About

Blend the depth of a classic 2D fighter with robust RPG progression in this visually stunning mobile hit. Master strategic tap-and-swipe combat while collecting unique characters to thwart the mysterious Skullgirl in a dark, jazz-age world.

Story

Set in the Canopy Kingdom, players hunt for the Skull Heart—an artifact that grants wishes but turns impure souls into the destructive Skullgirl. The narrative unfolds through stylish vignettes exploring the backstories of a diverse cast within the Art Deco-inspired city of New Meridian.

Gameplay

Designed specifically for touchscreens, the combat utilizes intuitive taps and swipes for combos while retaining fighting game depth like blocks, throws, and juggles. Players build teams of up to three fighters, utilizing a ratio system for balance, tagging in allies for assists, and unleashing cinematic Blockbuster moves.
