Enjoying the creation of Netmarble Neo, you’ll have the opportunity to amass the main warriors from the KOF series, including characters such as Kyo Kusanagi, Terry Bogard, Nikaido Benimaru, Shermie, Mature, and many more. What I find intriguing is how the battle scenario varies based on the team composition and positions you choose.

Although it might be nicer if it wasn’t just sitting idle, the game nonetheless appears enjoyable, boasting a dot-graphic style reminiscent of retro aesthetics, endless progression, team battles (5v5), villains, an exclusive combat system distinct from other King of Fighters titles, and numerous additional features.

The global launch of “King of Fighters AFK” is set for September 4, and it’s available for pre-registration on both the Google Play Store for Android users and the App Store for iOS users.
