Fancy Skulls Reviews

one of my favourite roguelikes. i'm very sad that the dev decided to stop updating this game, since it's very deserving of them. I love the style of the game, i love the graphics, the clever enemy design with weak points. i really wish this game would have updates, really, i'd enjoy to see some new guns, new enemies, maybe even new floors and stuff, have more features, more variety... it'd be awesome. i recommend it since the game is cheap, and it can give you quite a bit of fun times.

- English review: I was looking for a room survival game (dungeon, etc...) and i found this game wich was kind of what i was looking for. Its a pretty smooth game, it doesnt need the best pc or laptop to run (I played this on a MacBook Pro 2011 and had no trouble with it) in my case the game lags just a little bit whenever i shoot and kill an enemy that leaves smoke behind when he dies, BUT IT DOESNT MATTER, incredible game for being a beta and im exited to see whats going to be added next... If you like The Binding of Isaac you might like this game (exept this is an fps lol) ------------------------ - Reseña en Español: Estaba buscando un juego de supervivencia de habitaciones (mazmorra, etc.) y encontré este juego que era lo que estaba buscando. Es un juego bastante fluido, no necesita la mejor PC o computadora portátil para funcionar (jugué esto en una MacBook Pro 2011 y no tuve problemas con él) en mi caso, el juego se retrasa un poco cada vez que disparo y mato a un enemigo que deja humo cuando muere, PERO NO IMPORTA, el juego increíble para ser una beta y estoy emocionado de ver qué se agregará a continuación ... Si te gusta la The Binding Isaac, es posible que te guste este juego (excepto que este es un fps lol)

Fun and challenging run-and-gun roguelike. Learning curve is pretty steep, but if you're good at aiming with a mouse then you'll love this game.

A simple game, with crude artwork. and yet it's so addictive, entertaining and a bit of a challenge. perfect for the casual gamer to pass a few hours or for those waiting for loading screens on other games (practically no load time on this game). Thank you for makeing this game, I can see myself playing it for many years to come.

Fancy skulls is a delightful, FPS roguelike in which you start with a revolver and transgress multiple levels, all while fighting different enemies in different "rooms". Each enemy is unique it its appearance and attack styles so you can learn from each and adapt to beat it. Watch out for challenge levels, for if you fail the challenge, you will die instantly without warning. The price tag is a bit high, but for a greenlit game, it's forgivable. Fancy skulls has given me hours of delight and frustration. I hope it brings you said things also.

I love this game. Just so much fun. +great gun play +very unique enemies +super fun mechanics +rewarding floor completion +good difficulty +awesome art style +good variety in weapons and power-ups +lots of replayability -mechanics are not explained and can be extremely confusing -deaths can be unfair at times -randomness can be a little unfair +/- you have to learn all new enemies when you get to a new area

I personally enjoyed this game for a short time, problem is it's extremely easy, very short, and there is no incentive to play. I bought this game way back in early 2015 in the hopes that this would progress into a good game,, but this game was abandoned rather quickly by the devs.

Picked this up during the steam sale, there's an okay base game there but overall I cannot recommend it as it seems development is dead and what remains is simply incomplete. Pros: - Non-abrasive ambient music - Resounding when you get a 'headshot' - Art looks nice Cons: - Developer left this game to die - All enemies look the same as levels progress; it feels like they just get faster - Optional rooms with monsters that one-bang you, but the game doesn't make this clear. - All guns that are not the stock revolver are superfluous and don't really add anything to gameplay - Shops are expensive and anything but damage mods for your revolver are a waste - Game takes ~30m to complete a successful run - Powerups take you from good to hella OP by level 5 or so - Every floor feels the same, skip the instakill room and find the portal - No bosses - No different classes

Very good game. It's a surreal shooter rougelike with a nice theme and good sound design. Ps:Although people have been saying that Fancy Skulls has been abandoned the author has returned and appears to be working on more updates. Edit: nevermind it's dead lol

An abandoned Early Access game! I mean, it works as a simple short rouge-like FPS but doesn't have much of what you can read in "WHAT THE DEVELOPERS HAVE TO SAY: How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?" right here in a Steam store page. Not exactly that much by itself, it feels a bit too empty. Not that hard to beat, not much to grow there. NOT ONLY THAT, but the art style in the latest version is broken. But you can switch to beta branch for earlier version. In the latest version it seems that all the primary textures in level geometry are now blank black. There is still fog and secondary texture layer for colored stripes and such so you won't get lost but it still looks extremely sad. Well, I actually don't know what is going on exactly in behind the scene but yea, ugly. As for game itself, well... I am not sure. I dig the audio-visuals of it. Relaxed strangeness. Sadly, this game mostly just bores me. Well, sure, I don't need much action music or whatever but it feels lacking in depth of setting. I do like more abstract enemies who have weakspots that aren't always headshots, this is fresh. And your primary weapon is revolver, with slower pace rewarding taking your aim while moving. But rooms after rooms of mostly same. Is Rougelike but eh. Secondary weapons also don't fit to the main pace of taking aim. There are even challenge room which kills you if you don't early three crowns in a room which translates to: "if you take too much time, get hit or miss a single shot - INSTADELET YOUR RUN". Amazing. Yea, don't use secondary weapons there. Or, even better, just ignore them. Yea, this game depresses me. Fancy ideas, fancy audiovisual, unexciting, unrewarding.
