Skara: A New Era of Versus Fighting Games
In the realm of video games, the fighting genre has long been dominated by a handful of heavyweights: Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, Tekken, and the like. These games have set the standard for what a fighting game should be, with their complex combos, deep character rosters, and competitive scenes.
But what if there was a fighting game that broke the mold? A game that took the core elements of the genre and added something new and innovative?
Skara is that game.
Developed by the independent studio Turtle Rock Studios, Skara is the first versus fighting game of its kind. Set in a world broken apart by cataclysm, Skara pits players against each other in a fight for survival.
Choose Your Fighter
The first thing you’ll need to do in Skara is choose your fighter. There are five races to choose from, each with its own unique strengths and weaknesses.
- Humans: The most versatile race, with a good balance of speed, strength, and endurance.
- Orcs: Powerful and resilient, but slow and lumbering.
- Elves: Agile and quick, but fragile and weak.
- Dwarves: Tough and durable, but slow and short-ranged.
- Undead: Fast and deadly, but vulnerable to sunlight.
Once you’ve chosen your race, you’ll need to customize your character’s appearance, equipment, and fighting style. There are a wide variety of options to choose from, so you can create a character that is truly unique.
Enter the Arena
Once you’ve created your character, it’s time to enter the arena. Skara’s arenas are large and open, with plenty of room to move around and fight. There are also a variety of environmental hazards to watch out for, such as fire, water, and spikes.
Skara’s combat system is fast-paced and fluid, with a focus on close-quarters combat. There are a variety of attacks to master, including punches, kicks, throws, and special moves. You can also use the environment to your advantage, such as by throwing rocks or using cover to avoid attacks.
Fight for Survival
Skara is a game about survival. You’ll need to fight your way through hordes of enemies, both AI-controlled and human-controlled. You can also team up with other players to take on even greater challenges.
There are a variety of game modes to choose from, including:
- Deathmatch: A free-for-all where the last player standing wins.
- Team Deathmatch: Two teams of players fight to the death.
- Capture the Flag: Two teams of players try to capture each other’s flag.
- King of the Hill: Players fight to control a central point on the map.
- Survival: Players fight against waves of increasingly difficult enemies.

The ultimate goal in Skara is to become the most powerful fighter in the land. Can you rise to the challenge and dominate Skara?
