About us

Skill Check Games is a two-person indie studio making fast, competitive multiplayer games that run right in your browser. No downloads, no pay-to-win, no luck-based nonsense. Just games that put your skill to the test.

Our story

It started back in 2011 with a university project: a browser remake of the DOS classic Achtung, die Kurve! that friends kept playing long after the course ended. Fifteen years later that project grew into Achtung Royale, and we haven't stopped building since.

What we believe

• Skill wins. Every mechanic we ship rewards practice, not spending.
• The browser is a real platform. Click a link, be in a match seconds later.
• Pay-to-play maybe. Pay-to-win never. Ads or a price tag might keep the lights on. Money will not buy wins.

Free-to-Play + Fair Premium

Every game we make is free to play. Some games also come with a Fair Premium. Here is what that means.

• Free to play. The whole game, free, no catch. Achtung Royale and MS Battle are this.
• Fair Premium. A one-time purchase that might give you some advantage. Everyone pays the same price for the same advantage. No second tier, no bundles, no way to pay more. If two players both paid, they are equal. If one didn't, they are one purchase behind, and that is the end of it.

We firmly stand against the idea that more money should mean more wins. A game is not skill-based if you can beat your opponent with a credit card. Fair Premium is our way of saying we would like to eat, but we want you to afford food too.
