We reviewed the game and gave it a 9/10. Raouf Belhamra said of the game: “Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves represents a historic return for SNK’s venerable series, combining authenticity with modernity. With innovative gameplay, vibrant graphics, and music that captures the spirit of the series, the game delivers a masterpiece worthy of the return of a legend after more than two decades. Despite some minor interface flaws and some controversial additions, its combat, story, and technical performance make it one of the best fighting games of all time and a benchmark for the new generation of the genre.”

SNK’s beloved Fatal Fury series debuted in 1991 and was one of the first games to lead the fighting game wave that swept the industry in the 1990s. Garou: Mark of the Wolves, released in 1999, was for a long time the last entry in the series... But now all that changes: 26 years later, a brand new installment is coming - Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves!

The game features a unique art style that stimulates the senses, an innovative REV system that heightens the excitement, and a set of new combat systems that are more powerful than ever.

The game also brings new life to the series by introducing two different control schemes to ensure enjoyment for beginners and professionals alike, along with all-new features and elements.

The streets of South Town are filled with excitement, wild dreams, and the craziest ambitions. And here, finally, a new legend is about to be born...
