Skate Story
About This Game
Skate Story plunges you into a haunting Underworld where you control a fragile glass demon on a quest to skateboard all the way to the Moon. This unique platformer masterfully blends intense skateboarding mechanics with a fantastical setting filled with ash, smoke, and demonic adversaries. The difficulty curve is thoughtfully designed, starting you as a vulnerable novice navigating broken terrain and elusive obstacles, then gradually challenging you with complex sequences demanding precision ollies, kickflips, and grinds. Memorable obstacles like weeping concrete and vicious demons punctuate your path, each requiring not just skill but strategic timing and refined control of your skateboard's weight and motion. As you push through these challenges, the satisfaction of mastery grows immensely—from perfecting ritualistic tricks to executing sweet backside tailslides that feel truly earned. The thrill of progressing from a fragile beginner to a hardened skater underpins every moment, making Skate Story a deeply rewarding blend of exhilarating platforming and immersive storytelling.

You are a demon made of glass and pain. Literally. Looking to escape from Hell, you sign a contract with the Devil to devour the moons illuminating the realm’s many layers. Your steed is a skateboard, a forbidden object you’ll use to kick and push through the Underworld, acting as the Silver Surfer to your own Galactus. Skate Story’s strange premise and surreal art direction are equal parts alluring and head-scratching. While the gameplay is a mixed bag, I enjoyed this fascinating blend of extreme sports and biblical poetry.
