User Reviews

Players praise Skul: The Hero Slayer for its sharp combat, skull system, and endgame depth on mobile, but stability and performance issues, plus missing mobile DLC and update gaps, heavily color the experience. The core mechanics and overall quality make it a standout mobile roguelike, and many want ongoing updates and parity with PC/console content. However, frequent crashes, occasional progress loss, low FPS, and the lack of controller support temper enthusiasm. If stability improves and updates arrive, the game could fully live up to its strong premises.

Pros

Outstanding combat system with skulls and builds; widely praised as one of the best roguelikes on mobile.
Highly engaging and replayable gameplay that can hook players for hours.
Deep endgame content and progression (e.g., Dark Mirror DM10) showing strong depth.
Positive sentiment toward the mobile port and desire for ongoing updates and support.

Cons

Frequent crashes and stability issues on iOS/mobile, with bosses or stages causing resets and loss of progress.
Missing mobile DLC and lack of content parity with PC/console versions.
Long gaps between updates and perceived lack of ongoing support for the mobile version.
Performance issues on iOS, including low frame rates and calls for higher refresh-rate (120Hz) support.
Controller support is absent or limited; input controls on mobile not ideal and players want analog-stick/controller support.

Love the game and it’s very fun Kirby meets dead cells, but it crashes anytime I’ve been on a floor that had intense combat for more than 5 minutes. I had to kill the chimera over 8 times just to experience the story bit by bit because it kept crashing as I was trying to enjoy the story and then it crashed while I was evaluating boss items which required another 2 victories against the chimera. I finally managed to skip all the dialogue I had already read and enter the next zone but it’s really frustrating to deal with these crashes. I’ve probably had the game crash over 20 times since playing it. Otherwise the opacity on the controls should be able to be adjusted and easier to read and click on item skills without triggering other buttons like your quintessence. I’d be happy to give 5 stars once the bugs are fixed.

That said, I ended up playing it on the Switch instead. Still fun on the phone if you don’t have a Switch. My second favorite game is Dead Cells and third is Hades.
