The final KOF game from the original SNK before bankruptcy hit em like a genocide cutter. The gameplay is as solid as always, now with a new striker assist mechanic which shakes things up enough to keep things fresh. The background setpieces are really detailed and well drawn, even in death SNK creates beauty. This game continues the plot of the NESTS saga and even marks kulas debut! (though fighting as or against her is a bit of a hassle). For one of SNKs swansongs, they did a good job.
