The King of Fighters AFK, a new mobile entry in the iconic fighting game franchise, is now available in early access for players in Thailand and Canada. Fans in these regions can download the game immediately from the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store. This retro RPG-inspired title features a roster of beloved characters and promises 5v5 battles. Progress made during early access will carry over to the full release, NetMarble has confirmed.
Unlike its predecessor, King of Fighters Allstar, KoF AFK adopts a different genre. While Allstar benefited from crossovers, such as with WWE, KoF AFK takes a more distinct approach. However, the game features Neo-Geo Pocket-inspired sprites and, for early access players, guarantees Mature, a powerful Orochi clan member, for their team.
This new mobile offering faces the challenge of winning back fans potentially disillusioned by previous entries. Its success hinges on delivering a compelling and relaxed gameplay experience.
