Released in 1995 by Core Design, Skeleton Krew represented the developer's venture into arcade action gaming. The game showcased impressive sprite animation and vibrant graphics pushing AGA capabilities. Four-player simultaneous action delivered engaging cooperative mayhem. Amiga Computing awarded 82% and Amiga Joker gave 81%, praising the visual style and frantic gameplay. However, CU Amiga gave 68%, noting repetitive level design and unbalanced difficulty. The game remains a cult classic for those seeking chaotic four-player action, though it lacks the polish of Core Design's later celebrated titles.
