The King of Fighters AFK: Early Access Launches in Thailand and Canada!
King of Fighters fans in Thailand and Canada can now experience the latest mobile entry, The King of Fighters AFK, currently available in early access! Following last week's pre-registration, the retro RPG-inspired title is available for download on Google Play and the iOS App Store. NetMarble has confirmed that player progress will carry over to the full release.
This idle RPG features iconic characters from the beat-'em-up series, allowing players to build diverse 5v5 teams. While it differs significantly from the previous King of Fighters Allstar, offering a distinct gameplay experience, early access players receive Mature, a powerful Orochi clan member, as a guaranteed recruit.
A New Challenge for KoF Fans
King of Fighters AFK faces the challenge of winning back fans after the discontinuation of King of Fighters Allstar. Its departure from the original series' style may present a hurdle for some players. However, the Neo-Geo Pocket-inspired sprites and the inclusion of Mature might entice fans to give this new title a try.
Whether this new approach will satisfy long-time fans remains to be seen. For those curious about the game's place within the mobile fighting game landscape, a comprehensive list of the top 25 best fighting games for iOS and Android is available for review.
