Fatal Fury City of the Wolves

I've always been a big fan of fighting games, and nothing compares to the satisfaction of beating up some random videogame character who probably doesn't deserve it.

I promise I don't have anger issues... That's why I was excited to see that a classic fighting game was making a comeback. Fatal Fury is a series that has been around since 1991, with the first seven titles all appearing on the Neo Geo console. Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves is the first new release in the franchise in 26 years! Sure, some of the characters have made appearances in other titles like Super Smash Bros. or The King of Fighters, but it's not the same; it doesn't count. The main protagonist in the series, Terry Bogard, known as the Legendary Hungry Wolf, is here, along with his friends and rivals from earlier Fatal Fury games. Though I do have to mention the biggest surprise in the roster, Cristiano Ronaldo, a forward for and captain of both Saudi Pro League club Al-Nassr and the Portugal national team.

The vibrant main menu of Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves has multiple options to check out: you can play the game online (with cross-play), where you can participate in ranked matches, casual matches, or join a room with friends. Offline mode lets you play locally against other players in Versus. Arcade allows you to play through the story by choosing one of the 15 available characters, and Practice mode helps you improve your skills. The Gallery includes movies, artwork, and voice lines for all the fighters' moves and attacks. In the Albums section, you can even create your own playlist with the songs you want to hear while fighting.
