    When it comes to visual design, Skellboy is kind of a mixed bag. The art direction is reminiscent of a pixelated Paper Mario and it doesn’t entirely work. While “upresed N64 game” is an inspired visual choice, it’s hard not to wish Umaiki had gone with something a bit cleaner.

    Unfortunately, while Skellboy has its enjoyable moments, there is simply too much going against it to make the game worthwhile. If the game were more focused in its design, either towards exploration or linear gameplay, and if the system of taking the power of opponents were more thoroughly developed, and if the technical issues were non-existent, then Skellboy would be great. As it stands, it’s simply alright, lacking in areas that cannot be tolerated in today’s market with so many high-quality titles available.

You get through 97% of world for 30 or 40 mins, okay may be bit an hour. There are times you just don't know what to do sometimes. boss or mini boss fight lags. Checkpoints are terrible in some area because if you die you've have to walk long away again and defeat annoying enemies like the crows and the green monster with a crude club. Some things don't work right like the king not talking.… Full Review »
