### 3/5 — Good game… but it had a few issues

*2026-09-01, version 8.10*

The gacha system in the move rerolls, is really bad. Lots of times it can take you 30+ tries to get the stat you want.
Also, it has become  very difficult to farm Theonites after the update.
Lastly, the exclusive variants, especially number cruncher have been very difficult to get

### 3/5 — Game idk

*2026-08-24, version 8.9.1*

Sometimes the modifiers are too much

### 2/5 — Crashes constantly. Please fix it!

*2026-08-21, version 8.9.1*

I really love this game but recently it started to crash randomly and it’s happened more than once on a daily basis. Please fix this issue asap, it’s been ruining my experience. I’ve lost so many fights because of it crashing! This is getting VERY frustrating.

### 3/5 — Keep your Identity

*2026-08-18, version 8.9.1*

It’s very clear you guys think that MCOC are the reason you failed and are trying to structure your monetisation like them. Don’t. They’re failing so bad that DCKO is already getting a bad rap because they’re ex Kabam devs. Your game was great before and just needed you to listen to the community but now this IP is turning into a cash grab and the Skullgirls dev should feel great shame

### 2/5 — Fine game… but

*2026-08-16, version 8.9.1*

The gacha system in the move rerolls, is really bad. 
And it is very difficult to farm Theonites.

### 3/5 — ☠️

*2026-08-16, version 8.9.1*

пофиксите уже наконец-то баги, че за донатная помойка

### 3/5 — Crashes constantly. Is it just me?

*2026-08-14, version 8.9.1*

I really love this game but recently it started to crash randomly and it’s happened more than once on a daily basis. Please fix this issue asap, it’s been ruining my experience. It keeps happening when I’m in an event battle like the undying fight.

### 3/5 — Не могу зайти на свой аккаунт

*2026-08-12, version 8.9.1*

Здравствуйте , не понимаю почему я не могу зайти на свой аккаунт с помощью  Гугл  . До этого я заходил на свой  аккаунт в Skullgirls  без проблем но сейчас у меня почему то вышло с акаунта и когда я пытаюсь зайти не получается .
А так игра очень крутая  даже разрабы чуть чуть подобрели и дают много всего

### 2/5 — I’ve been playing this game for years

*2026-08-10*

I’ve been playing this game since high school or college, it’s been so long I can’t even remember anymore. I was able to play this long because many of the updates they’ve done made it more friendly to play. 

You know how most mobile games need you to pay money to recharge and continue playing? Skullgirls used to be that way, but not anymore. 

Well, actually maybe yet again they are that way. The recent update put recharges behind a paywall. Maybe it’s because their gacha system is not profitable. If you like gacha just for pulling characters, it’s satisfying. But imagine finally pulling the character you want, spending hours (or money!) on them, only for them to be nerfed. It’s understandable that some fighters may need to be nerfed because of things overlooked in testing, but this game has quite heavy nerfs on fighter pass variants. 

Will this game make your long boring bus ride more fun? Yes. (Though the most recent update might affect how long you can actually play). Will it also rage bait you almost daily? Yes. It’s absolutely ridden with bugs and updates that no one asked for. Download at your own risk.

### 5/5 — Update

*2026-08-09, version 8.9.1*

Omg I love you so much skullgirls, you better not nerf your game again. I love you so much skullgirls team for fixing your game by not turning it into a money hungry game. I love your game so much 🤫🤫❤️❤️

### 5/5 — Reward issues

*2026-08-08, version 8.9.1*

Love this game but the thing with our daily gift being halved is back again. At least for me it is

### 4/5 — Purchasing

*2026-08-08, version 8.9.1*

I only put four because when I’m purchasing more energy with theonite, it’s saying I don’t have enough. The amount needed is 140 and I have 250, so not really happy with how that’s happening. Overall great game though!!!:)

### 4/5 — Controller support when?

*2026-08-08, version 8.9.1*

I just think there should be some

### 5/5 — ABSOLUTE PEAKNESS

*2026-08-08, version 8.9.1*

My TWINK FRIEND said I should play this AND OH HOW IT DIDNT DISAPPOINT ME

### 5/5 — sgm

*2026-08-08, version 8.9.1*

### 1/5 — .

*2026-08-22, version 8.9.1*

The game is full of bugs and exploiters. And additionally the devs add too many buffs to the bots and variants. Very not fun, and it makes the game kind of suck

### 1/5 — Fix this it’s annoying

*2026-08-14, version 8.9.1*

Your game keeps force closing even when it’s the only app running, there’s no clearing the data and restarting the app I’m on iOS fix these and I’ll change my review

### 1/5 — приветик

*2026-08-09, version 8.9.1*

привктик

### 1/5 — 数值BUG

*2026-08-08, version 8.9.1*

我给赛雷贝拉重置了她的属性：我把+18%充条率重制成了+18%防御，但是你没有给我加防御！！！你范儿倒是很勤快的把我的充条率下降了18%😡。

### 1/5 — nerfing f2p resourses?

*2026-08-08, version 8.9.1*

are you serious?!

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2026-08-07, version 8.9.0*

Worst game ever created p2w only no other way to play the game except money

### 1/5 — Tim from Lab Zero.

*2026-08-06, version 8.9.0*

You’re trying to rob us and your games infrastructure is wearing away. You have a couple months max

### 1/5 — new update sucks!

*2026-08-05, version 8.9.0*

dear developers, GIVE BACK OUR FREE DAILY (and backstage pass one) THEONITE and fix prize fights pls

### 1/5 — баг за багом

*2026-08-05, version 8.9.0*

год за годом багами полна игра и отрывки этих багов будут баговать меня

### 1/5 — Update sucks pure unfiltered booty 👎👎

*2026-08-05, version 8.9.0*

I’ve been playing this game for a while now, and the updates have been pretty much the same thing over and over again and has been going downhill. But the newest update? it’s somehow made the game worse than it already was. 

They’ve reduced rewards from dailies, prize fights, daily/guild ops, guild rewards.. you get the point. They’ve basically made it barely playable for f2p players and are making it harder and harder for you to not spend money. Me and many other players are extremely upset about this horrible update, and I don’t think I’ll be playing again until I get news of something changing. 
(or if i get 3k theo aha)

*2026-09-01, version 8.10.1*

I. Love. Marie. You. Too. More. Cards. On painweel and. Marie. Pls.

### 5/5 — Peacock origin story

*2026-08-31, version 8.9.1*

I love this game but please make all three stages of the peacock origin story master more easier please because it’s so hard it is taking away the fun of the game and a lot of players have this issue please can this be fixed asap

### 5/5 — I don’t get it…

*2026-08-30, version 8.9.1*

How can a game with such a unique style and gameplay mechanics exist in this cruel world?! It’s hard at times, but that’s what losers say!!! Top ten fave modern games, easy♥️♥️♥️

### 5/5 — Ok

*2026-08-29, version 8.9.1*

I like the characters also my friend wants to crack her

### 5/5 — Bug

*2026-08-27, version 8.9.1*

I’m reporting a bug in Skullgirls on my iPhone 14 where selecting the same fighter multiple times causes their voice line to stack and play all at once when I stop. It’s noticeably louder and distorted, and it’s only the character’s line, not the announcer’s. I’ve tried restarting the app and checking my phone’s audio settings, but the problem still happens every time I select the same fighter repeatedly.

### 5/5 — Ityagirl Mimi

*2026-08-23, version 8.9.1*

This is so so so good bye bye’s

### 5/5 — ✨fashion✨

*2026-08-22, version 8.9.1*

Add skins to the characters in skull girls☠️

### 5/5 — The combat experience is perfect, but it has many flaws

*2026-08-15, version 8.9.1*

It suffers from issues in economy, having a scarcity of diamond keys that are hard to gain, characters just don't feel that special anymore, the energy system feels useless, it costs too much to upgrade moves and diamond fighters, the limit to number of fighters and moves just exists to be annoying, the backstage pass doesn't feel like it gives enough and progressing it takes too long and it's like a chore just to get small things if you don't pay money, also it feels like there's an illusion of options because some modes are begging for a change

### 5/5 — Love it! I just have a tiny suggestion

*2026-08-09, version 8.9.1*

I absolutely love this game! Just do u think u can make a character base off of Pierrot from tfc? It would mean a lot to me! 🙏

### 5/5 — This. Game is super fun

*2026-08-09, version 8.9.1*

The game is fun cool skins and gambling
