As a somewhat casual player, I've always been intimidated by the 3-fighter teams. However, KoF XIII sucked me in with its gorgeous pixel art and I realised I'd let my fears get in the way of experiencing an amazing fighting game. This series has such a distinct identity that sets it apart from other fighters, and KoF XV is no exception. The graphics aren't cutting-edge, but they have such flair and impact that you stop caring very quickly. And the sounds are super exaggerated and crunchy, it's like being in a Hong Kong action film from the '80s which is no bad thing! It's got a great cast of characters that's been built up over many years, and while the story was somewhat confusing and bland for me (as someone not familiar with the expanded lore), you really get a sense of their personalities in the endings. Not a huge selection in terms of single-player modes, but story/arcade mode is fine and I really like the boss challenges they added (even though I have yet to beat one!). What I'm getting at is: Please give KoF a try. It's generally overlooked in the genre and I have no idea why. Who knows, you might just like it...

Game is fun as hell even if I suck at it but DLC right now makes no sense 15.99 for Team South Town 15.99 For Team Garou 15.99 for Team Pass 1 (Includes Team South Town and Team Garou) Aside from DLC Pricing making no sense I don't really have many issues aside from the Menu looking boring. I Suggest getting the Ultimate Edition at this point because it has all DLC and Sales are pretty decent. (Plus mod support)

suddenly dwelling on just how good kofxv is, now that it's officially complete—how exceptionally good the new characters are; how well it treats long-absent returning characters; how they handled a certain mr krohnen mcdougall; how full even the base package is (including that wildly generous jukebox mode). it's like they smooshed up the best parts of the nests games and kofxi, then just ran with that as the base dna, to craft one of the most solid and fun and *interesting* games in the series. i wish it got another year of support, but i get that this wasn't planned like a modern service fighter. like, the first year of dlc was just the team finishing what they intended for launch before covid slowed everything down. the second, shorter year was them shrugging and saying, "okay i guess we can expand things a little more if you want it so much—but we've got other projects to work on now." they had a finite plan, they successfully finished the game they wanted to make, then when people kept asking they tacked on a few extra bits that went beyond their intentions. it's kind of a baldur's gate iii situation; they nailed the landing, then dusted off and strolled to the next adventure. keeping in mind how passionately weird i am about kof2k1, a game basically no one else likes, and the nests era generally, which most people are at least a bit dubious about, xv is up there for me with '99, 2k1 and xi—and easily has the best soundtrack since 2000, excepting xi. it feels so joyous. it could easily serve as a fitting grand finale, if kof were to end here. everything about it feels climactic, like the previous fourteen games were circuitously building to this moment, setting up the pieces that xv would put into play—everyone forced to work together, against a shared threat. it's also just such a good sequel to xiv, building off everything that made xiv weird and different and fun and fascinating—all the new story and character and thematic elements, the tone of the thing, the new soundtrack direction—while putting in the hard work to perfect how it looks and plays. i'm having one of my trademark media-swoon moments here; discrete works of human expression, that i can study and ponder for all their intricacies, mean so much to me. what i look for in a video game is what i look for in any human endeavor—call it art, call it craftwork, call it communication, call it life. snk's devs have always had an off-kilter scrappy anarchic underdog too-sincere-to-survive quality that has kept this neurodivergent queer chick actively rooting for them for over half her life, and there is much i can say about most of their major releases of the past 40 years. kofxv embodies that. it's not as full-featured and progressive and galaxy-brained as street fighter 6, guilty gear strive, or even tekken 8—most of which postdate kofxv, but in a tangible and electric and emotionally nourishing way, xv is the most kof that kof has been. it gives me that eyewatering shiver of the best media. already just three years after release, fighting games have advanced so much that kofxv can feel a little dated—if that's a thing one cares about. and right now its ultimate edition, the final complete package, is sixty bucks, which i wouldn't pay for any video game. sales happen, though—so wishlist it. keep checking back. if you have never played an snk fighter... well, i'm guessing city of the wolves would be the best entry point. it's only weeks away as i write this. but kofxv will unlock a whole world for you, which if you choose to engage on its level can feed your soul the rest of your life. ... i like the game.

Would love if more people played for newer people like me. This game is the most fun competitive fighting game I've played, but everyone I play is a dark lord superstar. I very rarely run into someone around the same skill level as me unfortunately.

SUPPORT SNK! I started fighting games with Strive, and already doing combos, movement, the systems, they just work so well! I'm extremely excited for COTW and I hope SNK gets to become a cemented part of the big 3 inshallah
