Can I Run Skullgirls 2nd Encore?

Hidden Variable Studios released Skullgirls 2nd Encore in 2013. It is an action indie game, published by Autumn Games. The game supports a single player campaign and competitive multiplayer. Two players can share one screen on a single machine, which is rare enough now to be worth noting. With more than 29 thousand player reviews on Steam, its behaviour on real hardware is well documented. Steam lists support for 7 languages. It is old enough that no current GPU generation existed when it shipped, so modern hardware tends to be far past what it can use. It handles controllers properly rather than leaving the player to bind buttons by hand. There are 45 achievements to chase. Metacritic places it at 83. Saves sync through Steam Cloud, so moving between machines does not cost progress. It is not Windows only, with macOS and Linux covered too.
