The description of ACA NEOGEO THE KING OF FIGHTERS '96 - Play With New Friends
Fight As One Of Twenty-Seven Characters. Punch, Kick, And Dodge.ACA NEOGEO THE KING OF FIGHTERS '96 is a recreation of an arcade fighting game of the same name. It is part of a larger series of fighting games, THE KING OF FIGHTERS, with a consistent castle, style, and type of gameplay.A Still-Warm ThroneDespite its age, THE KING OF FIGHTERS '96 introduces things like different jumping speeds and single-frame evasion that modern fighters often take for granted, making it very playable even by today's standards, and putting it in a sweet spot of having just enough mechanics to satisfy a fighting game buff. Although the game is well-designed, including how the characters play, it bears noting that the graphics, despite their stylistic approach, have aged poorly, and some of the character designs try just a bit too hard. Notably, the game offers online multiplayer, though it's old enough that finding players of entry-level skill can be difficult. If you can find someone who's of a similar skill level to you, though, it makes for a good game experience.Can You Become The King?Overall, if you've played the original KoF '96, you owe it to yourself to play this game. If you haven't, and you're looking for a simple online fighter to play, this one works.
