==Multiplayer== |
|
|
Influenced by '']'' and '']'', Skulltag's multiplayer mode includes game modes including and Deathmatch, Cooperative, Instagib, and Last Man Standing. There are also several Teamplay games, such as ], ], Team Deathmatch, Team Last Man Standing, Team Instagib, and so on. In the nameship game mode, Skulltag, Players capture the enemy's Skull and take it to a central score pillar where they get points. It is similar to ] but more fluid, as the player do not need both Skulls to score. |

|
|
==Bots== |
|
|
