About Skulltide


Journey into lands dying and dead to collect black magic grimoires and prolong the Skulltide, so that all skeleton-kind may evade the Grim Reaper forevermore! Grapple with magic that would kill any mortal mage (you die too, you just reanimate). Wield blades renowned through all the lands (taken from the corpses of their former wielders).

Throw your bones, raise the dead, lose your head, and find it again!
  • Local and Online Co-op, or both at once!
  • Mix-and-match abilities tied to your bones. Gain and lose them all!
  • Limbs, skulls, ribs... If you can't find your own, raise some new ones!
  • Collect the spells of those raised, the blades of those killed, and the bodies of those fallen!
  • Endless combinations and possibilities, creating a high skill ceiling!
  • Casual to pick up, but with endless build and run combinations.

Among all the dead who rise to join the Skulltide, there may be heroic queens and formidable warlocks, there might even be a hero fighting alongside the bones of a killer. However, all are equal before the altar of death! Work together to evade the Grim Reaper, before the Skulltide's Entropy and Chaos puts an end to your run! However long you survive, losing will always mean you come back stronger.

You can't keep a dead man down.
  • Customize your skeletal remains with materials and magicks you discover in your journeys.
  • Build classes with sets of abilities taken from enemies, and lose them when you fall.
  • Each death returns to the crypt with more black magic Grimoires in this roguelite!
  • Reanimate your friends to keep the tide alive!

The days of the living have come to an end, the Skulltide has begun! The dead have risen from every grave, to either hasten the end or live immortal through it all! As the final sun sets, it is not simple zombies that come from every graveyard, crypt, and burial mound; it is the souls of those already taken by death who return to their long-lost bones. Many are mad and will turn against you, others will join as necromantic allies, and you may even encounter the last gasps of life, not yet taken by Death.

If life should fail, unlife will prevail.
The Dark Star rises!

What Steam players say

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.

✦ AI summary

Players praise the creative concept of playing as a skeleton and the unique mechanic of throwing body parts as attacks, alongside strong art style and world-building that blends humor with surprisingly profound moments. However, widespread technical issues significantly detract from the experience, with frequent game-breaking bugs in multiplayer and single-player modes including portal glitches, getting stuck in objects, performance drops, and level-loading crashes that force restarts and prevent progression.

this game has got amazing potential but the bugs are holding back rn. I played only with a friend so maybe it has to do with the multiplayer but we both played 3 runs. We only played 3 because that's how many times a game breaking bug occured and made us have to restart the game each time to no avail

Cool concept but the game has bugged out on me for multiple runs and I'm only 2.9 hours into this game. I might give it one more try later but so far: 1) My portal bugged after beating a level and using the portal to go back to the start and upgrade. After, upgrading and trying to leave, my portal to leave bugged and caused me to die of fall damage. 2) One of the levels has a huge number of sarcophagi, and after opening a bunch I got stuck inside of one and could no longer move; Also that level cause FPS drop issues. 3) The starting portal loaded a new level and then didn't let me enter through the portal, preventing me from going to the next level. I've only played about 4 or 5 rounds and over half of them failed because of bugs. I understand it's a rogue-like and you tend to start over a bunch but I can only assume it's going to get worse the more I play. Maybe i'm unlucky or something but I'll wait on playing more for now.

I like the art style and overall concept. There's a bunch of lore and world building and throwing your own body parts to kill enemies is awesome.

i finally get to play as a skeleton which really is all i ever wanted, and this is all about skeletal shenanigans but then there's also weirdly profound moments? but most importantly you can yeet your own cranium as an attack and that's the single most incredible thing i didn't know i wanted but now will miss in every other game i play

It seems really goofy and fun if it would work, but it keeps crashing whenever a level's supposed to load. Now joining multiplayer games also just stopped working altogether. This game seems really buggy, sadly.
Recommended Oct 28, 2024
Great for necromancy fans looking for skeletal gameplay! Not a soulslike, but engaging, still! A must-try for any who love a dark fantasy atmosphere.
