★★★★★ A fantastic game, but with a concern
Sat Jul 10 2021 Sherb.777SkullGirls is very clearly a passion project and I love it. The animation, the music, the gameplay, and structure of the game is wonderful, and I’ve definitely put a lot of time into this game in the past few months I’ve been playing! And unlike other mobile games, SGM only requires that you spend some time playing rather than spend actual currency to make progress in the game, which is actually really nice and makes it far from being pay-to-win! The developers clearly put so much time, care, and attention into this game and have created something so beautiful and fun.
However, if you’re planning on getting into SGM or you’re a parent of a kid who plays/wants to play, I highly recommend turning the chat function off. While the game could be arguably rated 12+, the chat is absolutely not. There are countless people that use the chat function not to ask for advice or discuss gameplay, but to spew a LOT of inappropriate things. Whether it’s about underaged children or graphic adult drawings of characters from the game— or even just straight-up hate speech— the developers just don’t seem to care what goes on in their game chat. I can usually ignore this and move on as an adult, but what bothers me is that this game is rated 12+, so I really do think this is a massively inappropriate problem to have.
But again, bravo to the developers for creating such a masterpiece; I just hope they can make the chat more of a safe and comfortable experience.
★★★★★ This game is truly the BEST fighting game on mobile
Sat Jun 13 2020 Bruh ;-; BruhI was very surprised of how well made and great this game is. The controls are simple but yet effective. The gameplay is good for beginners but you will need practice to be good. (Personally love that game design). The design of the graphically is AMAZING to say the least. It’s runs very smoothly (around 60-80 FPS witch is unheard of in mobile) the graphics and game art style is AMAZING. The character roster is really really great with characters for every different play style. And I love how that added a competitive mode with all of the characters unlocked and all moves unlocked. But Man I wish mobile would let us the skin of the character you own in competitive, like it would still be competitive but it would let me use my other big band costumes but only the skin not the stats, like an ult in smash bros or other fighting games or like in 2nd encore we’re they let you use a skin, and I want it because I want to show people cool looking characters and stuff but I don’t like playing free for all because not only people with characters that have the power level advantage would win 90% of the time, but the good thing is you can show off the cool characters. So if the game devs are reading this please add a feature we’re we can use the character costumes in competitive. This game is really really worth a download and playing and I’m only asking for one thing and that is to let us use our character costumes in competitive.
★★★★★ Enjoyable and passionate, but..
Wed Apr 12 2023 SatyadhiptaI’m actually suprised at how good this game is. I especially enjoy the unique physical movement of each characters during the fight. The artstyle are also really clean and fun to look at. However raising xp for characters is so hard and there are no (permanent) ingame shop with ingame currency that lets u buy those fishes , meatball or squid to instantly raise xp and power up. And here’s another case… i got a lot of those in the beginning but i spent it for some bronze characters that their level reached 30. But after i evolved one of my fav character to silver… they are back to lvl 1!!! Did i just wasted all those resources for nothing and have to rebuild this character again?! Her power was alrd 600ish and now it’s back to 100ish. There’s also a daily mission to get those resources but it’s just really hard to pass for early players, 3 on 3 n their powers are mostly 1000ish each.
Also the gacha rate is kinda sad- i haven’t got gold characters at all, not to mention any diamonds. I was fine with that tho since u can just evolve your fav babies, it’s just when i thought of raising and finally evolving one of my silvers to Gold or even diamonds but then had to start over grinding from lvl 1 again…..
So i think i’ll drop this game, but it’s really enjoyable game nonetheles and i feel the passion through this game, so i think it’s worth to be recomended and still 5 stars, goodluck!.
★★★★★ This game is legit as good as some pc games
Sat Jul 18 2020 vggguhbdtjvfI downloaded this game a couple weeks ago and i’ve been grinding a lot, almost every day, and I can’t seem to get enough of the game. I haven’t spent a cent but I can still get as far as everyone else by just playing. this game is hilarious, from intro/outro lines, but it even has JOJO REFERENCES. I could leave the review here from that last point alone but I have more praise for this game. I love the gameplay mechanics, they’re easy to learn and when you can eventually hit like 30 hit combos you feel untouchable. Another good aspect of this game are the constant updates and daily/weekly challenges. they keep the game interesting without necessarily getting repetitive. I’ve never gotten bored playing because as soon as i’m getting tired of fighting AI in story mode and prize fights, I can challenge myself on versus where you can win with numerous strategies and there are infinite possibilities of good teams to destroy people with. this game runs incredibly smooth, and i’m playing on a 4 year old iphone 8 with pretty much no storage left, but this game is the smoothest game i’ve ever played on IOS. hard to believe this is a phone game. basically this game is god tier. admins if there’s one thing i’d like to see different is that i’m coming to the end of story mode even tho i’m lvl 48, and the story is mad interesting too, so i’d love to see continuation if that’s possible.
★★★★★ I am BLOWN away!
Sat Jan 05 2019 King_Zekrom_100This game is absolutely great in every way possible. If you know you can handle it. It’s not for everyone. You need good hand eye coordination, and just being mature enough as you will enjoy the game even more. Getting premium credit is not difficult once you master how the system works a and how to properly use a good number of the 12 different fighters. I currently use Peacock, Squigly, Ms. Fortune and Beowulf really well now. Just playing a good amount that you get comfortable using combos and adapting makes it even more enjoyable. It will get slow after day not gonna lie but once I persevered and continued to keep players by I was rewarded with having lots of fun and getting excited to start getting silver tier and hopefully soon enough a gold tier. If you get stuck, you must remember as I don’t see too much help online,
Don’t sell anything (yet)
Upgrade Bronze even if you know there are silver and gold characters. (They are still good to have)
Take risks that fit how well you play.
I also love the comments some of these characters make after winning a match. I’m still laughing after the fact. Getting fully immersed in the story will be amazing for you. There are so many good things to say that you should just stop reading and play already. Thanks for this awesome btw, developers. Music is great, graphics is 200% on point, no glitching EVER and I’m happy to be playing! 🤩🤯🤗🤟🏻👏🏻👌🏻
★★★★★ Good Golly
Sun May 13 2018 Pony Man Of DoomDear everyone,
THIS GAME IS GREAT! This game has that sweet style of music that really strikes a cord with jazz fans, and the characters are pretty fabulous. (Hehe, just play. You’ll see what I mean.) Each character has a unique play style, though I have found a universal combo for most of the characters. [Start Strategy Zone] I love the unique abilities of each character, like Peacock’s Under-Uppercut (That’s what I think it should be named anyways, lol.), or Parasoul’s Tear Mines, they all have a unique ability that helps build on their combo. For example, if you use Peacock, swipe down twice, then swipe up if the opponent isn’t blocking, tap twice, then uppercut or use a Blockbuster, and their HP should vanish. As for Parasoul, since she has Tear Mines instead, use her charge attack to detonate against enemies. Tear Mines are more of an experience to achieve kind of thing, but once you get it down, melting opponents is easy. Whenever you aren’t fighting, block and wait until they’ve used up a combo or you can dash in. [End Strategy Zone] By the way, I have extremely potent RNG strength and can get Golds out of the singular Premiums, so don’t be like me. Save up, and get the 10. To the devs, I LOVE YOUR GAME! This is one of the more unique games I’ve found since... This is one of the first unique games I will ever find. I love this game like I love my teddy bear collection!
★★★★★ Updated this review changed from 4 to 5 star
Mon Mar 12 2018 RAVEN2929The game play look great and the story and the way they set it up, only issue I’m having is understanding how it works and how to put the characters in play, I bought a few items and have no ideal how to implement them I’ve tried going to help menus and even tech support but it sends me to another site I have to login and I don’t like how it uses your email as your name, i don’t really want company name on a game wish you could change that in settings , I looked in setting how to and couldn’t find anything, looks great and I’m an avid gamer I just wish the interface was more user friendly.
Updated review: so after playing more and just going with what I did know so far, i eventually started to understand the set up better and maybe that’s part of Learning the game mechanics I didn’t think about that I just assumed I’d get how works right off the start but that could also be my impatience at work! Changed my 4 star to a 5 star, this is first time I ever wanted to update a review, my main reason for doing so is that fact the developer actually takes the time to read reviews and will direct you where to get help if needed. Thanks for your time I’d try the game out and keep playing for awhile even if you don’t get it at first, you will!
★★★★★ Great! But I have some ideas
Sun Aug 11 2019 436375353738363738This game is amazing fighting game for mobile, with great controls, interesting and fun to play characters, and way more content than other games, even on console. However, there is something I would prefer to be in the game. I think it would be cool if there was a traditional fighting game mode, where you can choose any character you want and all special moves can be equipped. This traditional mode can mainly be either a random battle against a cpu, or a fight against every character. I am aware that the limitations of the touch screen can cause having all the specials to be too hard to control, but there are alternatives. There can be a button that can be clicked on to use special moves. The button can be tapped for a neutral attack, swiped left for something, right for something, down for something, or it can be held for something. Moves that can be held include moves like big band’s counter. Blockbuster attacks should be chosen however, and once it’s filled up, you can just click the neutral special to activate it, similar to final smashes in smashbros. I would love to see this control scheme in this game, but I could be over imagining. This is just personal ideas that I think would be good. Either way, this game is really good.
