I hope that the other characters will be released at some point, but as long as skullo mania is in the game I’m happy. Great game and super fun. ### 2/5 — Tech Demo??? *2022-10-03, version 1.0.0* Judging on a “port” basis… The graphics look amazing The touch-controls are actually very easy and make the game fun for casual mobile gamers. But… Why go through the trouble of porting the game over with amazing controls, just to stop there? There are barely any available characters, you cannot access Arcade mode or anything else. You’re stuck in training mode.This game has been out for years now so obviously the developer has forgotten this app. There is zero point to this game. ### 4/5 — Good but needs more content *2022-08-31, version 1.0.0* It feels good to play, but only four characters, no local play, and not even a way to select the difficulty of the CPU really hurts the game. I highly doubt they'll do this, but I hope they add a few more characters so this doesn't feel like a demo of a demo of a game that isn't even in the App Store. ### 4/5 — Plz add controller support *2022-06-13, version 1.0.0* It’s great game with good graphics and immersive combat only thing it needs in my opinion is controller support and pvp ### 4/5 — great game when is there going to be an update? *2022-02-22, version 1.0.0* The game graphics and controllers are pretty good but I heard it’s been in BetaFor a little while now I was wondering when is it going to be a full game ### 2/5 — Ok mais *2021-11-27, version 1.0.0* C’est du foutage de gueule le jeu c’est une démo très dommage sinon les graphismes très jolies et c’est tout ### 3/5 — needs updating *2021-09-25, version 1.0.0* so the game is good. graphics arent that good compared to more recent games but the controls i really like because it offers a lot of freedom and is not just set buttons. i also like how each character has unique combat style and everything. the things good about it, the game does good but the things bad are quite big issues. for example, you can only play as 4 characters. there are other ones but you cant play them which i find a shame. also its all infinite levels which makes it boring. and because theres only 4 characters, the character you fight for every one of those infinite rounds is pretty much the same which gets boring fast. the animation is amazing though and the gameplay easy to get used to playing. i think this game needs updating to be more modern. can be something good if there is change to it. ### 5/5 — Update *2021-07-16, version 1.0.0* Truly i love this game and i hope you guys can update this game and put an arcade mode and online versus, also can unlock the characters ### 5/5 — Очень понравилось *2021-05-09, version 1.0.0* Не забрасывайте пожалуйста ### 5/5 — My review *2021-05-01, version 1.0.0* I love this game and i just got it i was just wondering if you guys can give us like an arcade mode and a pvp mode so we could vs other people and our friends too i really love this game and i would love to see these things come to this mobile game and finally can you also give us ways to get the other characters as well i hope you read this and add this to your fun exiting mobile fighting game❤️ ### 5/5 — Pls *2021-02-15, version 1.0.0* Can you guys allow all characters on Mobile pls ### 5/5 — UPDate!!! *2021-01-27, version 1.0.0* This game is So Amazing I Love it. Add All Things That Are in The Game!!! Add all the charcters!! It’s too good. Update now! ### 5/5 — Poisson d’avril *2021-01-14, version 1.0.0* Le jeu est beau, fun mais c’est un troll de la part des développeurs, le vrai jeu est sur console et pc 🤭 ### 5/5 — Класс *2020-12-16, version 1.0.0* Уважаемые разработчики не забрасывайте мобильную версию игры пожалуйста. Я готов купить игру если вы откроете всех персонажей. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Don’t download it’s not worth it *2026-02-20, version 1.0.0* Don’t download this game it’s nothing like the Console ps5, steam, or Nintendo switch version and you can’t even play the other characters just delete it so don’t even try playing this it’s not worth it ### 1/5 — This game sucks *2025-12-28, version 1.0.0* Don’t even waste ur time the console game is fun actually and it’s sad that the online is dead but this is just a training demo with poor controls, no modes, and only 4 characters don’t play you’ll regret but do try the console version it’s rlly fun ### 1/5 — Add terry on mobile *2022-10-26, version 1.0.0* Can you please add terry bogard on mobile please ### 1/5 — Zero content, no training mode, no proper arcade mode *2020-06-25, version 1.0.0* What is this even supposed to be??? This isn’t even a fighting game on its own and it’s so goddamn lazy. No victory quotes or voice line at all, no training, no extra modes, no characters, NO CONTENT. All you do is fight through the same roster of characters non stop. Where is the content, WHERE IS THE ONLINE. SkullGirls has way more content and is a FAR better fighting experience than this. This is more or less a tech demo for Unreal 4 on mobile. Extremely disappointing. Not recommended at all ### 1/5 — It keeps crashing when i open the app on my ipad mini *2019-12-08, version 1.0.0* when i first download the app the description is good and when the app is done downloading i open the app and there was a loading screen and it crashed ### 1/5 — Why ? *2019-09-30, version 1.0.0* We now have devices capable of running the full real game. Why not release the game with Xbox or PS4 controller support ? I would gladly pay 10$ for it. ### 1/5 — Bug no sistema *2019-09-21, version 1.0.0* Realmente no sistema iOS está bug nem entrada ### 1/5 — Pvp *2019-09-15, version 1.0.0* Where is the PVP!!!! ### 1/5 — When *2019-09-05, version 1.0.0* When is this going to be a Full game hellllllllllo. Developers lets go. ### 1/5 — Вылетает *2019-08-14, version 1.0.0* Белые икраны и всё ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I still play hoping for the rest othe cast *2025-08-13, version 1.0.0* I love this mobile game i constantly play it i hope for more characters one day. ### 5/5 — El mejor juego de lucha *2025-03-17, version 1.0.0* Realmente desearía que los desarrolladores le pusieran entusiasmo y añadan mas personajes, este juego merece tener mas personajes y mas opciones hasta un online, sin dudas lo mejorcito que he probado, lo recomiendo 10/10. ### 5/5 — Dec 2024 - Fantastic FGC Game! *2024-12-15, version 1.0.0* Dec 2024 Review This is the best fighting game on mobile. I have majority: All SNK’s Garou Real bout King of fighters Samurai Shodown Art of Fighting Even the Street Fighter CE And streets of rage 4 brawler genre.. That said.. I repeat… this is the best fighter on here. Specifically due to the fact it was designed with touch controls, everything is very fluid. You just flew from one move into another.. it even has leniency in the timing windows to make up for the fact you are using touch screen. I would GLADLY pay the full retail price for the full release of the premium game here on mobile. —————————————- OLD REVIEW 2019 I’m shocked by its PS4 similarities. How it looks graphically, animates, smooth 60fps... even copying release of limited characters and release date on April Fools day. • Please make sure to release all characters. • Please provide an engaging online experience - single player will kill you as a business, you already know this, this is FGC game, not a single player RPG. • Please ADD controller support. Here in Mobile one of the most used controllers is the Steel Series Nimbus. (You can work your way from there to add others) but ADD controller support! Playing on glass w/ fingers is not same as controller. • BENEFICIAL FOR YOU AS DEVS - FROM APPLE: Look into the recently announced Apple Arcade, it should help you guys. Apple provides support and other benefits for devs - look into it. I would like you guys to prosper, so we may have a wonderful fighting game that gets constant additions sort of like Killer Instinct did, when first it released on Xbox One. Mad love ❤️ goes out to you guys... Outside of what I mentioned above regarding adding the entire character roster, online matchmaking and controller support, I am beyond impressed with what you have managed do with the mobile port of FEXL. We have a true FGC on the horizon. ### 5/5 — Прочтите перед использованием *2023-07-09, version 1.0.0* Для всех интересующихся скажу сразу, это игра была сделана в качестве шутки на первое апреля. Оригинальный Fighting Ex Layer доступен для пк и консолей. Можете вполне его попробовать если вас заинтересовала эта «демка». Фанатам японских файтингов зайдёт. ### 5/5 — Nice *2022-03-19, version 1.0.0* It’s very good but characters and story line is missing😭😭😭😭😭 ### 5/5 — Full version *2022-02-13, version 1.0.0* I need the full version ### 5/5 — ผมรู้แล้วว่าตัวละคร Allen คือ Ryu ใน street fighter *2022-02-08, version 1.0.0* ดีมากครับ ### 5/5 — Great game *2021-12-06, version 1.0.0* Great game but I still don’t understand how to unlock the other characters ?. ### 5/5 — 製品化してほしい *2021-10-01, version 1.0.0* 操作感よくてすごい楽しい。ぜひ製品化して下さい！ ### 5/5 — Update the game please *2021-09-13, version 1.0.0* The game really good but why are you guys just update for console,we can buy your game you know --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
