- Players wanting a linear sequence of levels may find the overview map and selectable missions less suitable.
- Players who prefer clean environments may dislike persistent gore, debris, breakable objects, and trap-based destruction.
Our take on Skautfold: Into the Fray
The bounce point arrives when combat begins demanding constant movement and environmental use. Players expecting a conventional top-down shooter may hit a wall at encounters where kicking enemies, igniting oil, breaking barriers, and triggering traps are part of the fight.
What is Skautfold: Into the Fray?
Fight through an alternate-history 1899 Portland as Hito, a Knight of the Empire investigating a missing royal and the rebel Sons of Washington.
An overview map presents missions across streets, caves, and underground tunnels as the island is consumed by the Fog and eldritch entities. Combat uses firearms ranging from hand-cannons and triple-barrel shotguns to prototype weapons, alongside kicking and dashing. Environments react to attacks: objects can be broken, oil barrels can be ignited, doors can be forced open, and enemies can be kicked into traps. Persistent gore and debris remain during the carnage. The story follows civil strife, occult rituals, and the search for a way to halt the island’s destruction.
