    The game is absurdly beautiful and the cast is fantastic. I seriously have problems thinking of which 3 characters to fit in my team, given that I like so many of them.
    However, like a lot of recent fighting games, it seems the devs mostly focus on the multiplayer aspect of it and deliver us basically an arcade game.

    However, like a lot of recent fighting games, it seems the devs mostly focus on the multiplayer aspect of it and deliver us basically an arcade game. A part from story mode there really isn't any single player content(altough they added Rugal boss mode, it's pretty barebones too, beat it in 6 tries).
    Also, it seems that since launch, there are people that simply cannot play on line and this problem has not even been adressed by the developers.
    All in all, a great fighting game, but lacking in content.    … Expand

    KOF XV es para los KOF en 3D lo que KOF 98 fue para los KOF en 2D, sin duda es uno de los puntos mas altos de la saga en mucho tiempo. Para cualquiera que haya seguido la saga desde sus inicios este juego es un manjar.

    Por el lado negativo, el apartado gráfico se nota un poco anticuado, además de que el jefe final no tiene una pizca de carisma y la historia es bastante cutre, pero    KOF XV es para los KOF en 3D lo que KOF 98 fue para los KOF en 2D, sin duda es uno de los puntos mas altos de la saga en mucho tiempo.

    Por el lado negativo, el apartado gráfico se nota un poco anticuado, además de que el jefe final no tiene una pizca de carisma y la historia es bastante cutre, pero considerando que es un juego de lucha esa es de las partes menos importantes.

    En lo que se refiere al multiplayer, es divertido y el Rollback net hace muy fluidas las batallas, ya que el lag se siente muy poco, pero por desgracia encontrar una partida toma entre 5 y 20 minutos.    … Expand

    Undoubtedly, KOF XV is an evolution over XIV. But I feel like this game is too stuck to its roots of the past and abandons mechanics that were introduced in previous versions. I don't know if I would go so far as to say it's the best game in the franchise – long-time fans would hardly agree with that, even. However, it is a fact that we are talking about another fighting game that is totally worthy in this era of good fighting games in which we live. Could be better? Yes. But it's alright. Maybe next time.

    An excellent rebound from the divisive The King of Fighters XIV, KOF XV showcases developer SNK's deep fighting game chops via a creative combat system, vibrant graphics, and many fun extras.

    The King of Fighters XV builds on the success of the previous game. The online mode is a great experience, but the outdated graphics performance and unstable frame rate degrade the gaming experience.
