Sker Ritual round-based zombies game poses serious threat to Call of Duty team ahead of Black Ops Gulf War zombies reveal
Sker Ritual, a round-based survival zombies game from Wales Interactive, is made by a small team of five indie developers. Here’s the game’s description on its official website:
An intense, round-based, zombie horror shooter by indie developers at Wales Interactive. Play solo or up-to 4-players online, facing relentless waves of Quiet Ones whilst solving mysterious missions, uncovering Easter Eggs, upgrading steampunk weapons and obtaining Miracles — a vast network of Celtic God powers.
Sker Ritual was launched for PlayStation and PC on April 18, 2024. Intriguingly, it gained a peak of 2,036 concurrent players on its first day on Steam.
Call of Duty players would be shocked to know that most of the features in Sker Ritual are reminiscent of zombies modes seen in old CoD installments from Treyarch. Here are the main highlights for fans who are interested in buying and trying Sker Ritual:
- Old-school round-based first-person-shooter action.
- Co-op support for upto four players online.
- Optional objectives and hidden easter eggs.
- Supercharged “Elites” with unique abilities.
- Collect and enhance “Miracle” powers.
- Explore free reward systems “Dread Levels” and “Sker Pass.”
Another interesting thing to note is that Sker Ritual is a story continuation of the highly popular Maid of Sker’s “evil“ ending.
The sheer presence of elements like easter eggs, elite zombies, co-op, pack-a-punch–like options, and most importantly a round-based format is enough to compel any CoD fan. As of this writing, the game has already received around 84 percent of positive reviews on Steam in 24 hours.
With the CoD 2024 Black Ops Gulf War reveal still around a month away, it will be difficult for most players to resist trying Sker Ritual. Not to mention that its amazing gameplay may pose a serious threat to Treyarch’s upcoming zombies installment. It will be interesting to see how far Sker Ritual will go with its compelling FPS experience.
