Skeleton Crew is an action-adventure indie game developed by Cinder Cone and published by Modern Wolf, released on June 16, 2022. Set in the decaying world of Karpathia, players join the Yeoman Eldritch Extermination Team, the last hope for humanity against chaotic foes. The game supports solo or multiplayer modes for up to four players, offering a chaotic, platform-based brawler experience with fast-paced tactical combat against various enemies, minibosses, and giant bosses.
Players can choose from 12 diverse gothic heroes, each of which can be found, recruited, and upgraded throughout the game. The arsenal includes scrolls, potions, weapons, traps, and more, allowing dynamic gameplay where players can interact with the environment, using items as weapons against their foes. The game features 17 handcrafted, non-linear levels set across three expansive regions, adorned with lush, hand-painted art and engaging visual effects that enhance its atmospheric gothic theme.
