to this review of our debut title, Skulls of the Sh**un: "Fast, compact and yet consistently thoughtful, there's nothing else quite like Skulls of the Sh**un — and, for me, it earns its place amongst the genre's greats."
17-Bit's long-awaited debut is one of the most compact turn-based battlers yet made, and a real triumph of both style and substance.
