Ultimately, The King of Fighters XIV Ultimate Edition is an excellent fighting game which is seriously handicapped by the fact that no-one seems to play it online anymore. Thankfully it has enough to entertain on the single-player front, but some players may be disappointed by the lack of a real story mode, and the absence of a solo/team select for it and the accompanying single-player modes. So, if you have one or more friends that also love fighting games and don’t mind buying a copy, go for it. Otherwise, think long and hard before splashing the cash.
