Skautfold Usurper | A Lovecraftian Steampunk Metroidvania
54Hello Im Skill Incarnate and Welcome to My Games Review Series.
My reviews cover indie games that i have bought, had gifted to me and have been provided by developers for review.
In this episode check out a new Steampunk Metroidvania called Skautfold Usurper, which was developed and published by one person development team Pugware. Usurper is the latest entry in the Skautfold series, set in an
alternate version of Victorian England, and continues the story of Waltham, a Powerful Necromancer.
After a failed attempt to prevent a gigantic spacecraft called the Citadel from assaulting London, Waltham returns from the dead by possessing the body of Saragat, one of the Royal Knights who has joined the assault. Saragat and Waltham must now combine forces to battle their way to the top of the Citadel and Challenge the Navigator, the Citadels master
This game defied my expectations with a huge range of character builds, weapons and game modes. Its a fantastic choice for Metroidvania enthusiasts, fans of HP Lovecraft or those wanting a solid Challenge

================================================
Usurper is a Metroidvania Action-RPG. With Eldritch horrors having been unleashed by the outer-worldly Citadel, your job is to rid London of its terrors and defeat the Navigator! Use the new """"Guard"""" system that rewards skillful play and accuracy to uncover the massive structure and defeat the nightmares lurking within.
This sequel to Skautfold: Shrouded in Sanity does not require knowledge of the previous game. Recently re-crowned Empress Eleanor has assembled the royal forces and her four most loyal Knights to enter the Citadel in hopes of learning more, and hopefully finding a way to rid London of its terrors. Meanwhile, Waltham, leader of the Weimar, uses his own forces to ascend the Citadel and challenge its leader, the Navigator, for his own… purposes…
