    This game has been censored and content removed. This is a 10 year old game and most owners can't get a refund and Steam is even complicit in hiding negative reviews as "off-topic". I think when they come and take away a part of a product you paid for and refuse refunds, that's very on-topic.

    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 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.

    -Removed payed content from DLC
    -Removed an annoucer that was a kickstart goal that was met
    -Engaged on review manipulation by paying for positive reviews and removal of negative ones from steam.
    -Censorship galore of any discussion on this matters

    The current IP holders have censored the game with a mandatory patch. Removing content paid for by kickstarter backers in the process. Never under any circumstances support these publishers if game preservation is at all important to you.

    The series is now in the hands of self-righteous busybodies that think they have a moral high ground that really only exists in their delusional heads, so the games have been censored to remove content that offends them at the expense of the fans. Don't give them a dime.

    Un juego cuyo mayor atractivo era lo políticamente incorrecto que era y por el cual gente ah pagado dinero ya sea en un crowdfunding o comprando en steam, ahora están cambiando el contenido del juego por el cual pagaron, hasta cierto punto se puede decir que están estafando a sus consumidores

    Used to be a 10 and I supported this game since it was on kickstarter, but suddenly they decided to remove content from the game like pages from a digital art book and a voice which both were backer rewards and now they ignore their fans, what's next? Coming home to rip pages from your physical artbook because it's immoral now?

    Do not support censorship, let this game die just like the developers want. I wish I could get a refund for this game. The original game was a fun fighting game, this is a butchering from people that are not even the original creators, from people that are more interested in pushing their political agenda than to make a goof game.

    Owned this game for the last nine years only for the devs to come out and censor and remove content from the game i bought with my hard earned money, censorship is wrong, it is always wrong and its not defendable at all in any scenario, allowing this in Skullgirls sets a precedent that this is somehow okay. This is why every change is absolutely morally bankrupt and anti-consumer.

This is why every change is absolutely morally bankrupt and anti-consumer.

    Big Band's removed cgs showcased the cruelty of the mafia and how badly hurt Ben Birdland got from his beating, removing it for 'racial violence' is reducing Ben to nothing but his skin color, not everything that happens to a black character happens due to his damn race.

    Removing art from the art gallery without even consulting the artists is **** for obvious reasons, epecially when some of these came from a cancer art drive for charity.

    The russian announcer was a paid for kickstarter goal, removing it is telling everyone who donated or just like using it to go screw themselves. Some might say it was removed because the man who dubbed it was ousted from the company but that is not a valid excuse, people paid for a RUSSIAN announcer, not a MikeZ announcer, they should have had someone redub it.

    Reddit and discord mods for Skullgirls have made it against the rules to complain about the new patch and mods are now starting to be taken off Steam, even the Skullmods mod launcher was taken down. The two most downloaded mods were a mod to take Sonic Fox off the game and the mod to revert the censorship of the last patch
    Btw the second one was taken down one hour after being posted
    They do not want to give you a choice
    They want you to shut up, sit down and accept everything like a good little consumer

    They're also changing Valentine's design and removing every cross of her design to make her look less like a nurse, despite the red cross having **** off for the last 7 years or so ever since they made her red crosses pink.

    Removing the armband from the Egrets changes NOTHING about them being an obvious Nazi group, they in universe fought in a world war to prove they were a superior master race, they are obviously nazi.

    Removing the single Filia pantyshot might be the most 'nothing' change but that just brings up why they changed it in the first place, there are still lots of pantyshots of her in the game, censoring one won't defend this fictional minor from any nonexistent attacks, if they really were worried about 'sexualizing a minor' which again, is purely fictional and hurts no one, they would remove all of them and then redesign Filia because her design is sexualized by design, she was made to be oggled at and that can be seen from most of her body fat being in her **** thighs, and no one would like to see the design they came to love being changed and censored, the simple change would be to change her to 18 but nah the devs don't want to make sense. And if you genuinely think i, or anyone else attacking these changes is a pedo for being against this change please ask yourself what real life teenager looks like Filia, which again, is a **** drawing on a game. And even besides that this change is just a small drop on a pool of horrible changes.

    Don't support this game or these devs unless you want content being taken off your purchases to become commonplace.    … Expand

También, la actualización trae consigo censura y cambios hechos justificados porque son para un “público actual”. Además, se han eliminado algunas escenas de la historia por lo mismo mencionado anteriormente (sin considerar que era parte del lore). Cabe destacar que, desde la partida de los creadores originales, la idea de "Skullgirls" fue cambiando y no precisamente para bien, y la actualización de este pasado 28 de junio confirmó el pensamiento de la mayoría. El juego que surgió algún día como un proyecto de GoFundMe a costa del dinero de personas que, queriendo ver todas esas "características" que lo diferenciaba de otros, hoy no es más que una sombra de ello, ya que como se pudo dar a entender, todos estos "cambios y/o ajustes" son algo que para nada se pedía y que quizás signifiquen la caída y/o decadencia de uno de los juegos que mayor apoyo tuvo de parte de internet algún día.… Expand

    The current devs of this game just censored a bunch of stuff in game, including fan art, character designs, and any possible references to fascism, racism, or police brutality (which are important themes to multiple characters stories). Do not give them any money until they revert these changes.

    Do not play this game, after years of it being an unique and interesting game in the fighting sphere they decide to censor elements that are over 10 years old. Do not EVER play this game or engage with this company.

    After playing this game some more and checking the up'n'coming development cycle that I've (we've) been thrown in, I cannot recommend this game period!.

    Not just with thrown the creators off like Mike Z or Alex. It also looks like they've teamed up with the company that Mr Wizz was in Evo where he was looking at child porn.

    It also looks like they've teamed up with the company that Mr Wizz was in Evo where he was looking at child porn.

    Anyways I've literally copy/pasted this from my friend on me telling them reasons not to play Skullgirls I think fighting games are a 90's things, if you're into the 90's you might as well stay with the 90's as Skullgirls is just a clone rip off of those games (mainly Mortal Kombat and Marvel vs Capcom) claiming to be there for them when its not

    Anyways more of details the 95% say is good or are just fake reviews trying to be nice or something:

    The story isn't finished and what is there doesn't make sense they literally polled it and threw characters nobody knows into the game like Eliza who isn't meant to be there rather then finishing the story which now they're charging character packs for.

    The fans into the pedo crap
    The infinity breaker doesn't work the main attraction to the game
    Old as hell the graphics look really terrible when the screen gets stretched to ratio it can be clearly seen on Filia's socks on the Classroom stage

    They have now a fox who humps dead dogs featured on that classroom level

    They game overall control mechanics are bloody terrible mainly characters like Cerebella where you have quarter forward/back moves where the buttons are so bad that those moves can be countered by pressing right. down, right for a quarter move

    Doesn't make sense and worse doing those quarter moves on keyboard the right, down, right is a strain and barely even works (good luck even once).

    SKULLGIRLS overall review after charging for a game that came out in 2013 paid before on Kickstarter or whatever by the fans for around 44 quid or like 50 odd dollars reviewed at around 95%

    Eh meh I've seen games with a 4 out 10 better to play so here it is your denial this game is terrible 4/10 just because the buttons when pressed to hit and the stages look pretty the music overall is the best overall but besides that nothing works I could just look at Alex's work listening to tunes then play this crap again.    … Expand

    cada luchadora tiene un estilo de pelea con animaciones muy impecables y igual para ejecutarlos con el mando. tiene que ser muy precisó para lograr lograr impresionantes movimientos de combate.
    la verdad tengo muy pocas cosas negativas del videojuego. algo que si me ubiera encantado es poder escoger los movimientos y imprimirlos en la pantalla al momento del combate como por ejemplo "mortal kombat 11", son muchos movimientos que es muy complicado apréndelos por completo.

    definitivamente un juego que se gano el aprecio de muchos gamers y un juego de culto para muchos.    … Expand

    A fighting game that should appeal to everyone regardless of their experience with the genre. Friendly to newcomers (but it does not reward button mashing) and deep enough for the seasoned enthusiasts. [11/2013, p.82]
