platformer Skul: The Hero Slayer. Available at retail from today, Skul: The Hero Slayer is available on Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4.

‘Skul: The Hero Slayer’ is an action-platformer that boasts rogue-like features such as ever-changing and challenging maps. It will keep you on your toes, as you will never know what to expect. Skul is no ordinary skeleton. In addition to his formidable fighting skills, he can gain new and exciting abilities depending on which skull he’s wearing. Use up to 2 skulls at a time, each of which has its own unique attack range, speed, and power. Choose combos that match your playing style and switch them in the heat of battle to bring your enemies to their knees. The power is in your hands!
The human race attacking the Demon King’s castle is nothing new and has happened countless times before. What makes this time different though, is that the Adventurers decided to join forces with the Imperial Army and the ‘Hero of Caerleon’ to lead a full onslaught in hopes of wiping out the Demons once and for all. They attacked the Demon stronghold with overwhelming numbers and succeeded in its total destruction. All of the demons in the castle were taken prisoner except for one lone skeleton named ‘Skul’.
The retail versions of Skul: The Hero Slayer include a booklet and digital soundtrack code. The PlayStation 4 version is priced at £24.99, $29.99, €29.99 and the Nintendo Switch version at £29.99, $34.99, €34.99. A Signature Edition collector’s version packed full of extras is available to too – priced at £49.99, $54.99, €54.99 for PlayStation 4 and £54.99, $59.99, €59.99 for Nintendo Switch.
