    I hope he has like a big „I finally did it“ moment just to find out that there’s a hard mode with 10 stages of difficulty

    "We're done, no secret bosses, no secret bosses."
    Oh my sweet summer child. You don't even know half of it given there's an entire hardmode with a secret and incredibly brutal boss in it. So can't wait for the inevitable second video covering all of that hahah.

    I played this when it was in beta, great to see this game get recognition
    Edit: Just finished the video, great light editing, editing down the runs towards the end to keep the pace up nicely is pretty smart, great stuff :)

  • @achrafmaaden6263

    Congrats on beating the tutorial.
    Skul has one of the best hardmodes i've experienced called Dark Mirror that goes from 0 to 10 with DM10 being the hardest & imo the intended experience. I highly recommend you progress through DM because that's where the game shines , from the boss encounters , countless new enemies & new mechanics ( and unlocks ) in the Dark Mirror.
    High DM runs also force you to better learn the core mechanics of the game like inscriptions & swapping among other things , which will make your runs so much more consistent that if you ever come back to say DM0 or the base difficulty showcased in the video , you'll find yourself one shotting every boss let alone regular mobs just from better understanding how different builds & skulls synergize.
    The higher difficulties aim to counteract and grow alongside the player's own experience-based powercreep , keeping the game fresh and challenging & Even More rewarding when you manage to make that god run at say 10DM.
    Skul is the gift that keeps on giving & I highly recommend you explore its hardmode system.

      It's mostly the higher difficulties that give the game its hardness

    "Rogue-like"? IS THAT A GOD DAMN TERRARIA CALAMITY REFERENCE?!

  • @hedmeddig
    @hedmeddig 17 днів тому +2

    It's a Rogue-lite though, as long as there is some sort of progression (unlocking new gear, upgrades etc.) its a rogue-lite. A rogue-like is when there's literally no difference between your first run and any afterwards. Most old games where rogue-likes since there wasn't a save system invented back then.
    Also if you liked this game, please try Dead Cells, it's very similar and amazing! :) (It's quite a lot harder than Skul though just FYI)

    @Moss_Dude 16 днів тому

    If you read the comments for advice, let me tell you one crucial thing: Increase and amplify mean two different things
    If an item "increases" your attack by 30%, that means it flatly adds that to your attacking stat. If your attack stat was 300, it would go to 330
    If it "amplifies" your attack by 30%, that means your stat is *multiplied* by 1.3. If your attack stat was 300, it would go to *400*
    The game doesn't tell you this, but it's the most crucial thing to remember above all! (and the courage and wisdom inscryptions are the best because of it)
