Skullgirls is an indie developed fighting game that has received really good responses from the fighting game community with its release on consoles last year. It took a bit of time and money for the team to do it, but Skullgirls is about to finally release on PC/Steam. Pre-purchases went up a few days ago and those that grab it now will get beta access as well as a color palette DLC pack. Now I generally don't care about color palette for characters in fighting games, but I was convinced to get the game and started playing the game and noticed some interesting color combinations. Apparently, there are a LOT of references of other characters from comic, games, and animé in the color palette for the fighters. Seen in the video up above is a list of referenced characters from X-Men, Madoka, The King of Fighters, Guilty Gear, and many others. It's a really cool color palette option and one I'm glad I got.
As far as the game goes, I am impressed by it so far. Controls are tight, animation is fluid, and combo mechanics flow naturally from one attack to another. Along with that is an in-depth and comprehensive tutorial that explains and teaches all the fundamentals of a fighting game as well the game specific mechanics within Skullgirls. In that sense, beginners to fighting games can learn all the most basic concepts of fighting games such as poking, blocking, countering, and performing combos. The game currently has 9 characters and we can hope to get more in the future as the game's popularity grows.
To note right now, Beta access opens up Arcade mode, Training, and Versus local. Story and online mode is disabled for now as the game finishes beta and officially launches on August 22. I heard that the story is actually pretty decent for the game, so I'm looking forward to playing that. Skullgirls can be pre-ordered on Steam for $14.99 and will launch on August 22.
