Fancy Skulls is a strange first person shooter that I think is much more interesting because of how different it feels from a normal roguelike. I am moving through a series of randomly generated rooms, fighting weird skull creatures and other strange enemies while trying to survive a run without dying. The game takes place around a very abstract museum like setting, and everything from the enemies to the weapons has...

Fancy Skulls, developed and published by tequibo, is a first-person roguelike shooter that embraces minimalism both in its presentation and its design philosophy. It drops players into a sequence of procedurally generated arenas, stripping away narrative context and focusing almost entirely on combat, movement, and survival. From the outset, it feels like a distilled version of the genre—one that prioritizes...

This was one of my first games I got into on steam when I was only free to play a long time ago. This game is a simple little shooter that is fun to play. Not a very hardcore serious shooter game but certainly not a boring shooter game by any means. I find it to be great fun and still play it from time to time over the years. It is free give it a try! 10/10 have played again and again

Apparently Fantasy Sculls is open source and free now, which makes sense, because it plays less like a finished commercial game and more like somebody’s strange weekend experiment that accidentally escaped into the wild. It’s a weird little shooter that technically functions, but I never got a clear sense of what the developer was actually trying to make. The movement, combat, and overall feel are all just kind of...

My ears are still ringing minutes after turning the game off. WHY DOES THE MAJORITY OF ENEMIES CAUSE THIS NOISE

These impressions were written in October: --- Between Paranautical Activity, Tower of Guns, and Fancy Skulls, it seems like the roguelike first person shooter is in vogue right now. While Paranautical Activity and Tower of Guns embrace over-the-top white-knuckle mayhem, Fancy Skulls stands out due to its abstract style and measured, more strategic gameplay. The first aspect that stands out is the game's surreal...

The ever-present danger of Early Access is how there are really no repercussions for a developer who abandons their project. Such is the case with Fancy Skulls, a terribly promising avant-garde first-person roguelike whose updates were strung along for more than a year before ending entirely. Some Early Access titles can still be worth the experience if they're far enough along, and Fancy Skulls comes close, but...

I remember this was a promising game back when i played it in 2015, but it needed more polish, content etc. returning 6 years later and it's dusty and abandoned. What a shame.

Many Roguelite Shooters seem almost like Bullet-Hells and put the player in a situation where they need to dodge a constant barrage of shots while shooting in the general direction of the enemy. You could certainly play Fancy Skulls the same way, but you'll find that the game will reward you for taking your time to line up your shot and hit the enemy in its weak spot. There are many different passive and active...
