Rough gameplay but amazing story and atmosphere again. briliant ending too.

Aug. 2024

"Skautfold Usurper" is an absolutely brilliant game with an amazing story and lovely art. Important: playing it 2024, no problems nor glitches whatsoever. The servants standing by the Save points will tell you where to go next. For older/slower gamers (I'm 69 y.o.) for whom the game may be too tough at parts, please don't miss this gem in fustration ! So, some Cheat Engine hints below, but anyway you can play, enjoy this masterpiece ! Everything is Type Double: Guard (Stamina & shield) and Health, bullets and arrows, lives taken. Vitae left by killed foes and chests plus Yth stones (both counted on screen) will allow you to level up at save thrones. Recommend getting all Stats up to 29, no more for stability, I read in forum. This it the best way to get a lot of Guard (Stamina & shield) and Health and *keep* the new values. For Vitae put a crazy number such as 9,999,999 the necessary times. Yth stones are used less. You also can find the *current max* values for both and increase them beyond, but they will reset if you level up or quit the game to the default value to the level you have. You can find them again each time you play if you want. The guard and health left values addresses change in different areas, you should have to find them again, but obviously were useful to me freezing them for certain tough bosses. Bullets and arrows: counter on screen, you can input 99,999 each for all the game. Etc ! but enough. Have a good time !

"Skautfold: Usurper" is a pixelated metroidvania with slight RPG-elements and the second installment in the lovecraftian series by the (almost?) single dev Steve Gal. It is somewhat in the vein of the classic "Symphony of the Night" (much more so in the quite slow walking speed of the MC, which can be toggled off) and has an interesting Stamina/Health mechanic that - once you get the hang of it - makes encounters and the overall game much more forgiving (apart from some tight boss fights and challenge runs). There can be some problems in launching the game due to the engine (couldn't play it on my laptop, which is a common problem and a shame), the game is overall quite dark (literally) in most areas, the map is quite elusive, which can be a letdown for some, and there are some aspects that feel somewhat unpolished. Nevertheless - the atmosphere is dense, the writing and worldbuilding is very unique and well done, the weapon diversity is quite anime in their presentation, but cool and I really liked the final encounter (played it on No Death Run, where you could not save scum through the phases). The story can be convoluted and cryptic at times (it makes a little more sense when you play through the whole series), but it stands out as a creative and uncompromising title in the overabundance of media toggling the genre and the lore!

I wanted to write my old thoughts down. I might return to this title in due time if it works for me ok. cause last time on my old pc, I had issues with memory usage and freezing. dunno if it's been patched out. but I still recommend this game as it was more just me having issues. and this game is a fun metroidvania title with all the lovecraftian horror you'd want. I recommend cause its a good game. I used to be in the discord for it. but Idk what's up nowadays.. but I hope the dev and his company will make a another in time.

I really enjoyed the first game(Shrouded in sanity),which is more of a souls-like game, so i bought the second game. you dont need to play the first game to know what is the main gist of the story, but certain part will make a lot more sense if you play the first game. Skautfold usurper is a metrovania where you play as saragat, the fourth knight. overall i did enjoy the game but my main problem with it is traveling through the map Especially in the early game. there are no fast travel points(except a few that send you back to the middle of the map in a hub area", you move fairly slow. and the game seems to have you go from one side of the map to the other side and then go back to the other side. but for a game made by a solo dev, it is pretty good and would defeinely reccomond
