FATAL FURY: City of the Wolves

Got in a match with the same geese howard every couple hours and we had the most inspirational anime ass battles in history. Chadington your the yujiro to my baki you bullied me into getting good and I have nothing but respect for you. 10/10

I never intended to buy this game. At the time of the beta, I was a dedicated Street Fighter 6 player. I had never played an SNK game before, though I had spent more than a decade playing fighting games. The beta instantly hooked me with its gameplay mechanics. This is one of the few modern fighting games that not only encourages defensive play but actively prioritizes it. If you're a fan of 3rd Strike, this game feels like it was made for you. It’s essentially a modern take on 3rd Strike thanks to its heavy emphasis on defensive mechanics. The game features a defensive mechanic called Just Defend. It isn't really a 3S parry, since you can't cancel it into normal attacks and it doesn't grant frame advantage. However, you can immediately cancel it into specials and supers. There's also Hyper Defense, which is essentially a 1 to 1 of 3rd Strike's Red Parry system. I'm obsessed with the depth of this game. The defensive systems and layers that it creates is an incredibly rewarding experience once you start to become competent. That said, I wouldn't recommend it to someone looking primarily for single-player content. Compared to Street Fighter 6 and honestly many other fighting games, the singleplayer experience is lacking. However, if you enjoy fighting games that reward relatively high execution through defensive mechanics, I highly recommend giving it a try. It's sick. I no longer main Street Fighter 6; this game completely won me over and sparked my interest in SNK titles as a whole. I'm already tempted to check out KoF XIII, and I'd love to see SVC 2 or CVS 3 someday. More than anything, this game has reignited my enthusiasm for modern fighting games.

I would like to begin this review with the fact that, while I'm currently giving this game a positive score, it has glaring cons that must be addressed immediately. CONS - Possibly the single worst base roster choice in the history of fighting game guest characters - Too much advertisement for the scope of the project - No numpad support for keyboard buttons -- previous SNK games on Steam had this! - Classic Terry costume still isn't purchasable outside of the pre-order - Could be a bit more balanced - Brand new characters to the SNK multiverse are limited to a couple students of other characters and guests - Billy Kane looks like a Melty Blood character, and I don't mean in the good way NEUTRAL/ REQUESTS ~ Season 1 is no longer free, but it took them a while to make that so. This also did not affect me. ~ EOST isn't particularly interesting ~ Ability to change individual character voices would be nice. English Krauser vs Japanese rest of the roster is classic ~ I'd love a tutorial on how to participate in lane switching battles, please ~ I'm in no hurry but I'd love to see Freeman added to the roster PROS + Easier controls than the average KOF game + Neat way of implementing EX moves + Decently optimized: runs pretty smoothly on my computer with 7 year old parts, and also doesn't take up nearly as much hard drive space as the competition + Tighter, more plentiful DLC character season schedule than the competition + Great artstyle. It's not the fanciest in the business, but I've been looking at SNK's 3D work since KOF XIV and it's definitely improved significantly since then. The backgrounds have a certain edge to them. + Many character designs have been tweaked for the better. + Rollback 8/10. I recommend waiting for a sale and using a service such as G2A for reasons I would rather not discuss.

Genuinely one of the best fighting games of the Modern era. SNK games have always been hard to get into, and have always been for the more hardcore fighting game audience. I feel like this blends in a good balance of Modern Mechanics where combos and input buffer are the most forgiving it's ever been in a SNK Games, and that SNK goodness where there's that difficulty of execution of combos, and having a feel of the overall mechanics. Plus the amount of content this game is pushing out is insane with collabs, and the amount of characters they're releasing, especially with season 2 coming out with a Character a month. But since this is SNK, this series is just gonna be pretty niche, so it'll never get the amount of recognition it truly deserves.

I was really looking forward to this game. I liked the original Mark of the wolves. But this feels like a poor man’s street fighter 6. It came out over a year later yet the interface, UI and style makes it seem like a game from 2010. It is not friendly to the non-hardcore fighting game player while adding random characters like a DJ and a football player that have no place in this franchise. What exactly is it trying to achieve? Who is it for? It will always have a place within a niece but even then, you still can’t get match making right? It’s in-excusable! No wonder the sales are abysmal. You had a huge funder in MBS, all you had to do was to get the gameplay right. And now with Kenshiro you have a huge IP to attract people. Please dont let us down again.

The combat feels great and every match is exciting once you get used to the mechanics. The REV system adds some interesting decisions without making things too complicated. It's a strong comeback for Fatal Fury, and I've been having a lot of fun with it.

this game is surprisingly cheap in this economy and I quite enjoy the fact that my goat geese is in the game. Please buy this. Kenshiro is cool, the dlc is dirt cheap compared to bummy guilty gear and bummy street fighter. I wish I could play as terry

Fun game, fun characters, a lot of people angry at guest characters for zero good reason. Play it.

Cool visuals, updated gameplay, a balanced and varied roster...what else can You ask for? And for this price? It's a no brainer. If You are a fighting Game fan, this is for you

The game is good. But if youre someone like me who wants to play the arcade mode and play against bots, dont even try this game out. The bots just completely input reads everything you do, its impossible to get past certain arcade levels. Im not amazing at fighting games or anything and I am aware that alot of games have input readings, but this one was just criminal with the way it reads when youre blocking and when youre about to do a super, they know what super youre inputing before it even shows up in the game. Get it for online or for friends. Not singleplayer.
