    Skyhill's set-up is a harrowing reality, while the challenge it offers players is both terrifically fun and nightmarishly difficult. It is a true test of your gaming endurance.

    Unrelenting, old school rogue-like with a beautiful presentation and an alluring B-movie script that keeps you coming back time and again, until you finally manage to escape the cursed skyscraper of Skyhill Hotel. Highly addictive and deeply atmospheric, this one is thoroughly recommended even to non-fans of the genre.

    Survival can still work if kept simple, and here's proof of that. It might be repetitive at times, but it still delivers a very good gameplay experience.

    If you want a punishing but fun experience, you may yet consider booking your suite at Skyhill. If you can push on through all the frustrations, all the randomly generated 'F-You' moments you'll have to endure, and every inevitable death just to get a little further each time, then Skyhill is your game. If you can't, well, then you probably aren't a roguelike fan anyway.

    In Skyhill, you'll feel like The Last Man on Earth, in the role of Vincent Price. You'll have to fight for your life, in this simple and clever roguelike. A fine example of this genre, but the not the best out there.

    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 »
