   The King of Fighters XII is a title that tries to go back to the basics for a storied franchise, but instead of offering an accessible game, the developers deliver an entry that feels stripped down and shallow. Read more

   Rebirth. That’s what The King of Fighters XII is all about. Getting back to the basics, reliving the glory days of the fighting genre. Remembering what made the series kick ass. A large ensemble cast divided into teams of three, all competing in one of the most epic crossover tournaments ever conceived. All kinds of flashy special attacks and technical aspects to master.

   If you’re a KoF fan or you’re looking for another brawler, then you can’t go too far wrong with this one. However, be warned, online play is still like battling in a jar of treacle a lot of times. Read more
