Skeleton Warriors is a Sega Saturn side-scrolling game developed^[3] by Neversoft Entertainment. It is based off a short-lived line of toys/animated series with the same name.

Story

You play as Prince Lightstar on a quest to conquer and slay Baron Dark, who holds the half of the Lightstar Crystal - a crystal that can change people into skeleton slaves.

Gameplay

On the Saturn, Skeleton Warriors is a side-scrolling action game interspersed with third-person hoverbike segments. The game is presented in "2.5D", in that while most of the action takes place in two dimensions (with pre-rendered 2D sprites), levels are built with 3D geometry. Like a traditional arcade beat-'em-up, progression usually requires defeating set amounts of on-screen enemies without being killed.
