Skeleton Crew

Ever wanted to play a platformer where you can literally throw your friends at your problems? That's the chaotic, hilarious, and surprisingly strategic heart of Skeleton Crew. Developed by Cinder Cone and published by Modern Wolf, this isn't your average jump and run adventure. It's a physics based party where the main weapon is a well aimed skeleton.

The core of the fun is the Soul Strike. Think of it less as a magic spell and more as a supernatural cannonball launcher. You charge it up and then fire, sending enemies or your cooperative teammates flying across the screen. This mechanic turns every puzzle and battle into a creative playground. Need to hit a switch on a far wall? Launch a buddy. A big brute blocking the path? Use him as a bowling ball to knock down his friends. The unpredictable physics mean no two solutions are ever exactly the same.

You'll need all that creativity across 24 epic levels, exploring gothic locations like crumbling fortresses and creepy, enchanted woods. The world is overrun by the factions of Chaos, each with a totally different vibe. You'll face off against tricky Fae folk, savage Beastmen, and arrogant Vampires, each with their own minions and tactics. And just when you think you've seen it all, you'll run into screen filling bosses like the monstrous worm god Crom Cruach, where your throwing skills are put to the ultimate test.

The real longevity, though, comes from the crew you build. By joining the Order of the Spirit, you unlock 18 wildly different playable characters. It's not just cosmetic; each one changes how you play. Want to control the battlefield? Pick Amanita the Practical Herbalist and use her plant based powers. Prefer to smash first and ask questions later? Crunch the Pugnacious Priest is your skeleton. This variety makes replaying levels with different characters a fresh experience.

While venturing into the haunted land of Karpathia alone is a blast, Skeleton Crew truly shines as a social experience. You can team up with up to three friends either locally on the couch or online. This is where the friendly fire becomes a feature, not a bug. Coordinating who launches who, and when, leads to moments of brilliant teamwork and utter, laugh out loud disaster. It’s a full version game with no holds barred, offering a complete package of single player challenge and multiplayer mayhem that’s perfect for anyone who likes their platforming with a heavy dose of chaos.
