I see these mostly positive reviews of SKYHILL and want to be lenient, even defend it. First, 10 years have passed since its release. Second, it was developed by a very small team that created a good game. However, it can easily disappoint unprepared players, especially those who try to get 100% of the achievements. You might think the game is unfair or even impossible to complete, as on hard and hardcore levels you will die more often than you'd like. But this isn't a drawback — it's actually the game's main feature. In the tradition of console games for Dendy, Sega, and the like, SKYHILL compensates for its modest content with its difficulty. Die a lot. Once you reach the first floor and unlock all ten active and ten passive skills, you'll realize that almost all of them are useless for hardcore runs. You have to accept that and start practicing. Find your strategy, study weapon effectiveness, and hope the newly generated map will be better than the last one. Good luck! Rating: 6.5/10

A solid 7 out of 10, this game is just point n survive kind of game. I completed this game in like 5 hrs and all i used was my LMB and not a single key from my keyboard. It was supposed to be a fun and chill speed-run of achievements but what i got was a nightmare kind of difficulty in NORMAL mode,, mind u in normal mode... which i never expected but I didn't back down and completed the game in normal mode only. Also this game has a luck factor.. like u open rooms and u don't find any salvage or you open a room and find a spider bitch who is damn hard to defeat and you can miss your attacks, and managing your supplies and health is very crucial aspects of the game.. One can play this game in easy mode and get all achievements if they are into completionist sort of kink.

🎯 Rating: 7.2/10 📜 Overview SKYHILL is a survival roguelike game developed by Mandragora and released in 2015. Set in a post-apocalyptic world, it follows the story of a man named Perry, who is trapped in a luxurious hotel after a global biological attack. Players must survive on the top floor of the hotel while navigating through different floors filled with mutated enemies and limited resources. The game features strategic resource management, crafting, and turn-based combat. The goal is to descend through the hotel, gather supplies, and escape. 🌟 Pros ✅ Atmosphere – The dark, grim setting of the game adds to its immersive, survival horror feel. The combination of pixel art with post-apocalyptic design creates a compelling visual narrative. ✅ Strategic Depth – Players must manage health, food, and supplies carefully while making tough decisions that can impact their survival. ✅ Unique Combat System – The game features a turn-based combat system that requires careful planning and use of limited resources, making every encounter feel tense and meaningful. ✅ Replayability – Due to its roguelike nature, each playthrough is different, offering a new challenge every time. The random elements and various upgrades increase replay value. ⚠️ Cons ❌ Slow Pacing – Some players may find the pace of the game slow, especially when exploring the hotel and managing resources, which could detract from the overall experience. ❌ Repetitive Gameplay – While the roguelike mechanics keep things fresh, the gameplay loop can feel repetitive, especially with limited combat options and progression. ❌ Limited Story Development – While there is a storyline, it is not as deeply developed as some players might hope, leaving some to feel that the plot doesn't fully engage them. ❌ Steep Difficulty – The difficulty can be overwhelming for new players, with survival relying heavily on luck and strategic planning, which may frustrate those seeking a more casual experience. 💬 Player Sentiment Positive Reviews: Players appreciate the survival elements and the unique atmosphere of SKYHILL, praising the strategic depth and replayability. The game's setting and pixel art style are often highlighted as strengths. Negative Reviews: Common criticisms revolve around the slow pacing, repetitive gameplay, and the steep learning curve, which can turn off players who prefer more action-oriented games. 🎯 Target Audience Fans of survival roguelikes and turn-based strategy games. Players who enjoy post-apocalyptic settings and resource management. Those looking for a challenging and atmospheric game with a dark narrative. 🏆 Rating Breakdown 🎮 Gameplay: 7.5/10 🎨 Graphics & Art Style: 7/10 🔄 Replayability: 8/10 ⚙️ Mechanics & Balance: 7/10 👥 Community & Support: 6.5/10 Overall Experience: 7.2/10 🎯 Final Verdict SKYHILL offers a unique and challenging survival experience set in a post-apocalyptic hotel. With its blend of resource management, strategic combat, and roguelike elements, it delivers a tense and rewarding survival challenge. However, the slow pacing and repetitive gameplay may hinder its appeal for players who prefer faster action or more narrative-driven experiences. It's a solid choice for fans of the genre, but may not be for everyone.

On one hand, my love for this game was almost preordained, as it brought together elements of so many different game and thematic genres that I love--RPG, Roguelike, post-apocalyptic, horror, adventure and even a remarkably admirable dash of Elevator Action. But on the other, though the game is fairly "light" overall in virtually all of these categories, that also means it never overstays its welcome--if "casual" were not an insult, it would be appropriate to call this game casual, because you can play it for five minutes and truly get something enjoyable out of it. This is not something you can say for most post-apocalyptic RPGs, right?
