Skelly Selest

It's been a long while since I last randomed a game from my list. Feels nice to be back, I hope my writing is not rusty.

Skelly Selest is an action-rogue-like where you run around, whack enemies with your axe, shoot them with your pistol, and try not to get hit. The usual stuff. There's some dungeons, some items, some enemies... Some, but not a lot. I saw nothing special in the gameplay possibilities this game offered. Same stuff as most of these dungeon-crawly-shooty-slashy games, except both less variety and content than what I feel would be a good standard. So nothing interesting, nothing good here.

The art style was nice in an aesthetic sense, but sadly a hindrance. I found it difficult to look at, difficult to read the writing, and difficult to track enemies and projectiles. Functionality should always come first. And speaking of writing, using "thee" and "thy" at literally every possible opportunity is not pleasant to read either.

Skelly Selest has oddly high ratings (although not too many of them), but I see no reason for this. It has nothing unique, and just a subset of features of some better games of the same genre. I wouldn't recommend playing it - there's nothing to be seen here.
