The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. 1 of the 25 refunded reviewers was past Valve's two-hour window when they wrote the review. Inside the two-hour refund window, 25 percent of the 194 reviews written there were positive, against 57 percent overall, and those are 35 percent of everything written about it.

Great Game! But changing keybinds is still a nightmare Also fair warning, there is NO ONE in the Online mode at the moment, you'll have an easier time finding people on Discord than on ranked. There is a good Story mode and arcade mode has many ending for each of the teams. Great KOF game, try it or give KOF XV or KOF 2002 a try if you want to find matches online.
I can't put both Kyos on the same team ): That and the training mode resets EVERYTHING after rebooting the game. Genuinely very annoying.
Steam reviews, mixed to its ratio and rotated daily. Opinions are theirs.
