Gameplay

Skeleton Warriors uses 2-dimensional side-scrolling gameplay that combines both beat 'em up and platforming elements, along with occasional hovering motorcycle driving levels. The game uses a mix of pre-rendered sprites with polygonal backgrounds, and fully 3D rendered graphics.[1][2][3]

Reception

Next Generation reviewed the Saturn version of the game, rating it three stars out of five, and stated that "In the end, if you simply can't get enough of side-scrolling action games, then you can count on this being one of the best."[1]

IGN rated the PlayStation version 5/10.[4]
