Skeleton Crew

About

Skeleton Crew is a chaotic platform brawler where you and up to three friends play as mismatched heroes in a crumbling gothic world. The goal is to smash through levels by kicking enemies, objects, and even chickens at high speeds to clear paths and take down waves of monsters. Each character has basic melee attacks but the real power comes from creative use of the environment. Kick a demon into a group of goblins or launch a witch into a crumbling wall to create new routes. The physics engine lets you chain explosive combos by sending enemies flying into each other or hazards. The game stands out for its over-the-top physics gameplay and co-op flexibility. You can play solo or with others and the unpredictable nature of each battle keeps things fresh. While some levels have linear paths others require precise timing to trigger chain reactions. Players enjoy the absurd weapon selection from brains to haunted artifacts and the darkly comedic tone fits the violent antics well.

Storyline

Welcome to the crumbling world of Karpathia where humans are the endangered species. With legions of monsters trying to decimate what’s left of mankind, only the Yeoman Eldritch Extermination Team (Y.E.E.T!) can protect humanity against the hordes of chaos. Whether you choose to face the journey alone or join forces with your friends, you'll have to weaponise everything to stand a chance; skulls, brains, demons, witches… chickens? Skeleton Crew is a frenzied platform brawler set against the backdrop of a gothic hellscape, where you can use everything and everyone to smash your way to victory. Line up trick shots and give a good hard kick to launch anything (including your enemies and friends) at high speed, wreaking havoc on the environment, causing carnage to your foes and solving puzzles to boot. Of course, if that's not enough you could always use your sword, I suppose.
