Skullgirls 2nd Encore

Skullgirls 2nd Encore is a 2D fighting game set in a stylized, darkly cartoonish world. Choose from 14 hand-animated fighters, each with a distinct moveset and personality, and follow character-focused story modes.

Fight alone or form a team, using assists and fast combos to attack and create openings. Team size affects how you approach a match, while each fighter offers different options to learn and combine.

Story and arcade play sit alongside tutorials, trials, challenges, and training tools. These let you practice moves, explore different fighters, and build your skills before or between head-to-head matches.

Players who enjoy Skullgirls often praise its expressive hand-drawn animation, distinctive characters, music, and fast, deep combat. Tutorials and single-player modes are also appreciated as ways to learn and keep playing. Recurring complaints include changes or removals to art and story content, as well as online matches that can be difficult for newcomers because opponents may be far more experienced; some reviewers also report sparse lobbies.
