The Korean national hero Kim Kaphwan is back and he’s put together a new team of fighters for The King of Fighters XIV. Kim is a staunch evangelist for Tae Kwon Do, so it only makes sense that he brings his master Gang-Il and his master’s lover Luong to the tournament. His strong kicks and aerial attacks, coupled with Gang-Il’s deadly flurries and Luong’s lightning fast kicks, makes this group a nightmare for anyone.
The only thing stronger than their love for kicks is their burning desire to preserve justice and rehabilitate evil people. Luckily for them, Team Kim will DEFINITELY face some villains in the tournament. Does this team of crusading Tae Kwon Do enthusiasts have what it takes to go the distance?
Here are the top-line refinements for The King of Fighters XIV:
- ● 3D Evolution: All 50 fighters, movesets and more are rendered in full 3D graphics that preserves the essence of KOF’s visual style but updates it with a whole new dimension.
- ● The Best Refinement since KOF ’98: Through extensive playtesting and balancing, the controls have been streamlined, and the Combo and Max Mode mechanics have been overhauled to create the most competitive fighter in SNK’s history.
- ● The KOF Saga Continues: There’s a robust single-player storyline where several years have passed since the previous KOF tournament. Now a worldwide business, the global KOF will decide who is the strongest as both individuals and companies with their own ambitions have come to compete. Players compete against CPU-controlled opponents to unlock the storyline.
- ● The Best Roster Yet: There are 50 fighters total, with 31 returning from previous entries into the KOF series, and 19 brand new characters. All 50 characters will be available at the game’s launch.
- ● Revamped Online Experience: The King of Fighters XIV has devoted a lot of development time to improving the game’s netcode for vastly improved online gameplay. KOF XIV uses the PS4’s online architecture to have a whole host of online conveniences, from spectating to saving replay/battle data, and having a single online KOF XIV profile to connect with friends.
The game will be $59.99/CA$79.99 at launch. Pre-orders and a limited number of launch editions will arrive in this special SteelBook® case. Plus, for the week following launch, the Classic Kyo costume DLC will be free to all players!
