Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves might not be the flashiest fighter in the ring, but what it lacks in quantity is made up in spades thanks to its rewarding fighting mechanics and unwavering commitment to hardcore players.

As a self-confessed Neo-Geo fanboy and with two amazing fighting games in Street Fighter 6 and Tekken 8 still rolling out DLC, I was giddy as all get up with

While some questionable characters are part of this long-awaited fighter, City of the Wolves is a true competitor to the likes of Street Fighter 6 and Tekken 8. That said, it does lack the content found in those big hits, coming across as a far more lean package.

Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves is not the most innovative or ambitious fighting game of the year, but it’s one of the most heartfelt and enjoyable.

The release of a new Fatal Fury is a very important milestone for SNK enthusiasts. Even if The King of Fighters is, technically-speaking, the best and most popular fighting franchise by the company, it’s Fatal Fury that, uh, “drives the plot forward”, considering how it was the first fighting series by SNK, the one where most of the famous characters come from, and the one that turned SNK into the juggernaut it is today.

Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves is what SNK is best at. A pure fighter with great mechanics that are easy to understand and only the best will master. It's just a shame that so many of its modes and unlocks are shallow and don't add much to the overall experience.
