Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves is the triumphant return of the great snk franchise

It took a while, but the fatal fury has finally returned and with style

After a break of almost three decades, Fatal Fury, one of the most loved franchises of Snk, returns with the big city of the wolves, with new characters and a renewed gameplay.

Direct continuation of dear Garou: Mark of the Wolves, 1999, the new game presents unpublished mechanics and the new Rev It Up system, with the promise of all this to increase the intensity of the battles.

The new gameplay makes the fighting more dynamic and unpredictable

After spending the last few days to play Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves, I say that I loved the new gameplay, which has the Arcade style, aimed at those who love the classic way of enjoying combat games, giving you greater control over the actions of the fighter and also the practical style, which is for Noviri players and no experience with combat games to perform special attacks and easily.

The highlight, however, is the REV system, which has skills that offer offensive options from the beginning of the struggle. You can use the attacks of rpm with the selective bar (SPG) Active Potes Gear (SPG), but you must be careful not to overwhelm the laps meter, as this makes it unable to perform certain actions until it cools down.

For this reason, this system is a knife of two on board, because although it allows you to perform powerful blows that combine attacks and defense in a unique movement, it makes your character vulnerable if used often. Although it makes a lot of difference in the struggle, it is something that should be used correctly, otherwise you will become an easy prey for the opponent.

Speaking more about the SPG bar, you can define it at the beginning, in the medium and at the end of your life. Being active, allows you to perform attacks rev. In addition, depending on the position in which the bar is positioned, a certain bonus is obtained in the fight, as stronger attacks, the power bar that increases faster and a meter for slowly overwhelming removal, giving more options to adapt to the style of each player.

Fatal Fury’s gameplay: City of the Wolves also presents two interesting precisely called Defense and Hyperdefesa techniques. The first is activated when blocking the opponent’s attack in the exact moment in which the impact occurs. This makes you recover some life, decrease the meter and still gives you the opportunity to perform a counterattack.

Speaking of Hyperdefesa, which is a little more difficult to perform, implies the defense of the opponent’s first attack and therefore the strengthening of the directional forward at the time of the impact of the second attack. Done correctly, you can also counteract the opponent.

There is also the possibility to cancel the animation of some special movements, reduce recovery times or pretend to perform a special attack to confuse the opponent.

The SPG bar can also be used in combination with the Potenza bar, which is filling its actions during combat, to perform the powerful hidden attack equipment, which has connected, causes enormous damage.

Without SPG, the strongest specials with the power bar are the ignition gears and red gears, which are also powerful and can be used together with combo and counterattacks to improve their effectiveness.

Another aspect of the gameplay that is worth mentioning involves the battles of two floors, which Fatal Fury fans should already be familiar. In them the internship is divided into two floors in which the players are fighting, being necessary to use it intelligently to obtain the victory.

Unfortunately only a phase of the entire game has support for this. In the others, the struggles occur in the traditional form, with a single floor. I thought it was a sin and I hope SNK includes support in other phases in the future.

Explore South Town

In addition to the traditional arcade mode for the characters, which presents comics -shaped movies, there is also a different mode called South Town Episode, in which you choose one of the fighters and experiment with a campaign with it.

It is necessary to fight with different random opponents in places in the city, which is accessed through a map, and there is no 3D exploration for Street Fighter 6 molds. Each fight gives you experience that increases the character’s level, providing more life and allowing them to use the skill sets, which are faded by the progress of the campaign of each fighter.

Optional struggles involve unknown fighters who use combat styles that Kof’s most frequent fans, fatal fury and the art of fighting will recognize in the act, as well as the cast of the cast fighters of the wolves. To advance in history and release all regions of the city, it is necessary to triumph in the main struggles, which is not difficult to do as long as your character’s level is high enough.

There are also secret struggles that do not appear immediately on the map, and it is necessary to avoid it with the cursor until they find them, driven by a characteristic sound and by the vibration of control, which increases as you approach where they are. These struggles offer much more experience than normal as long as you can have in them.

Another important aspect that is worth noting is that when you finish the episodes of South Town, a new version of Game+ Map opens, allowing you to face even more powerful opponents if you wish.

It is important to note that each character has his own campaign in South Town, so doing them all will consume a long time. However, I think that only a small part of more dedicated fans will do it, as it is a way that it is tiring to play after some time, because it is too repetitive.

By adding episodes of South Town with the traditional Arcade mode, which is fantastic, you will be very busy in the game, even if you don’t touch the multiplayer.

And by the way, speaking of multiplayer, it has play support, which makes it easier to find someone against those who play. There are classified, casual, room, online classification and the possibility of seeing the replays of the fighting in the room. It awaits me not to be waiting for connection or stability at the time of launch.

By the way, another interesting aspect of multiplayer involves clone mode, in which you study your style of play during online fighting and create clones from you and other players, allowing you to fight them or release your clones to face other players.

There are also local methods against, training, tutorials and missions. I also recommend that the tutorial is the first thing you play in the game, because complete it will teach you almost everything you need to know about game mechanics.

Commenting on the graphs and performance, both are fantastic. It is a very nice game with excellent characters of characters and flashy artistic style that has guided incredibly well on PlayStation 5. However, although the gameplay is in 60 fps, the scenarios have many basic animations in 30 fps. It is not something that hinders gameplay, but it can disturb some players who are more demanding with graphics.

There is also a Jukebox option to listen to the songs of the game, a gallery to watch the films and illustrations that unlocks while progresses in the game, unlockable dialogues, a publisher who allows you to change the colors of the characters and other extras, including a minisious one to destroy the beer bottles.

Speaking of the cast of characters, I must emphasize that although he has a good size, with 17 fighters, I lost Andy Bogard and Joe Higashi on him, that they will only be available as far as further condiment fighters 1. Having said this, as the game is sold only in special edition format, which includes the passage, which includes at least all players who make their purchase will have access to new characters when they are available when they are available.

In the end, I found strange that Cristiano Ronaldo, who is a playable character in the game, is not present in the episodes of South Town and Arcade. According to SNK, it can only be used in these ways through an update that will be available after release.
