What drives the score
How to read this
Every input gets a grade, S to D, read from the buyer's side. The score is multiplicative, so an input only counts as raising when it sits near the top of its own scale. Anything with real room left is holding the score back, because that room is the gap to 100. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. The exact weights stay secret.
The value story
It has never been cheaper than $2.24. That was June 2015. Its cuts run 70 percent off as a rule. There have been 84 in the 13 years tracked, about 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 3 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 6 weeks.
Value puts it in the top 12 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 96 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 93 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Lethal League ($13.99, scores 75) beats it on value, while it beats Rivals of Aether II ($14.99, scores 45).
Of the 799 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 19 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written April 2024 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 77 percent of the 3,396 reviews written there were positive, against 88 percent overall, and those are 15 percent of everything written about it.
3.2 hours to finish it, 68 to exhaust it. The completionist tail is 21 times the campaign.

What players say
It has soul that's the best way i can describe it, i haven't actually enjoyed a fighting game like this in a while, i saw this game in 2012 when it came out, i was just 12 years old i'd only ever known a wii, when i got a 360 i thought finally i'll be able to play skullgirls, , but i could only play the demo because my parents saw paying for something like this was a scam that'd steal there credit card numbers, so i...
This game is better than I expected, even better than the Mobile game! The move sets, the combos, the story, EVERYTHING! Sure, some combos are trickier than others, but it's so much fun to pull them off, even if I'm bad at it and almost jumping around. Speaking of, While the Mobile game is super fun and super easy to understand, it gets pretty boring after awhile with the same characters and movesets. I want NEW...
A pretty good fighting game The art and worldbuilding is amazing the rosters a little small but each characters gameplay feels unique and not like other characters Movesets

Skullgirls 2nd Encore scores 51/100 on the BANG Score (fair value). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/245170/skullgirls-2nd-encoreThe BANG Score is one number for value, 0 to 100: price against how it reviews and how long it was built to be. It answers the money question and stops there; whether the game is for you is still your call.
Reviews set the ceiling and price moves you inside it, so a cheap game that reviews badly cannot climb. Ratings from few reviewers are shrunk toward the middle, so 100 percent from nine people does not outrank 96 percent from ninety thousand. Length comes from HowLongToBeat where it can be matched, measured against a per-genre floor so a five-hour narrative game is judged against other narrative games rather than against a sixty-hour RPG. Where no verified length exists the score says so and carries a dock, because the biggest input is then a guess. The full method, including where it is weak → Steam reviews as of Sep 12, price as of Sep 24.
