I played this game with great pleasure, focusing on played! Since This game has not yet been updated for iOS 11 It is now to dust in my app box 😡

One of the best king of fighters games finally adapted for tablets as well. It's just pretty hard. You can choose between the difficulty 1-8, but a real difference does not make it, in my opinion. From fight 4 or 5 becomes bock-heavy. It should just be adjusted the difficulty otherwise it is perfect.

Yes Neo Geo games are magical. Yes, we want them on the iPhone. Yes we are ready to pay again for this "recycling". But if I pay it is to have the minimum: a game compatible gamepad, a multi mode online, an adaptation to the screen sizes. For quality I am ready to pay 10 EUR the game, for a sloppy Portage well no, I go back on my emulator...

I put 2 stars for the nostalgia of the arcade of my adolescence. Otherwise the difficulty is horrible!! It's already not easy with a touch pad, but in addition there is no training mode!! At the LVL 1 of difficulty the AI becomes unbeatable from the 3rd fight, the blows come out hard, the button SP is very badly placed, the ergonomics is far behind the masterpiece that is KoF 2012.... What a disappointment!!

I find that the game is very successful overall. The arcade mode is the same as on MVS and neo-geo. I play with 6 buttons without the SP button and I can do the combos very well. The touch stick executes the manips very well. In addition, there is no need to make the codes on the character selection screen since the Orochi team already appears as well as Leona and Iori in Orochi mode. It's a pleasure to find a game that at the time was in the arcade.
