Ska Studios is an independent game development studio founded by James Silva in 2007 after winning a contract to publish The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai to Xbox Live Arcade.[2] Ska Studios has released four Metacritic-aggregated console games since then, more than any similarly sized studio.[3] Ska Studios currently consists of James Silva.[4]
The studio is well known in indie gaming for its art style, which is described as cartoonish, grim, and gory,[5] and its games' tight controls.[6] Many of the studio's games are strongly inspired by modern action titles, such as Devil May Cry, Ninja Gaiden Black, and Dark Souls.[7]
