❤ Gameplay Overview

The game features the classic 3-on-3 team battle system that the King of Fighters series is known for. Players select a team of three fighters and engage in fast-paced, technical battles. The roster boasts 58 characters, including both returning favorites and new challengers.

❤ Accessible Yet Depth

The game introduces a "RUSH" feature that allows even novice players to perform flashy combos by simply mashing the light punch button. This makes the game more accessible for beginners. At the same time, veteran players can still execute complex inputs and link special moves into devastating combos. The addition of "Climax Cancel" allows players to seamlessly transition from super moves into even more powerful Climax Super Special Moves.

❤ Balanced Roster

The character roster is generally well-balanced, with no single character dominating the meta. This allows for a diverse range of viable team compositions and playstyles. The wide variety of character archetypes and movesets ensures that there is something for everyone to enjoy.

❤ Improved Mechanics

The game features a more streamlined and accessible combat system compared to previous entries. The removal of the Hyperdrive Gauge from KOF XIII and the simplification of certain mechanics make the game more welcoming to newcomers. At the same time, the core of the KOF experience - the quick pace, emphasis on mobility, and focus on character mastery - remains intact.

❤ Online Integration

The game features solid online functionality, including a "PARTY BATTLE" mode that allows up to 6 players to compete in team battles. The netcode has been praised for providing a smooth online experience, with minimal input lag even when playing against opponents across the globe.
