In the realm of fighting games, Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves emerges like a roaring beast from a 25-year slumber, ready to challenge the dominance of Street Fighter 6. This revival injects a fresh dose of adrenaline into the genre, offering a unique gameplay experience that sets it apart from its competitors. With a four-button layout and a lack of universal approaches, City of the Wolves demands strategic thinking and precise execution from its players. The introduction of the rev meter system adds a layer of complexity, forcing combatants to make critical decisions on the fly.
The game's character roster, featuring a mix of classic favorites and new additions, provides a diverse array of playstyles to suit every fighter's preferences. However, the inclusion of guest characters like Cristiano Ronaldo and Salvatorei Ganachi raises eyebrows, as their presence feels somewhat out of place in the gritty world of Fatal Fury. Despite this, the single-player options, including arcade mode and Episodes of Southtown, offer engaging experiences that cater to both newcomers and seasoned veterans of the series.
One of the standout features of City of the Wolves is its online functionality, boasting rollback netcode that ensures a smooth and responsive multiplayer experience. While some matches may encounter delays or input issues, the overall online performance is commendable. However, the game's UI design leaves much to be desired, with clunky menus and navigation hindering the overall user experience. Despite these minor flaws, Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves stands as a formidable contender in the fighting game arena, breathing new life into a classic franchise and setting the stage for intense battles to come.
