I'm stupid for forgetting to ever write a review for this game after all the years. This is not just the most beautiful and detailed looking sprite based fighting game but I'd argue the most visually stunning game ever made. So beautiful in fact, the devs nearly went bankrupt due to the expensive visuals this game has in their characters and backgrounds. Where the fuck is the rollback update SNK?

Aug. 2024

I love this game, but it does not play well on newer hardware. For anybody who has a top end computer or if it's just not running initially AFTER you boot it and it's stuck at a loading screen, you have to find an old hard drive UNDER 1TB of space (Preferably 500GB) and install it there. You may also have to start it in windowed mode by going to the game preferences and typing -w. It will work after those two steps are done and something to keep in mind for other older titles as well. If I didn't love this game so much I would have not recommended it.

- Desperate need of rollback - Great pixel art and backgrounds! - Pretty fast pace - team building - Difficult characters to learn - Ash Crimson's best design imo (best boy) <3 - More people should genuinely play this gem (my first kof) EDIT: For those using windows 11, maybe wait to play this. I have no issues playing this game on windows 10, however, on windows 11 it refuses to run. Let's just hope SNK fixes this one day... It's their prettiest fighting game anyway. A shame there's nothing here for steam users :/ If you're looking for matches join the kofxiii discord.
