The United States storefront in every case, so this compares stores and not countries.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0/day in the week to Jul 30 → 0.14/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Que bueno que lo compre en oferta porque me parece que faltaron mas opciones para configurar los botones y no se porque se les ocurrió la idea de incluir solo 9 créditos en el modo Arcade, como si el Arcade hubiera sido así tal cual XD Por esos detalles creo que mejor prefiero jugarlo en emulador.
[h1]Entre erros e acertos...[/h1] Em uma época que a SNK parecia ter menos medo de tentar novas IPs nasceu esse "ouro de tolo" em forma de game, não que seja um jogo ruim, mas é que poderia ter sido muito mais do que foi. Diferente de Samurai Shodown você tem uma experiência mais... "dura" durante o combate... os golpes são mais secos, aparentemente os combos são fixos, existe uma dificuldade em acertar o tempo do Parry e os golpes especiais são meio toscos e difícil de encaixar durante o combate. Talvez eu tenha jogado pouco, apenas 4 horas no momento dessa análise, mas é um tanto frustrante tentar combar e encaixar (super) especiais quando é tudo tão travado. O game é bonito, tendo em vista o ano de lançamento (1997) é perceptível o carinho que os desenvolvedores tiveram ao criar animações principalmente para os cenários que são realmente bonitos e parecem vivos, tão bom quanto em KoF da época e algumas vezes até melhor, um exemplo é um dos cenários coberto por neve onde você pode ver o vapor da respiração saindo da boca dos personagens ou os pássaros pousando e andando na praça em outro cenário. A estória é padrão SNK: basicamente inexistente, assim como os diálogos m3rd4s que na maioria das vezes parecem sem sentindo, talvez por não ter um contexto ou sei lá... A dificuldade segue o padrão SNK também, provavelmente foi feito para arrancar cada moeda do seu bolço nos Arcades, é basicamente insano o quão letal o CPU é contra você nas dificuldades mais altas. Fora a jogabilidade um tanto lenta e travada ainda tem o problema da falta de uma lista de comandos, veja bem em KoF'97 você tem acesso à lista de comando, tem muito mais personagens e o game é muito mais rápido e fluido, não tem desculpas para não ter uma lista de comandos nesse game mesmo porque ambos são da mesma empresa... Fora isso tudo, preciso dizer que esse game (muito mais que Samurai Shodown) me traz uma sensação de estar jogando uma versão de Ninja Scroll (quem sabe sabe) com os personagens e a forma como o combate se desenvolve. O game vale a pena em uma promoção (de vez em quando ta por 85% de desconto), você vai ter um game diferente, em termos, que como eu disse tem erros e acertos, mas é meio que o padrão SNK de sempre, você vai ter uma replayabilidade (essa palavra existe?) no caso de querer terminar as conquistas, principalmente o de Survival.

90年代に格ゲーにハマっていた人間です。 当時はスト2・餓狼・龍虎・KOF・サムスピ・ワーヒーなどをプレイしていましたが 月華の剣士はタイトルこそ知っていましたがプレイせず。 ただセールで147円になってたので購入。 今回初めてプレイしましたが面白いですね。 懐かしの2Dドット絵もいいですし、操作も比較的シンプルでとっつきやすいです。 Xboxコントローラーの十字キーだとなかなか必殺技コマンドが入らず苦戦しますけどw ただ難易度最低にすれば強切り連発してるだけでもそれなりに勝てるので ライトな感覚でプレイできます。 147円という特価で買ったので「最悪つまらなくてもいいや」くらいの気持ちで 買ったのですが1時間プレイしただけで十分元はとれた気分です。

Por alguna razón DOTEMU con estos ports de juegos clásicos para Steam son una basura, en su mayoría sino todas presentan fallas en pantalla completa y botones para el segundo jugador, el juego es increíble, el 2 corre excelente pero los que editaron esta versión lo echaron a perder.
原汁原味的卡顿感,难度还是太低了,建议官方加强下难度等级。我一般打完这个就会去旁边的机器打忍者棒球了,麻烦把忍者棒球也上架一下steam,谢谢。
This game is incredible! I can't judge how good or bad the port is since I never played it on og arcade but I must say its very playable and experienced worse from by far newer titles. Even online play is at least regionwise fine so far. The only thing that bothered me at times was the game crashing. The game itself is a basic fighter with a small but rich in variety roster. Every char feels, plays and looks completely different. You have a 4 button based layout with 2 weapon attacks, a kick and a parry, all kinda nice balanced and very fun to play. It's deeper then it might sound in the first place. There are also flashy specials and some funny japanese snk stuff. The most important thing to point out here is the atmosphere and the style. It has that drunken master vibe to it wich I absolutely adore! I didnt play anything else like this. Maybe samurai shodown, but even that one differs alot from this game here. Most of all in its artstyle! The content is not that packed but for 10 or the 2 or 3 bucks on discount you cant do no wrong at all here! Big recommend for fg fans 08/10
This game its much better than Garou Mark of the Wolves
This is a fighting game classic that I never got to play, but always wanted to. Now I have and I was pretty happy with it. While it's not my favorite SNK fighting franchise, it does carry the quality of the others, and had I had as much time playing this one in the past, it might have ranked as high for me as Fatal Fury and Art of Fighting. And who knows, now that I own it, it might reach those heights for me over time.
El port no es malo, pero si deja un poco que desear: las opciones para cambiar los controles son limitadas, no puedes incrementar el numero de créditos en el modo árcade y a veces falla si esta a pantalla completa. La traducción es horrible, pero eso es del juego, no de este port en especifico. Según las otras reseñas si tienes una computadora potente el juego te va lento, pero si tu equipo es regular (como yo) entonces no deberías tener problemas. No comprendo porque un juego viejo actúa de esta manera, pero que sabre yo, no soy desarrollador de videojuegos. Esta entretenido, si lo agarras de oferta vale la pena, pero no esperes nada del multijugador, es un lugar vació.
