Jan. 2025

Recommended. 8/10* One of the best fighting game franchises, gorgeous pixel art, absolutely cool character design, very good music, the controls and animations are top of the top, im not rating it higher cause this specific steam version have a problem with full screen the game crashes, already dig in the bottom of the internet for answers but the only solution is to never change the video setting to full screen, and being the max resolution around 900p in window mode, it sucks to play it in a small window, be aware, it is better to just emulate it.

Jan. 2025

All The King of Fighters games are all fun pick ups that go on sale all the time. Games released in the series after KOF '97 are better. However, if your a fan of the series, and want to get the achievements, grab it when its on sale. You'll be happy you did.

Dec. 2024

A great port, but the slowdown when fire sparks appear is still there, but I guess that would be modifiying the game too much? otherwise, it's a modest, but generally well excecuted, the controls being universial to both gameplay and menus is a bit annoying, but it's neither here nor there.

Oct. 2024

Good game for its time have most of them on PS1 and PS2 from back then. Fun if you like classic fighting games. The best part is with Steam you are not trapped behind a pay wall like you are now a days with Sony,Nintendo,Xbox to play online with random people or friends.

Sept. 2024

A classic, polished SNK fighting game residing at the peak of the first King of fighters story line. As the final canon entry to the Orochi Saga you get a lot of conclusions to character arcs that really hit you in the emotions. This make for a great finale to that era and has you excited for the next. The mechanics, moves and features are at their penacle surpassed only by 98. But with 98 being a dream match and 97 having such a dramatic and cinematic feel make sure you don't miss out on this excellent piece of SNK and KOF history.
