    It doesn't fulfill as a fighting game, it doesn't fulfill as a fanservice game... Everything is done halfway and makes the game suffer... And of course it makes a really bad representation of the characters... nakoruru shouldn't have been put in this "game"

    If you went into this thinking you could get an interesting KoF spinoff on Switch, you are DEAD wrong! This game is an absolute mess in so many ways! First off, the whole idea of the game feels... Off. Now SNK wasn't unfamiliar with the female fighter cast, this happened over 20 years ago with Gals Fighters on the NGPC. Yet, that game somehow manages to kick this game's ass. That gameIf you went into this thinking you could get an interesting KoF spinoff on Switch, you are DEAD wrong! This game is an absolute mess in so many ways! First off, the whole idea of the game feels... Off. Now SNK wasn't unfamiliar with the female fighter cast, this happened over 20 years ago with Gals Fighters on the NGPC. Yet, that game somehow manages to kick this game's ass. That game featured the characters to have some serious charm with some nice humorous animations akin to Pocket Fighter. But here, it's just fanservice bait, like Mai's cow outfit and Kula having Angel's outfit. Meaning this game has no charm of the original. Doesn't help that the gameplay is basically nonexistent, as all the depth of a KoF game is gone. No more command inputs, no more crouching, no more holding back to block. This game just pries on being super simple and of course, that hurts the game a lot! What the result is that every character ends up having only one combo that'll be the only combo you will ever be using. That is it. That means there is no reason to come up with any strategy or even a single mixup. It gets boring in about 5 seconds. Doesn't help that this game somehow still ended up with some bad frame rate issues on Switch despite not looking too clean, KoF14 laughs at this game. Overall, this game just uses fanservicy content to try and hide the lack of anything good about it and I hate that. This game could easily have been a hidden classic if it went for the charm of Gals Fighters and kept the deep gameplay of KoF, but apparently that was just impossible for SNK and they just had an urge to completely muck it up. If SNK ever decides to go for this again after KoF15 releases, they better make it actually good!… Expand

    SNK Heroines is a weird spin-off of KOF XIV that aims at the male audience by selecting the female protagonists of the game. But the gameplay has been ruined for the sake of accessibility, and the oversexualized leftover has us still puzzled.

    This is a casual fighting game where SNK heroines come together, and while it may succeed in serving that purpose, the game’s main modes and graphics are far from ideal.

    SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy is not going to reinvent the fighting game genre and it certainly lacks content and feels too superficial but it also manages to be fun and appealing to fans of SNK fans and features good amounts of humour that will keep the game enjoyable, especially when it comes to the characters' interactions with each other.
