AvClub – Raskulls Review
AvClub – Raskulls is determined not to be boring. The game flirts with monotony, in spite of its zany premise: Your skeletal character chases a pack of rodent pirates across a series of worlds, using a magic wand to clear a way through the Tetris-like stacks of blocks that litter the landscape. Motivated by a healthy fear of complacency, Raskulls places its simple puzzle-platformer concept into countless different guises. Sometimes the emphasis is on cerebral puzzle-solving, while at other times, it’s more of a harried dash in the spirit of Dig Dug or Mr. Driller. The variety staves off staleness and gives the game a potato-chip type of appeal: It’s tough to play just one level.
