They are wild, but the big question is which ones in Skul: The Hero Slayer should players invest time into? Each transformation sort of acts like the power-up suits in Mario’s various adventures. There are over thirty skulls in the game and finding them all, or getting the best ones, is going to take a lot of luck.

Along each run, the titular Skul will pick up skulls belonging to other famous warriors.

It stands out amongst its brethren in the genre due to its unique class-based mechanic. By the time Skul reaches him, he doesn't even recognize his own son and in desperation pushes his body to its absolute limit in a three phase boss battle where the final phase is him barely putting up a fight due to his exhaustion and injuries, and at the end of it all he dies, alone, thinking he failed Carleon and its people.At its very core Skul: The Hero Slayer is a roguelike action platformer.

The first, Unknown Seed, starts with no upgrades but every 10 HP healed (which stacks up quite easily as it comes with Spring), permanently increases Physical and Magical damage by 1% and at 300 health healed, transforms to give a permanent 40% Magic and Physical damage buff and summons the World Tree every 60 seconds for a large buff, making it a relatively good item.
