    It’s dull, repetitive, and just doesn’t offer the replayability of other rogue-likes.

    Skyhill is an easy simulator, meant to satisfy the life needs of the main character. You can't expect anything more. It doesn't have an enough depth or length and lacks a sense of competition. It entertains – but just for a while.

    It’s clever enough, I suppose. But is it worth 100 floors of bare-bones rogue-like? Hardly.

    It’s undeniably repetitive. I like the game a lot, and in a large part because of its simplicity. But it’s certainly walking a fine line, possibly limiting how many times someone might want to take another trip down its randomly generated tower knowing they’ve encountered many of its surprises.

    You go through rooms and floors find scraps, food and monsters, upgrade your VIP hotel room and customize your equipment (basically only weapons). And try to stay alive, and don't die of hunger.

    Without basic know how the game is hard, once you understand mechanics it's not that challenging. I managed to finish it on normal on fifth try. The game is extremely short, around 5-6 hours of gameplay combined. I finished it once and uninstalled, it has minimum replay-ability value.

    Graphics, gameplay and atmosphere are adequate for small indie flick, and it was fun while it lasted.    … Full Review »

The difficulty curve is simply boring and based on chance unlike better representatives of the genre, like Spelunky, where you can NEVER blame the game for being unfair. Highly unrecommended.… Full Review »
