Skald: Against the Black Priory stirs the emotional memories of retro RPGs

Eurogamer's impressions of Skald: Against the Black Priory, an evocative retro-style RPG.

What's appealing is the emotional memory; your mind has worn away the aggravating edges of old experiences over time, like a stone tumbling smooth in the sea. The dialogue has punch and pace, and manages to draw vivid characters and scenes, and though graphically Skald is deliberately limited, it's capable of striking effect. This piece is part of Wishlisted, a week-long series on Eurogamer covering some of our favourite games from February 2024's Steam Next Fest.
