Skorecery

About

Skorecery is an arcade-style fighting game where players battle to protect their Runes while disrupting opponents with spells and curses. Up to four can play locally in competitive or co-op modes. The action is fast and chaotic, requiring split-second reflexes as you defend your goal and launch magical attacks. Each match introduces randomized elements like shifting terrain and special abilities that keep every round unpredictable. Set in a world where mages are trapped in a card deck by a dark magician, the game’s story adds a layer of grim whimsy. Players earn freedom by winning matches while losers return to their prison. Community feedback notes the game’s tight controls and high-replay value, with many praising the blend of strategy and chaos. Though it’s been around since 2019, Skorecery remains a punchy option for quick local sessions with friends.

Storyline

The world of Skorecery is that in which a dark magician (known only as The Magician) has pulled magic users from different realms into a carefully crafted prison - a deck of cards. He and his assistant (known only as The Doll) use this deck of cards to entertain wealthy guests who draw cards from the deck and let the magic users compete for their freedom. Winners of the game, Skorecery, are freed while losers return to their playing card prison.
