    This game is very short. 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.

    We recommend giving Skellboy a try to those audiences who like adventures with a retro graphic style. It is a very entertaining game that is enjoyed a lot on Nintendo Switch.

    What Skellboy has in good ideas it also has in flaws, namely when it comes to technical problems and to an unenthusiastic combat system. This adventure game with beat'em-up elements features a good looking art style and an interesting gameplay mechanic but at the same time, performance issues and other elements make it difficult to enjoy beyond a circle of fans of the genre, which limits the appeal of this work on the Nintendo Switch.

    Skellboy is a lovely looking game with an addictive soundtrack and lighthearted story. However, its main gameplay loop is unremarkable, and there isn’t much to differentiate itself from the competition.
