« Ignore the goddawful executive decisions like stupid guest characters and AI trailers, the devs worked hard on this game and it's incredible fun »👍 anonymous review · Jan 2026 · 18 h played1611« Despite stupid marketing decisions, 2 celebrity guest characters, Saudi Arabi money, AI trailer, and price change that is anti-consumer, this game is still fun. But common SNK, stop shooting yourself in a foot »👍 anonymous review · Jan 2026 · 32 h played221« best current fighting game tbqh. it's a shame so many are (understandably) turned away by problems that aren't SNK's fault. »👍 anonymous review · Dec 2025 · 25 h played1« I enjoy playing the game offline / story / arcade mode. I'm happy Season one DLC is FREE. I'm happy with the character roster. It's not as fun as King of Fighters XV, but it's still fun. I find it worth ~$40. »👍 anonymous review · Aug 2025 · 13 h played2« This the best fighting game out,along with alot of content. »👍 anonymous review · Jan 2026 · 188 h played1« Melhor jogo de luta do ano. Se não ganhar, é pilantragem. Até porque só tem esse e o outro é aquela patifaria do MK Kollection, que saiu quebrado e inacabado, e outras coletâneas boas como as da Capcom, mas que também são relançamentos. »👍 anonymous review · Nov 2025 · 83 h played11
« Sick game, but using AI slop to announce Year 2 Pass is a big no. »👎 anonymous review · Jan 2026 · 7 h played4331« if you bought the game at launch you get the privilege of having to pay 20 euro extra for season 2 compared to first-time buyers, thanks guys. it also never goes on sale so it feels extremely targeted at early adopters. »👎 anonymous review · Jan 2026 · 22 h played1« If every time I press a single buton the CPU gets a counter hit literaly everytime, you could hide the button reading a little better guys. It's not the 90's anymore you don't need my quaters that bad... »👎 anonymous review · Jul 2026 · 3 h played311« on one hand, the game is sick as hell on the other hand, the game is dead as hell i think i might have wasted 60 dollars i dont think i'll be booting up this game again any time soon :( »👎 anonymous review · Sep 2025 · 25 h played11« The online of this game is basically dead. Only the hardcore gamer are active. Not at all for casual player as the control and mechanic are complexe and the smart control is really bad . The story mod is only artwork with voice over...... »👎 anonymous review · Jun 2026 · 13 h played« I ended up spending more time making color edits than playing the actual game. The only reason I'm devoid of any type of shame is because I got this on sale. Game's great though »👍 anonymous review · Dec 2025 · 24 h played1
