Today’s Niche Spotlight is Skeletal Avenger, a top-down action-roguelite dungeon crawler by 10tons Ltd that recently left Early Access.
Become a vengeful skeletal warrior as you fight your way through procedurally generated dungeons. While you’ll find plenty of gear, weapons, and perks on your quest; your strongest asset is your own skull, which can be thrown at enemies.
Your skull-chucking attack will gain different effects and properties based on the headgear you have equipped. Brave the dungeons alone, or bring up to three other revenants along with you in local co-op.
You can find the launch trailer below.
Skeletal Avenger is available on Windows PC (via GOG, and Steam), PlayStation 4, and Xbox One for $16.99 USD.
