Sker Ritual: An Honest Review! (2024)

[@justinacton8897]

The fact that this game is only $20 blows my mind. Indie developers are really outshining AAA this decade, as this misnomer the more fun shooters I’ve played in a long time

[@Superfudge247]

I couldn't agree more 😁

[@kutthroatgaming1925]

It's a good game, but it's definitely far from a AAA contender. And it shows. I applaud the devs for making this game as good as it is. But it is only a round based zombies game. Not all that hard to make fun a developers stand point.

[@This_guy97]

The game is just so refreshing, I absolutely love it. It’s quite impressive for an indie team of 5

[@Superfudge247]

Considering the size and scale of the launch its been impressive and extremely fun I'm hopeful for the future and all new content coming to the game 😁

[@acdcloon]

This can't be stated enough, the folks who worked on this game did an amazing job, love em 👏

[@Superfudge247]

@@acdcloon totally agreed 👍

[@EchoNines]

Such a great game for it's price, hope it gets supported for a longgggggg time

[@Superfudge247]

I'm holding out hope! 🙏 I hope to see some bigger youtubers giving it the coverage it deserves 👏

[@ghxstleader485]

Revives also should allow you to move more freely as long as you are looking at the person you're reviving like in call of duty. So you can revive and train at the same time. So much fun to do that in the old Black Ops games. There should be a quick revive perk or something too.

[@Superfudge247]

I actually wish I had touched on Quick revive I had totally forgotten about it how did I manage that 🤣 100% agree with this!!

[@WilliamSellers-kn9yx]

My only real gripe is how op and rng dependant 1/2 price is. Tier 5 can take a long time to get yet with a lucky drop you can get it in 1/2 the time. It can make speedruns pretty frustrating Otherwise i cant wait to play the two maps thatll be added. Ive always wondered with the aparent popularity of zombies why nobody else has given the formula a crack similar to how theres a million souls likes out there

[@Superfudge247]

Exactly! I think we both have the same thought process here for sure! I have always wondered the same and as for your point on lucky and the prices of tiered upgrades I totally get you!

[@mysterybrick223]

Sker looks like if sledgehammer made another ww2 zombies sequel

[@mysterybrick223]

In a good way (I like ww2 zombies)

[@Superfudge247]

@@mysterybrick223 haha yeah that didnt sound good at first 🤣

[@SOADwillruletheworld]

What I like about the game, personally, is that it feels like a slightly more accessible version of COD zombies. I like the difficulty choices, and the enemies don't have a built-in magnetism like some of the ones in COD zombies or Killing Floor 2. Getting cornered or ended up in a narrow area isn't a 2-3 death sentence, and a lot of the enemies whiff their attacks.

[@acdcloon]

The only thing bugging me in this game right now is literally a bug that needs fixed asap. The exploration trophies have an annoying bug where if the top of the screen stops displaying the area name, the trophy cant be unlocked. This is the only thing stopping me from platinum other than the sewers on Nightmare. Please fix this creators, pretty please 🙏 rant over, this video touched on a lot of good points and i hope its all addressed in the near future. Great work man, keep it comin 🤙

[@Superfudge247]

I have a friend that had this issued and it can be a buzz kill as one of the most replayable things right now is hunting the achievements alongside things like dread levels and sker passes

[@crystalcreator9227]

The boss fight music sounds crazy! You should join their team man! Love your music choice on that!

[@levimanning2311]

I think it would be cool if each perk had its own skill tree like progression with new and relevant buffs and effects as you unlock more down a certain path and playstyle.

[@whupwhup98]

You can get a free miracle refresh if you just don’t pick one with your token. Wait till you get another one and then both tokens will give you new options

[@Superfudge247]

Yeah 😁

[@CyberQueenForMvS]

I like the difficulty options you can choose from in the game and the difficulties make the experience of the maps different and make you have to play differently and the thing I like best about the difficulties in Sker ritual is that in hard and nightmare difficulty you can see and feel the difference of how the quiet ones, the mini bosses and the boss fights are which makes it great.

[@Superfudge247]

Yes for sure I absolutely love the fact that this game caters to veteran players and that you can feel the difference between each of the difficulty settings thanks for this awesome comment

[@mysticfaint]

Honestly the only thing I don't like is how long it takes for enemies to spawn and how slow they are later on. Makes high rounds a little tedious and boring, but other than that I adore it.

[@ApokalypticShorty]

You get the third crystal to upgrade every 5 rounds from round 25 on each mode on my runs I’ve done so far

[@Superfudge247]

That's cool 😎

[@acdcloon]

I've had a try and I'm pretty sure it's like cold War, and it's 1's and 6's so you have to finish the round first. So I believe you getbthe first tier V crystal when you reach 21. Don't quote me, will have try a few more times 😊

[@wills4615]

I honestly think a more mellow boss fight music would fit better like something from frost punk

[@vinni3c]

Is the full version more polished than the demo? like the transition from walking to running animation in the demo just seems off to me

[@Superfudge247]

I'd say much better

[@matthewking1863]

If you want to refresh your miracles free of charge just wait until you receive another token and you’ll have a new set of miracles the next time you open the option

[@Superfudge247]

True I should have covered that! Good shout!

[@FilippoTarpini]

Not a bad review, but try to give a recap of the game and your general opinion of it before jumping in describing or complaining specific game features like revive tokens.

[@Superfudge247]

Yeah thanks for the review of my review haha xD I appreciate your advice I haven't really done a video like this before and one of the things that had my head bouncing was how to format it

[@ApokalypticShorty]

Sorry should’ve of added this game is amazing content is great great video too man

[@Superfudge247]

Glad you liked it 😁

[@gameman876]

so for anyone who keeps saying that buying cosmetics supports the creators doesnt see the full picture as they're not completely correct. when you buy a cosmetic in an ingame store it goes all to the publisher. Never the creators. Also I like how this game is making it so that when you play the game you just unlock cosmetics. almost like how video were before. My few issues with the game is that it only launched with 4 maps and there really isnt that much variety in weapons a gamemodes especially for that expensive asking price.

[@Superfudge247]

You have a good point didn't really think of it like that damn

[@Haldane1987]

Brilliant game can’t wait for dlc

[@zhmbs]

6:31 this isn’t completely true, if you don’t see a Miracle you like, wait until you earn another Miracle Point and it was reset for you, for free. Every other round you have a chance of getting the one you want

[@Superfudge247]

@@zhmbs well spotted sorry for the oversight during the making of this the game was still very new and we had little to know information on how a lot of the systems worked from the devs. 😁

[@StarpunkPrime]

You have really high expectations for a $20 game. Why should you expect to get hundreds of hours of "player progression" (which essentially does nothing)?

[@Superfudge247]

@@StarpunkPrime i'm on pretty good terms with the devs and much of the community and they havent felt this way about lots of other peoples expectations also judging the quality of what to expect from a game based on price when we have games that have a price of free to play with hundreds of hours of progression is madness there is nothing wrong with wanting a game to continue to succeed and grow!

[@mafikdew78]

Needs more unique weapons it's stale right now

[@Superfudge247]

For sure I'm also hoping we get weapon leveling and camos and attachments and maybe calling cards so we can customize our own experience I think calling cards would be a nice way to create a profile and to show off your skills and stuff but I understand we don't want it to be an exact cod clone but we can't escape the fact that some of these features are what a game needs to prevent that stale effect

I hope that with future maps, they dont include too many steps where you just stand in a circle and do nothing. Sker Hotel and Fortress are just slogs to play because of this.

[@FatheredPuma81]

The game is actually pretty bad tbh. There are so many things wrong with it and the extremely half baked miracle system is certainly number 1 on this list. It's a different person made each of them and none of them even played the game. That combined with the severe lack of content and $25 price tag I'm calling this game a scam tbh.

[@kutthroatgaming1925]

The game is great and very fun. My only complaints really are that the weapons feel like marshmallow shooters, damage doesnt scale very well, and the "PAP" machine doesn't do much, and costs way too much after tier 3. And earning points takes forever. I can understand wanting people to be able to earn tier 4 and 5 upgrades in later levels. But honestly wave 20 and up I dont feel like im earning much points. Increasing points earned should be a thing.

[@Superfudge247]

@@kutthroatgaming1925 a good way would be for them to add more trials rather than just elite markers and the vents make it so you get time challenges for headshots, multikills, certain weapon types, melee challenges and then get rewarded nicely with points and exp 😁

[@jasonjensen6163]

Imagine being able to take curses that wear off into points or even a miracle? That would be cool.
