Sker Ritual Reviews

The map missions are poorly designed and not fun. Like having to escort a goat through a maze once wasn't enough? Time to do it 3 more times! None of the guns look/feel interesting. Only a few of them are actually usable. Movement is terrible and floaty A solid 5/10 game maybe

Absolute bait and switch. The game is like an extremely low budget version of what you see on the store page. Killing floor 2 is this but a million times better please just go get that instead.

Dope game. Wears its COD Zombies inspiration on its sleeves and does it damn well. It leans a lot more into the "Secret objective" and mystery of the later Zombies installations, rather than just a pure horde shooter but it delivers a good shooting experience nonetheless. The secrets and objectives are pretty fun and the story built up around them is intriguing enough to warrant wanting to search for them. The combat does get a bit stale after around 50 rounds but you'll get some good mileage out of it.

It's a nice and interesting online co-op game that has been heavily influenced by games like CoD Zombies and Killing Floor. It's a wave horde mode game with objectives that tell a story over time. Recommend it for friends to play with each other online

As fun as the game was on the first scenario it was all down hill from there. Choosing the other maps were complete disasters. Cannot progress without glitches glitches and more glitches. Getting stuck in the ground when you die and cant revive or be revived, to codes not working so you cannot progress and so many objectives just dont work. Quitting again and again to try and complete a map is beyond aggravating. To be honest it is more infuriating that it looks like a great game and then provides nothing but anger and disappointment.

So this game started off pretty fun. COD zombies-like, all was good. You'll be having a blast with friends killing zombies and having fun just like the good ol' days, and then, OPE - game breaking bug! Thats right, your weapon will just disappear and you wont be able to interact with a single thing, leaving you completely helpless and ruining your entire game! Don't worry though, at the time of this review in February of 2025, the devs have been "looking into this" since June of 2024! Don't buy this game.

holy shit it's like if CoD actually made their old zombies mode better. i'm having so much fun with this so far

great game, love the maps and the story of them. cant wait for more maps

Proves that the COD zombie formula hasn't gone completely stale. The game is more inspired by the cold war and onward style of zombies and not classic, but it's still good fun

For a spin off of another game that is pretty mechanically unrelated, this is a VERY good game. With Call of Duty Zombies and Killing Floor being super easy comparisons, Sker Ritual holds up rather well. Visually, it's not impressive. The game looks a little dated, but Wales Interactive is FAR from the budgets of bigger AAA studios and this really doesn't look half bad. They did a good job with the art direction and did more than enough to make it look half way decent. The content here is VERY generous. With multiple updates in 2024 and more planned in 2025, there's more than enough here to keep the playerbase happy. Some of the most notable updates are when new maps come out, all for free. They have regular big fixes and QOL patches dropping with lots of community engagement from the team. The DLC has thus far been cosmetic only. That DLC is also priced MUCH more fairly than the AAA wallet harvesting 20$ single skin bundles the industry has been getting so greedy with lately. The game play is exactly as you would hope. Somewhat CoD Zombies, somewhat Killing Floor, a little of their own style added on top. For the most part, you can ignore the story if you want and just go for high rounds. You can do the map's story if you want and have the plot of the game be your focus. If you want classic CoD Zombies eastereggs, they've got that available as a post story option. There was also an update late in 2024 that added camo grinding to the guns, plenty to work towards. As a whole, for the asking price, Sker Ritual is really solid. There's more here than some AAA games offer and that's great. It doesn't look the greatest and there is definitely a little less polish than some more professionally made titles, but Wales Interactive is definitely doing a good job competing against the bigger shooters on the market. A very fun game I would hand an 8.5 out of 10 to in a heartbeat.
