    While some might be a little dismayed by the somewhat sexist approach to female characters and the clothes they wear, this is mostly a fighting game that rarely misses a beat. Finally, fighting game fans have the ideal game to take on their daily commute.

    Even though I was not too familiar with Skullgirls before this week, I think I’m now a fan. The artwork is downright amazing, and I love the voice acting for these lively characters. The music is also catchy and pleasant, and I’m not that big of a jazz fan to begin with. While I still prefer physical buttons for my fighting games, I think Skullgirls did well with the touch screen controls, because they’re not too bad and everything is responsive. The story is interesting and I like that there are multiple game modes so you can always find something entertaining if you need a break from a particular mode. While I don’t think I’ll be using the Fight Assist mode, it’s nice that the option is there for those who usually don’t play fighting games, which make this title truly a “fighting game for everyone.”

    This mobile version of Skullgirls takes the best of the original game and the worst of Marvel Contest of Champions.

    Skullgirls is a flashy-looking game that is pretty miserable to actually play. It's combat feels a little too simple, and your success seems determined more by lucky Relic rewards than skill. Add to this the fact that this is a fighting game with no multiplayer component, and there's very little reason to actually pick Skullgirls up.

    Honestly one of the best mobile games out there. While the gacha aspect of getting fighters out of relics can sometimes be a negative forHonestly one of the best mobile games out there. While the gacha aspect of getting fighters out of relics can sometimes be a negative for people without those great nats they game makes diamonds really accessible through grinding but other than that the gameplay at it's core is great and i hope HVS continues to do well with this game!… Expand

    Probably the worst handled censorship contraversy I've seen in my life, I've adored this game for many years but the new devs are butcheringProbably the worst handled censorship contraversy I've seen in my life, I've adored this game for many years but the new devs are butchering it to the point of removing fan favourite character's backstories and 700K kickstarter stretch goals that have been out gor over a decade and well recieved.

    Unnaceptable the state of thegame, and the devs are censoring any criticism.    … Expand
