Skull Girls, an underrated fighting game.

Skull Girls, the title itself, may sound weird to anyone that doesn't know the game. It's a fighting RPG that might look pretty new; well, it isn't. It has been on Steam and going on since 2013 with the name, "Skull Girls 2nd Encore"

The plot rotates around the mysterious skull heart, which can be said that grants any young girl's wishes, but those who got the skull heart with impure thoughts would lead the holder in despair. It may be simple, yet, it was entertaining and hooking as the storyline gets more and more informative, each playable characters have their own story and purpose.

In this game, you can collect fighters through relics that are obtainable in various ways, (achievements, story mode, et cetera). You can also collect moves in relics, which are called special moves and blockbusters, the ultimate skill. Collecting relics is very grindy, and difficult, and it all depends on one's luck. I've seen a lot of players complain about the drops they got, a turn-off for bad percentages.

The game also has numerous issues with designs and experienced negative review bombing due to the backlash of bad decisions, with some fighters, specifically young-aged, wearing revealing clothes.

Nonetheless, I have considered it a good fighting RPG for mobile. Each playable characters have their special traits, speed, damage, sustainability, and more. Each special move and blockbuster assists in making better combos, although upgrading fighters with the scarcity of resources may be a hard start; small power gaps aren't an issue with combos and skills.

Focusing on being a good fighting RPG for mobile, I would suggest the game for enthusiasts that would appreciate fighting, making up combos, and the like. However, I won't suggest it for players that simply love to collect, as the percentages are a bit ugly.
