Skull Chainz is a single-player game that offers a fast-paced level of bone-crushing combat. Offering the top-down feel of classics, such as Space Fury, alongside a unique system of melee attacks, this platform should be popular with fans of space-based shooters.

As the name suggests, players will control two skulls that are attached by a chain. Swinging this chain is required to attack and destroy nearby enemies. Seven challenging levels must be conquered. The game provides easy user controls, and each level offers its own unique mechanics.

Traditional and yet modern

Skull Chainz has been designed to provide a retro feel, mimicking popular arcade games of the 1980s, such as Galaxia and Asteroids. However, an original soundtrack provides a nice contemporary touch. The arena-like environments offered by Skull Chains are one of the aspects that set this game apart from its contemporaries.

Physics-based gameplay

The skulls themselves are highly responsive to player movements, and these can be used to damage nearby enemies. Each environment is enclosed. So, tactics such as bouncing off of nearby walls are also an excellent way to combat nearby foes.

Unique skills and upgrades

The progressive nature of Skull Chainz allows players to acquire unique and powerful weapons as they advance to more difficult levels. In fact, it is even possible to charge a skull before causing it to explode in an "electrocuted blast." Despite this, the gameplay is still somewhat limited.

Short, fun, and to the point

Skull Chainz can be completed within a relatively short amount of time, making it attractive for fans of casual gaming. Still, the action-packed nature of this platform can be compared to other entertaining top-down bundles, such as Last Space Fighter, and there are plenty of interesting enemies to encounter.
