![]() Unfortunately, the lack of content and archaic menus and systems hold it back from being a must-play game. It is one of the best-looking fighting games in a while. King of Fighter’s combat is flashy, fast, and responsive. It’s a shame because finding the perfect team combination and playing with different characters is an area where King of Fighters can truly shine. The fact that King of Fighters XV hides choosing different characters behind all these menus makes me almost not want to try different characters online. You should be able to choose characters before matches, or at the very least be able to go back to the online mode menu. In online mode, in order to choose a new team after a match, you have to go all the way back to the main menu. To do this task, you have to go inside a menu, inside of the online mode. It took me about 5 minutes just to figure out how to choose characters for online matches. For starters, choosing your own team is super tedious. However, the online mode, in my opinion, is the one that needs the most work. I never felt like there was a delay between my combo inputs and my character’s response. ![]() I was able to play some online matches during my review and the network connection was great. All these modes are pretty much the same and unless you are wanting to play this game on a competitive level, there’s really not much here for you to try. Here is where my biggest problem with King of Fighters XV lies. If you decided to just skip the story mode you really wouldn’t be missing much. Now, I know fighting games tend to have short story modes, but this one just felt way too short for my liking. The story mode can be done in less than an hour and the story is really not that great. Now, this may sound like a lot but it’s not. King of Fighters XV features a story mode, a versus mode, online mode, and training mode. I am not a big fan of this game mechanic, but there is no way to change this, at least not yet. Then it’s time to bring the next fighter. ![]() ![]() If you try 3 v 3, this will not be like your Marvel VS Capcom, or Dragon Ball Fighters, instead of you swapping characters in and out you will swap out characters after your character’s life has been depleted. In King of Fighters XV, you have two options to options to test your combat skills: 1 v 1 or 3 v 3. With just a couple of button combinations, I was pulling some flashy moves that made me feel like a pro fighter. To some that may be a turn-off, but not for me. One of the things that I noticed during my time with this game, is that combos felt like they were easier to pull. The combat in this game is fast and there is something here for those that are trying to master combos. Fortunately for King of Fighters XV, the art style matches its combat. Stylistically, King of Fighters XV is one of the best fighting games I have tried in the last couple of years. Every stage feels like it’s been pulled from an anime show and all of that is accompanied by an awesome soundtrack. The first thing you will notice in this game is how pretty everything looks. Unfortunately, lack of material and outdated menus hold it back from being one of my favorite fighting games. King of Fighters XV is a really cool fighting game. I enjoyed my time with KOF XV, but I don’t know if I will go back to it without updates. Now, if you play fighting games casually, like me, King of Fighters XV is a harder sell. I will start by saying this, if you are a fan of the fighting genre, King of Fighters XV is a game that you’ll enjoy. I have had the privilege to play this game for the past week, and I am here to tell you if King of Fighters XV is worth your money and time in this already busy month. King of Fighters XV is releasing on the Playstation, Xbox, and PC. In just a couple of days, we will see the return of a beloved franchise, King of Fighters. The game releases for this month just keep on coming.
