A dynamic and well animated fight in which we play the title warriors. The creators of the game wanted to create a production aimed at both veterans and novices. The first group should appreciate the extensive combat system, and the second group should appreciate the large number of tutorials.

Skullgirls is a fast-paced, 2D fighting game developed by Reverge Labs and lead by tournament champ Mike “Mike Z” Zaimont and artist Alex “o_8” Ahad.

Drawing on the best features the genre has to offer, Skullgirls is designed to be a tournament-grade fighter while remaining approachable and engaging for the casual player.
