Here, you get to team up with legendary fighters like Iori Yagami, Kyo Kusanagi, Mai Shiranui, Ukyo Tachibana, Nakoruru, and over 50 others to form your dream team. I also appreciate how the game focuses on fair progression through its lossless inheritance and conscientious development, ensuring every fighter of yours reaches top-level.

Players can engage in 1v1 battles and explore interactive zones

What really caught my attention is the way it pays tribute to classic arcade battles with 1v1 combat. Thanks to this, we can pull powerful punches, furious attacks, and flashy ultimate moves that bring back the thrill of old-school fighting titles.

The dev also promises smooth gameplay and visually striking combos, which I’m definitely waiting to experience. All in all, the game genuinely looks fun to me, especially after THE KOF AFK. Built on the Unity Engine, it offers a detailed 3D fighting city where classic locations act like interactive battle zones.
