\"\"<\/a>The King of Fighters is a long running one-on-one 2-D fighting game series featuring characters from SNK\u2019s other brawlers like Fatal Fury, Art of Fighting, and more!\u00a0 And now there is a new game with The King of Fighters ALL STAR.\u00a0 But surprise surprise!\u00a0 It\u2019s not a fighting game, but a 2-D side scrolling beat \u2018em up!\u00a0 You\u2019d think that kind of game wouldn\u2019t translate well to mobile devices, but it actually works really well and I\u2019ve had a lot of fun with it.\u00a0 It\u2019s available free-to-play to download on mobile devices, but reviewed on iPad here.<\/p>\n

The story in this one is set up into chapters, each featuring a game in the King of Fighters series, starting with KOF \u201994.\u00a0 You wake up with no memory but you can take on the appearance and fighting abilities of KOF characters.\u00a0 A friendly young woman helps you out and guides you around as you fight baddies out to get you, and there are people hidden in the background who say you\u2019re some kind of bug in a program.\u00a0 And\u2026uh, I kind of got disinterested in the story after that.\u00a0 But at least the gameplay is good!\u00a0 Trust me.<\/p>\n

The stages are short and fit perfectly for quick mobile gaming.\u00a0 You move around by dragging your thumb on the left bottom corner of the screen.\u00a0 The right side of the screen has buttons for your attacks, dodges, and blocks.\u00a0 As you play, you\u2019ll get materials to level up your characters stats, and there is also a skill tree where you can learn new moves.\u00a0 You can carry three fighters with you into battle and switch between them at any time.\u00a0 Not only can you do the story mode, but there are also other stages, events, and bonuses to help level up your characters.\u00a0 You can get all sorts of characters from the King of Fighters series, like Terry Bogard, Mai Shiranui, Leona Heidern, and many more!\u00a0 Some even wear special outfits.\u00a0 I unlocked a version of Yuri in a baseball uniform who is absolutely adorable.<\/p>\n

For a free-to-play game, I haven\u2019t run across much of the things in those kind of games that I don\u2019t like.\u00a0 Yeah you do have a lot of items to use to level up your characters, and it\u2019s a bit confusing at first.\u00a0 But I haven\u2019t run into a wall yet where I have to pay to level up my fighters high enough to keep playing, and I can keep going as long as I like.\u00a0 While I think this kind of game would be even more fun on a console, I\u2019ve been pleasantly surprised on how much I\u2019ve enjoyed this one.\u00a0 Sure it\u2019s a bit repetitive, but if you\u2019re a fan of SNK fighters and 2-D beat \u2018em ups, you\u2019ll want to download this one.<\/p>\n

Kid Factor:<\/strong><\/p>\n

You do punch and kick bad guys, but they just fall over and disappear with an \u2018argh!\u2019 when defeated.\u00a0 Some of the female characters, like Mai, wear revealing and suggestive outfits.\u00a0 Reading skill is needed for the text, and parental supervision is recommended for the in-game purchases.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
