By Alex Chen | November 12, 2025

Skul: The Hero Slayer has sold 2 million copies since release, putting the sidescrolling action roguelike in that top tier of multi-million-selling games. Skul's Dead Cells-esque and Hollow Knight-like action never had a huge single spike in popularity, but has steadily grown in sales since its January 2021 release alongside pretty regular large additions and patches.

"We are beyond excited to announce that Skul: The Hero Slayer has surpassed 2 million copies in sales. This is another huge record achieved since we announced that Skul sold 1 million copies last year. We would like to express sincere gratitude to everyone for playing Skul and giving tremendous support up until now," said developer Southpaw Games in an announcement.

This year also saw the release of Skul's first paid DLC, the Mythology Pack, that added a bunch of new skulls and items H25 com สล็อต to collect.

Skul is at its core an action platformer that focuses on its hero, the last skeleton left after all of the other forces of evil have been wiped out. Skul can swap his head around with the heads of other things, their skulls, allowing him to gain new attacks with new speed, range, and power. User reviews often compare it to Dead Cells in some aspects, Hollow Knight in others, and often call it—only somewhat jokingly—"roguelike Maplestory."
