Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves

Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves is a classic fighting game developed by SNK. The game is part of the series launched in 1991, which triumphed on arcade machines, but also made its presence felt on home consoles. Interestingly, this is the first game under this brand in 25 years. The last installment of the series, namely Garou: Mark of the Wolves, debuted back in 1999.

Gameplay

Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves is a sequel of the previous part of the series. During the game we embody various fighters and engage in fierce one-on-one battles on diverse arenas. The characters available in the game include male and female warriors from Garou: Mark of the Wolves and earlier Fatal Fury games, as well as completely new faces like Preecha and Vox Reaper.

We can make use of a wide range of moves and attacks. In addition to basic, normal and special moves, there are "Gear" super attacks with three levels of power, available after charging special gauges. Some mechanics are well-known to the brand's fans, such as T.O.P. System, which was renamed here to Selective Potential Gear (S.P.G.), or Just Defense, containing an extended version of "Hyper Defense".

Thanks to the new "Rev System", we gain access to special moves ("Rev Arts"), an additional attack that allows us to keep enemies at a distance ("Rev Blow"), assistance in creating combos ("Rev Accel"), as well as a special block that repels opponents ("Rev Guard"). With their help we charge one more indicator, the fulfillment of which blocks our access to the "Rev System" for a specified period of time.

The game offers two control schemes - arcade, intended for fighting game veterans, and Smart, which should primarily be checked by novices.
