As a long-time fan of classic arcade brawlers, I couldn't resist diving into Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves — and wow, SNK has truly brought the heat back to the arena! Whether you grew up with King of Fighters in your local gaming café or you’re a new fan of 2D fighters, this one is worth a serious look
What’s New & What WorksModern Graphics with Classic Feel: The game has that stylish cel-shaded look, but it still honors the retro vibe we all grew up with.
Familiar Faces & New Blood: Terry Bogard is BACK (of course), and he’s joined by a cool cast of new fighters. The mix of old and new makes it exciting for both OG fans and newcomers.
Combo System: Super responsive controls and combos feel so satisfying. Perfect for button mashers and skilled tacticians alike!
Soundtrack & Presentation: Amazing OST. It really pumps you up. Feels like you’re back in a 90s arcade—but updated for 2025.
For Pakistani GamersIf you played Tekken in local dhabas or old KOF titles on modded PlayStations, this game will hit you right in the nostalgia.
The game isn’t too heavy on specs either, which is great for mid-range PCs and consoles (for those of us not on next-gen yet).
Local multiplayer is CRAZY fun — ideal for a get-together with friends or cousin gaming nights!
A Few ConsOnline matchmaking is a bit slow in our region, unless you use a VPN or play off-peak.
Some characters still need balancing (looking at you, Grant
).
Verdict: 8.5/10This is SNK’s love letter to fans of old-school fighters. Whether you're a casual player or a proper competitive beast, City of the Wolves delivers action, drama, and serious throwback vibes. Not to mention it’s a great option for those looking for something fresh beyond Tekken and Street Fighter.
