Under the pressure of time, it was definitely hard to keep my head cool and restrain myself from mindlessly charging into the mob. Health management was a huge struggle, too, since some of the enemies had attacks that forced the player to back off and wait a bit to avoid taking damage. Doing what I used to do at a way faster pace was another level of difficulty. However, when I found that the leaderboard of Skul was relatively less competitive compared to some of the more popular titles like Minecraft or Dead Cells, I figured that there was a silver lining.ĭespite silver linings, reality is often disappointing. Initially, speedrunning seemed impossible, as most notorious runners had over 500 hours of playtime, while I had less than 250, which was indeed lower than how I expected it to be. Besides, I thought it would be funny to mark my victory by putting a ridiculous, nonsense Korean name on the world leaderboard, like SangSeok Paik, since that’s what many people do for instance, there’s a name “Sookja” on the leaderboard. Since the start of my quarantine last month, I’ve been constantly playing Skul to try and beat the game as fast as possible, getting myself in the top rankings for global speedruns. So, I eventually decided to fulfill every gamer’s dream: I wanted to have my name on the world leaderboard. Dongjin Kim, Justin Park, Alyssa Chang, Jade Lee, and Grace ChaeĪfter spending nearly 240 hours on the Korean roguelike platformer Skul: The Hero Slayer, I realized that there was no new content for me to explore.
