    An interesting fighting game with a unique take on finishing matches. Is that enough to make it compelling? Not particularly. Do the ladies make up for it? I'm going to say yes. Story mode is fun, online works OK as far as I can tell, but so far it's the survival mode which has kept pulling me back in.

    SNK Heroines is an interesting fighting game to say the least. With a fighting cast made up of only female characters, along with suggestive outfits to boot (and a surprising T rating?), it still stands up as it own fighting game, and it does a decent job.

With a fighting cast made up of only female characters, along with suggestive outfits to boot (and a surprising T rating?), it still stands up as it own fighting game, and it does a decent job.

    The main attraction of this game aside from the fighters is using two characters to fight despite sharing one health bar, and the ability to switch between the characters quickly with a press of a button. This is a genuinely cool feature, as it lets us create combos by switching mid-attack, allowing for unique combo strings with specific characters. Some other fighting mechanics such as air dodging, air grabbing, air dashing, items and special/ super attacks being mapped to buttons as opposed to input commands adds extra depth, and the latter makes learning attacks and picking up the game much easier compared to other fighting games.

    The customization feature is also cool, letting you mix and match different accessories, clothing, etc. I like being able to customize my characters around specific themes in games, and this option caters to that. There are some limitations such as color options, though it doesn't hinder the experience. The viewer option allows you to have characters make poses for a camera, fit with different facial expressions and camera angles that can then be saved, despite about 99% of the poses being sexual, but it's there for those that are into that kind of thing. The different clothing options are bought with in game currency, and this currency can't be bought with real money which is a huge plus.

    There are a couple downsides I've noticed in the game, however. A couple characters (by a couple I mean Sylvie) do not make the transition to 3-D well, as the models look somewhat bizarre and standout in my opinion. The bigger downfall in my experience is the A.I. More specifically, when they are at Level 4 or 5. At these levels, the A.I. gets set to a "perfect mode," similar to level 9 A.I. in Super Smash Bros. 4. The A.I gains perfect reaction to all your moves, being able to see them the frame they are active; this means that they always know when to shield, roll, break out of grab, etc. This makes doing anything but guaranteed combos on them not worth it, as they'll counter it. If that wasn't bad, the A.I. seems to know at least one powerful combo with each character (being over 10 hit strings) and they will abuse the hell out of said combo. This makes fighting them not fun as they do the same combos over and over with little to no variety, and since they have perfect reaction they will always get the full combo. There are some other small bugs, such as getting out prioritized by a weak aerial when I use a heavy aerial, and missing a grab at hugging distance, but those aren't big deal breakers.

    Overall, SNK Heroines is a good game. It's fan service to all SNK fans, and the game is fun when playing with friends [haven't tested online yet], especially with items on. The fighting mechanics gives the game more depth, while still being open to new players. The customization and fighting is great. Even though the game has some noteworthy cons, I believe they can be fixed with patches. If you are looking for a fighting game to play with friends,or just want a game full of sexy women in it, this is for you.    … Expand

    For a casual player this would be a really good game to start, but for a more hardcore player it would be disappointing, but the truth is that what you see is what you get and this is actually a very fun pick-up-and-play game and i've had a very good time. The main problem is that this is not a really big packet, but the best part is the customization settings for the characters.

    This game is solid, but it is a pretty shallow experience overall and it probably will not hold your attention for very long. The characters all feel very similar to play. The voice acting is all in Japanese. The DLC is incredibly expensive too - $7.50 per character is outrageous!

    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.
