Skullgirls Is Making Its Way To iPhone And Android Devices
Skullgirls, the animated fighting game from developer Lab Zero, is making its way to mobile devices later this year following a closed beta.
It's not a direct port of the original game. Instead, it tells a complementary story with its first season serving as a prequel. It will feature dozens of characters, upgradable special moves, RPG progression, customization, team/deck building mechanics and a “Fight Assist feature that lets players take on a more turn-based, tactical role in combat.”
This version of the game is being developed by Hidden Variable Studios in partnership with Lab Zero and is planned for release on iOS and Android platforms later this year. The game will have a closed beta players will be able to sign up for soon.
