THE KING OF FIGHTERS XIV finally hits STEAM! KOF XIV is back with its classic 2D gameplay and "3-on-3 TEAM BATTLE" game system but evolved to 3D! 58 charismatic fighters are about to clash in this new chapter of KOF!
Developed by SNK CORPORATION, Abstraction Games · Published by SNK CORPORATION
THE KING OF FIGHTERS XIV begins a new story arc in the series. Players choose a team of three fighters from a roster of 58, combining returning characters and newcomers to face rival teams.
Combat centers on arcade-style one-on-one bouts within those team battles, with character-specific moves and combos. The Rush feature lets beginners trigger combos with repeated light punches, while Climax Cancels let players link a Super Special Move into a Climax Super Special Move.
Story, versus, online Party Battle, training, and mission modes offer different ways to play. Party Battle supports up to six players, three on each team; a gallery also contains unlockable extras.
Players who enjoy the game often praise its team-based fighting, combo play, and broad roster of familiar and new characters. Some also call out the soundtrack and Rush combos as appealing, including for newer players. Others find the 3D presentation rough, report trouble finding online opponents, or criticize the story and feel of the controls; opinions on the gameplay and visuals vary.
KOF XIV is the newest entry in the acclaimed THE KING OF FIGHTERS series of fighting games. Lead by veteran creator and FATAL FURY creator Yasuyuki Oda, KOF XIV takes the iconic gameplay that the series is known for while implementing new 3D visuals, a first for a mainline entry in the series!
