Skullgirls puts players in control of fierce female warriors in an extraordinary Dark Deco world. Fighters battle it out for control of a mysterious artifact known as the Skull Heart, which has the power to grant the victor's wishes. Those judged impure are transformed into the fearful instrument of their twisted wish - a pale and lovely tempest, a beautiful nightmare - the Skullgirl! The team is led by renowned fighting game champion Mike "Mike Z" Zaimont and artist Alex "o_8" Ahad, whose work has been featured in many publications, including Lava Punch and Girls of Gaming.
