An arcade adventure game in which we play the role of a lively skull trying to prevent divine war. In Skully, we travel through picturesque locations and face various problems, assuming one of four protagonist forms with different abilities.
Skully is an arcade adventure game. The game was developed by the independent Canadian studio Finish Line Games and released by Modus Games.
Skully takes us on a journey to a fantastic world, or more precisely to a magical island ruled by siblings of three conflicting gods. In the course of the game, we take on the role of the skull, which was brought back to life by a mysterious deity. The hero must do everything he can to reconcile the gods, and thus prevent a war hanging in the air threatening life on the island.
In Skully, the action was shown from the third person perspective (TPP). The game consists of eighteen levels embedded in seven different biomes, including picturesque surface locations and gloomy underground caves. Each of these places is full of various threats; in addition, to push the action forward, we often have to solve various environmental puzzles.
Skully copes with the problems encountered, taking appropriate forms. As a skull, the hero can only roll and jump, allowing him to overcome terrain obstacles and move quickly from place to place. After turning into one of the three muddy creatures, he gains, among other things, great strength (thanks to which he can destroy rock walls, for example) or the ability to telekinesis (allowing him to move platforms or carry small stones).
The graphic design of Skully is pleasing to the eye. The environment is diverse and detailed, and the various forms of the hero are richly animated. All this is complemented by a catchy soundtrack that creates an atmosphere of great adventure.

Game Ratings for Skully Video Game.
Wccftech: 3.5 / 10 by Nathan Birch
Skully is a masterclass in bad platformer design. Characters that are a chore to handle, sloppy level design, lousy camera controls, irritating puzzles, and a general lack of personality combine to create a profoundly tedious experience. If challenge is literally all you care about (even if it's wildly unfair), Skully might be worth a shot at a steep discount. Everyone else should spare themselves the headache.
ZTGD: 7 / 10 by Ken McKown
Skully is a game that is easily forgettable and hardly recommendable. It is something that if you got free through a Games with Gold you would be encapsulated for all of 30 minutes and then likely never play again. It had promise with its quirky story and unique mechanics, but it never capitalizes on any of them, making it feel like yet another game lost in the ether of releases in 2020.
Checkpoint Gaming: 6 / 10 by Tom Quirk
Skully is certainly imperfect, but there is a strong core for Finish Line Games to build upon. The narrative and characters really had an emotional impact by the end, and the game’s setting is quite beautiful for the most part. While some of its platforming and puzzle-based challenges can annoy at times, overall, Skully is a fun ride if you’re looking for short, yet impactful, experience.
