TPP action adventure skateboarding arcade game. In Skate Story we go to the Otherworld, which we wander as a demon of pain and glass, trying to regain our lost freedom.
Skate Story is an action adventure game, with elements straight from arcade games concentrated on skateboarding. It was developed by Sam Eng, an indie developer, and published by Devolver Digital.
Skate Story takes us on a journey to the original version of the Netherworld. The main character of the game is a demon made of pain and glass. Protagonist receives from the devil a skateboard and a task which is to catch up with the moon and... swallow it. When (if?) he succeeds, he regains his lost freedom.
In Skate Story we observe the action from the third person perspective (TPP). We dash through nine levels of the Netherworld and complete tasks set before us. Along the way we eliminate hostile demons and save other tormented souls.
Moving through the netherworlds is varied by a system of tricks. The list of tricks we can perform includes more than 70 different ones, led by ollies, kickflips and grinds. Learning all of them is not easy, and hard landings end painfully for the protagonist (his body is made of glass, so after hitting the ground it shatters into dozens of pieces). Nevertheless, the game is worth the candle, because once we're familiarized with the meanders of skateboarding, we can start scoring more attempts. In exchange for the latter, we get new equipment, and gain the opportunity to expand our range of tricks.
Graphics in Skate Story was made in low poly technique (its elements, especially the model of the main character, consist of a small number of polygons) and maintained in an original style, which is difficult to compare to anything else; the whole evokes certain associations with the TRON movie series. The game is accompanied by an ambient soundtrack by a New York-based artist known as Blood Cultures and songs by John Fio.

Game Ratings for Skate Story Video Game.
Hey Poor Player: 3.5 / 5 by Andrew Thornton
Despite its share of rough edges, Skate Story still won me over. It leans more on style than substance, but that style is some of the most striking I’ve seen in years, and it carries the experience far. The problem is that the game rarely finds inventive ways to use its own brilliance, leaving it feeling like a journey that peaks too early.
PCGamesN: 9 / 10 by Paul Kelly
Skate Story takes the familiar and flips it, elevating itself beyond a skateboarding game. Its ethereal, thumping soundtrack propels when it wants to, with each new chapter surprising with its visual inventiveness and off-the-wall, abstract ideas. It's like peeling off a bit of wallpaper and finding a whole new world behind it.
VideoGamer: 9 / 10 by Tom Bardwell
Skate Story is an allegorical love letter to skateboarding that expertly captures the essence of skating’s humbling mechanical vocabulary like few other games do. Thoughtful and inventive in unexpected ways, Sam Eng’s boundlessly creative dive into an absurdist underworld is as nourishing as it is refreshing.
