    City of the Wolves is quite a mechanically deep game, and to my eyes, has an incredibly well considered fighting experience powering it. Such depth will require practice, which means that casual players might have a hard time jumping on for fifteen minutes a day. Basic, simple combos aren’t going to cut it against some of the insanely-lengthy murder chains that even intermediate players can whip out. The difference in damage is just too extreme, and the optional Smart Combo mode for beginners is more of a learning tool than a serious way to play. On the flip side, it’s absolutely worth putting the time in.

    City of the Wolves is a solid instalment in the series, and a game that is in love with its past, while adding new layers everywhere that counts. There is substantial single player content, multiplayer of value and considerable roster. SNK fans will be eating well today – as long as they are prepared to pay extra for content.

    Fatal Fury deserved a grand return, and I think it has found it in City of the Wolves, despite being a little below the technical prowess of other great franchises in the genre, such as Tekken 8 or its most direct rival, Street Fighter 6. The new mechanics feel right for a new audience, and the constant nods to long-time fans are there to keep the nostalgia alive. This installment may not reinvent the genre, but I think it will earn a cherished place among fighting fans.
