The smash hit roguelite 2D platformer, Skul: The Hero Slayer, is on sale now during Steam’s Midweek Madness deal. Players only have until March 24, to get 35% off the game on Steam.

For those unfamiliar with Skul: The Hero Slayer, the game is a 2D action-platformer with roguelike features. With ever-changing and challenging maps, players are kept thinking and ready for anything. Skul, the game’s hero, is no regular skeleton. His abilities depend on which skull he is wearing. Using up to 2 skulls at a time, players can choose which combo of skulls they enjoy as they battle enemies. All of Skul’s power is in the player’s hands.
Released this past February, the game’s Reformation update offered improved visuals and a major balancing pass on skull abilities.
