Deepest fighting game currently available, Massive roster, Solid online play
One button combo is a poor attempt at accessibility, Not the prettiest of fighting games
There's a robust Training mode, allowing you to tweak every aspect of combat in order to practice specific techniques, and a challenge mode that very quickly goes from basic combos to bolt-hard multi-part ones that require serious finger gymnastics.Despit...

King of Fighters XIV doesn't lose anything in the shift away from hand-drawn 2D sprites to more modern 3D animation. It's as frenetic and colourful as ever, even with the bold new art style, and fights are just as fast-paced as they used to be. Series fan...

Abstract: It's been a heck of a year for video games. Virtual-reality titles finally went mainstream, indies made as big a splash as their AAA counterparts, and the first-person-shooter genre became more diverse and refreshing than ever. We played games that twiste...
Despite its bad first impression, The King of Fighters XIV is surprisingly good. It isn't quite a home run, but it is a worthy entry in the storied series. The gameplay is fast and fluid with a great presentation, even if the graphics are still lacking in...

Unimpressive graphics, Hit-or-miss ranked online play
SNK's first mainline 3D King of Fighters title boasts an impressive roster, technical gameplay, and enough content to keep you brawling for a very long time...

A fresh direction for the series that acknowledges the characters that made it what it is, while adding enough new characters to make this entry worth playing...
