This game runs amazing on Steam Deck played over 40 hours of it and love it. Strange thing is that it says not verified but I have had an amazing experience playing it on Steam Deck with excellent performance. Also, very good story and fun concept for a side scroller rogue light. Can't recommend enough!
Scarily addictive, each of the skulls' different playstyles make every run feel different. The bosses feel impossible the first time you fight them, but as you learn the patterns they become more like familiar friends. My only gripe is that the difficulty progression can be a bit skewed, where the early game and final boss are significantly more difficult than the middle, but since run rng skews difficulty anyways, this isn't felt too bad. Go little skul go! 8.5/10
Never once before have I ever been able to cry to the story of a game, then start a new run through where i'm shredding through enemies as the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ grim reaper, then another where i'm Davy Jones, then another where i'm the Monkey God. This is so wonderful, only issue is that they don't have many big updates
