Is Skullgirls Mobile worth it?

[Precise Dash]

I feel that the mobile version is the most talked about everywhere, when the name skullgirls is mentioned they usually talk about the mobile version which is apparently a different version than the standard one.

Would it be worth a look considering I'm not into gacha and mobile games in general?

if you like playing SG, I feel like it's worth trying.
It plays very differently, but SG knowledge and skill will help a lot.
Been playing it for a few weeks now and having a blast.
It's also a good way to support SG since it supports the devs.

I'll keep that in mind, although I've never spent money on mobile games in my life, so I won't be supporting them much

Yes, it's a nice mobile game with easy controls and an active community.

Just playing is enough to participate, and also there's ads for rewards, so you can directly support without directly paying

No. It's just like every other gacha game, a horrible grindfest and everything is RNG. Don't get sucked in.

Skullgirls mobile has a surprising amount of skill expression and combos.
I got into Skullgirls from Skullgirls mobile. I'd say that the game is a very fundamentally different experience because it's a PvE focused game rather than a PvP focused game (though the PvP is pretty fun and fairly-ish balanced). I play both of them, but don't think that Skullgirls mobile will make you any less salty than the desktop version.
It's much better than any other mobile games or any gacha games because a lot of the gameplay is skill-based. I've killed teams which are anywhere from 6-15x stronger than mine using naturally bronze units (the most common). I haven't spent a single cent, and I've found it incredibly easy to gather tons of units. (It also NEVER shoves ads in your face).
Overall, I'd recommend.

While skullgirl mobile is a grind fest like any gacha game, just think the grind as tutorial along the way. Skullgirl mobile is deceptively easy with lots of focus on team building rather than mechanical fighting skill.

For example, any standard fighting game you have to learn how to perform special, learn to chain those special into your normal attack, thus creating combos.

But in mobile skull girl, special is just one click, entire normal attack combo is just tap, swipe up and down etc... Rather than complex mechanical and motor skill, it focuses heavily on skill knowledge and punish opponent. Thus making pvp becomes heavy reliance on block, counter attack, anti-grab rather than active. But skullgirl mobile barely has active PvP, you just fight with AI with player's premade team

I hated it and its just another example of how bad fighting games on mobile are to me.
But so long as its whales money help fund the main game getting stuff too then I could care less.
