I think it's great to see more games going back to retro aesthetics but adding modern innovation as well sound modern design. It's pretty much the possible combo of yesteryear and today.
I played a lot of gold box games back in the day and oh man does playing these games scratched the right itch.
Ooooihhhhhhh you had me at "Gold Box". Well said!
I was shocked when I found Splattercat's video on this, it's so up my alley.
yea, i was really immersed in the writing and depressing narrative beats. The lead up through the last chapter is also super epic.
Kudoa noisy pixel! Great game, thanks for covering it!
thank you for hanging out!
Just finished at 99 hours . explored every inch did every quest . It’s one of the greatest games I ever played . The ending left me completely stunned , it’s unforgettable . Masterpiece level CRPG.
Battle music is a banger
So true
Thank you for covering this
This game is beyond great, thanks for covering this.
it's only $15, too!
@@NoisyPixelNews on sale for 13.50!
Skald is also the name of a really good Viking metal band 😎😀
They're decent..
Well, within the genre. Yes they're good.
WOW they nailed the graphics its just like a game from my childhood
since the day i tried the demo during one fest I have been waiting for this to drop!
Not to be that guy, but I like to know how to pronounce things and it’s not a common word, so I mean this with the best intentions:
It’s not pronounced like the phrase “a priori”
A “priory” is basically a sort of monastery, and it’s pronounced with the stress on the first syllable: PRAI-ur-ee
Been playing SALD, it's beautiful !
Enough talked about it that I heard, and bought it.
I’m just gonna play Dread Delusion first (currently on sale in a bundle with Lunacid, an awesome King’s Field-like, btw) and then give it a go
Even with the 8-bit graphics and limitations, this game is most certainly the kinda game Baldur's Gate 3 wishes it was, especially storytelling wise.
Its a magnificant game.
I remember trying the demo, this was the first time a games "retro" aesthetic and limitations got in the way of the actual game. The over-use of dithering, the low-bit color palette, and restricted resolution, made it hard to see what i was even looking at during combat. ITs a shame because it seems the art assets are baked-in at that resolution and dithering, this isn't just some shader applied over the visuals. So its literally unfixable unless they re-do all the game art.
I’m 90 hours in , it’s a GREAT game .
That’s freakin awesome! Have you done any replays or are you on the same file?
@ same file , I am just completing every single quest and discovering every pixel . i believe im in chapter 4 of 5 chapters . A total blast of a game
EVERYONE is talking about SKALD! There must be 2 dozen TH-cam video's on it! Your job is done!
Game is great
I would love for this on mobile
it may be a little tough to see. I actually couldn't get it to work on my ROG Ally due to the mouse being so important.
Just get a cheap windows tablet anything would run this.
The review sounded like 8.5
needs multiplayer coop
I would really like this game if the combat was better, everything else is really cool.
Of course no one is talking about it. Is this video serious or a comedy show? SKALD is a game for gamers who played Ultima. That's it.
Is it possible to turn off screen shake?
Yes and the scan lines
@@NoisyPixelNews I just bought it and there is no toggle to turn off screen shake
Looks cool but I don't have a pc 😅
It's available on Apple computers too.
Game Dev: Babe, it's 4 p.m. Time for another rogue-like.
Me: yes honey.
This ain't a rogue-like
I dont understand why this dude didnt put controller support in his game. Its not like it would be difficult. Thats the only reason I dont have it.
Against the black "Priority" WFT. It's Priory (prai-ur-ee) Not Priority.
Thank you
