About THE KING OF FIGHTERS ’98

THE KING OF FIGHTERS ’98 proudly represents one of the best titles in arcade fighting game history, and now, in this era of portable gaming devices, a team responsible for its production has decided to give fans of the series a new mobile version. The developers strive to recreate frantic arcade atmosphere and legendary complexity of the combine systems. The game features an eye-pleasing pixel art. The main idea of the game is to plunge the players into numerous aggressive duels and challenges. Touchscreen version maintains the core concepts of the original game and extends its legacy. It is no secret that contemporary hardware and software allow creating a plethora of alternative fight systems and combat mechanisms. Designers of this mobile adaptation chose to rely on classical principles of fight concepts and mechanics and maintain the competitive balance between characters. Moreover, the mobile adaptation offers players an opportunity to enjoy the feel of arcade games of the 1990s and early 2000s.

Fans of complex fighting systems will relish in THE KING OF FIGHTERS ’98’s mechanics. The cast of super characters are loosely based in real world forms of martial arts, and provide a wealth of imagination when it comes to how different moves can interact with each other. Players are incentivized to experiment and create strategies with different styles of fighting. The game features traditional battles as well as a plethora of side content, from different game modes to the ability to define your own rules and playability. Veteran players have a wealth of content to explore by learning new fighting styles to add to their arsenal. Learning and mastering each style is difficult thanks to the speed of the fights and the interactions between moves. Knowing which style to use against an opponent is the key to victory.

It can be difficult for fighting game developers to find a satisfying control scheme for touchscreen devices. The developers of this game have constructed an interface specifically for fighting game controls. The implementations for combos from the arcade game have been ported, and a wider variety of methods for performing them have been provided. Like the arcade game, performing combos requires a sequence of buttons, and specific actions can be taken to input a command for a special ability. The command for a special ability can also be executed to defend against an attack. The interface ensures that high-level play is encouraged and enables players to utilize the series’ trademark moves in numerous ways. Although the control scheme is touch based, players are still obligated to perform inputs in the same manner as they would on a physical button scheme.

Diversity in character is where the core experience of the game resides. Designing martial arts and street styles of fighting differently brings a variety in gameplay. The game has a good roster of characters and each is creative in their own way. Different characters have different skills, and each skill is composed of a special system of combos which inflicts different kinds of status effects or attack in different angles. These elements force players to gather info of their foes and concoct strategies to counter various kinds of threats. Since all characters are designed in such a way that they’re strong and weak in specific aspects, brute strength is not always the key to winning. Match outcomes are determined by the players’ reflexes and how imaginative they are in pulling off complicated stuff in quick succession. Perfect timings, use of surrounding environment and creativity is rewarded in the game. Attacks have 10 different angles and inflicting a status effect on the enemy is not always the objective in fighting games and in this game, players need to recognize these minor details to win.

The locations for the battles in this game are full of detail and make for great, rich, battlegrounds. Each environment uses multiple elements to interact with the playable characters and define limitations on the player’s actions. These different atmospheric effects make each battle feel different and give players a sense of variance in the levels. Interacting with different characters in the environment prompts certain actions, reactions, and dialogue. These characters are useless from a gameplay perspective but do a great job adding flavor to the game and taking a page from classic fighting games of the past and incorporating them into an otherwise serious story. These systems allow for a greater degree of flexibility when designing battling systems and breaks from traditional fighting game design.

Being skilled in the power system of THE KING OF FIGHTERS ’98 is crucial to be the best at the game. Each character has their own set of powerful skills that deal an insane amount of damage and can even decide the outcome of a match. To gain the power to use these skills, players have to engage in aggressive play style and receive or give a specific amount of damage. This transforms the power gauge to its maximum limit. The opponents can also engage in aggressive play styles to block or dodges the player’s moves, hence creating a mind game of when is the best time to use the skills. There are multiple modes and rules that players can set for the matches to fit the competitive play style of their friends. There are also rules that can restrict the amount of damage received, and, thus, give players ample time to think of the best skills to use in a given situation.
