Sker Ritual

Sker Ritual is an intense, round-based zombie horror shooter from Wales Interactive, playable solo or with up to four players online. It is an FPS spin-off from the studio's earlier horror game Maid of Sker, continuing from that game's evil ending rather than acting as a direct sequel.

The year is 1914. Elisabeth Williams has seized Sker Island and means to dominate the world by broadcasting the Siren's Song; her daughter Arianwen stands against her, and after being mysteriously awakened, you join Arianwen's effort to stop the broadcast. The action is old-school round-based FPS, with relentless waves of Quiet Ones, optional objectives, hidden Easter Eggs and supercharged Elite enemies whose unique abilities force you to keep changing position and tactics.

Killing enemies can drop Miracles, Celtic God powers that buff or alter your shooting, melee, grenades and healing, with a reserved fifth slot for a chargeable Ultimate. You can collect horror-inspired masks to unnerve the island's inhabitants, taunt teammates with custom voice lines, and buy or gamble on weapons at The Laughing Policeman's booth, climbing the weapon ranks with steampunk upgrades. With fewer players, the horde intensity scales down to match.
