The game is super fun, brings back so many childhood memories. Each fight is complex than the last, all the way through to Orochi. I love the game!!

I like it , it's a good game but you can't pass level 3 when your playing, they make the character SUPER over powerd you can't even pass it because you can't use your powers, the other characters can stop your powers , dont spend your 3 dollars in this game ,go spend it on metal slug 1 made by snk that's their only good game

The nice thing about this game is because it's a 100% arcade conversion, pretty cool. But the downside is the a.i. is incredibly difficult, thus making it impossible to win even for a match.

I am happy with the updates but not even with the SP button can't make all the special moves for some of the characters for example Leona she had a lot of special moves that you'd be able to do in an Arcada machine but for the SP you can only make 2 PLEASE PLEASE APP MAKERS REALIZE WE ARE PLAYING ON A SMARTPHONE NOT A AN ARCADE MACHINE!!!

Not bad, not perfect... personally I prefer playing fighting games using an actual gamepad/arcade stick. I suck ass at using touch screens..lol BUT if you're a KOF fan, its definitely worth the purchase.

Literally doesn't work! Either take down the app or update it to work with modern devices and firmware. It was trash even prior to this though since this was a raw arcade port and didn't even include practice mode.

Great game just hard to play with touch screen. Definitely need a controller to play. Game is very challenging even on the easiest level.

I'm taking one star. I love this game, but the AI is insanely hard to beat, not to mention that the super moves are SO hard to execute. I'm just stuck doing aerial punches with Mai and Athena. Fighters like Kensou and Kyo are cheating maniacs that can take my whole team down even on the very first match. I can't even get to Orochi without dying at least 10 times. I would just want the commands/super moves to be easier to execute.

It's rather good and I love SNK but wouldn't a game like the "Real Bout" series be way more perfect for mobile? Great characters, an amazing and simple setup for auto-combinations that would work perfectly for android screen tapping! Give us some love SNK!!! REAL BOUT FATAL FURY!!!! ....and maybe some "World Heroes" while your at it 😁😍

Don't feel like giving 2 Stars because it's my favourite fighting game, but any CPU Character you come up against in any difficulty Level, even if it was set in Level 1, the CPU boasts extemely powerful Combos (Especially the Girl Characters and Soldier types). Also the CPU Characters keep guarding no matter what, until their guard is broken, now by this time you are so tired that you'll be KO'ed even with simple moves and there should be Training Mode. Lastly, The bluetooth mode needs fixing.

I adore KOF 97 as well as 98. I've been watching the older kids play fighting games since art of fighting invthe arcades but I truly started to understand and play KOF when 97 released. Touch controls need a lot of work especially with response. Why the game suddenly stopped working with Android 11 no one knows and currently the game is unplayable till they update for newer handsets. This is a massive letdown!

It's a great port, it's all original, but things could be improved for the player if the game wasn't as difficult (the AI always reacts with the exact counter to what you've just done, and if you make an input mistake then you just let yourself open and the opponent will destroy half of your life bar for that mistake). Also I think there should be something done about the lag that fire attacks cause the game to have. Using many character's attacks slow the game down a lot...

Bad Controls! The down SP button doesn't even work which need a fix. I can't even get past the 4th stage on difficulty one because the enemy know when your gonna attack, jump, crouch, or anything please fix.The bot are so repetitive and fix the grab mechanics cause I keep grabbing some times and the for some reason the grab doesn't work and then the enemy grabs me when I hit them first. Also buy KOF 98 it better controls and easy to play.Last but not least please allow us to use both all desperation move because I hate that I have to actually use the joystick just to do one move and mess up just basically do the same like KOF 98. Add Orchi Plz.

Update: doesn't work on Android 11. Worthless as is. seems to be a perfect port of this neogeo game. awesome sounds awesome graphics easy controls very smooth animation. I do recommend an external controller for this game because there are so many awesome moves to pull off and some move are tricky to pull off on command with the touch controls

DO NOT BUY! READ FIRST!! I love KOF but this app version will leave you frustrated. Once you get past level 3 the game gets extremely hard to the point that you can't do any damage, you won't be able to land any hits and even if you block it'll still hit you. Every combo or special move will be interrupted. Changing the difficulty on the main page makes no difference. It's not worth it, trust me

As a KOF fan, it is really good. Controls are tight and feels really nice. However, the game port is not like a Home version but rather the actual arcade port. It is nice owning something like that on the go, but the AI level cannot be toggled as it is programmed to get harder over level. The lack of training is unfair for newcomers and due to the AI getting harder, it forces them to replay the first stage over and over again just to get better on it. Please put online since it begs for online.
