The King of Fighters XIII

The King of Fighters XIII is a fighting game published and developed by SNK Playmore.

It is the thirteenth installment in the franchise, and a conclusion to Ash Crimson's story arc.

It was released for the Arcades in 2010, and then was ported to the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360 in 2011, followed by a Mobile release on 2012 titled:The King of Fighters 2012-A, and a Steam release on 2013.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) The gameplay is very solid and fluid, just like most of the previous entries in the franchise.
 * 2) The graphics and art style are stunnimgly amazing and some of the best ever in a fighting game.
 * 3) Unlike the last entry, this game has a great quantity of offline content like color edit, survival mode, time attack, etc.
 * 4) The character roster is very memorable and has lots of fan-favorites to choose from.
 * 5) * Additionally, the most popular SNK female character, Mai Shiranui, makes a stunning return after being left out in XII.
 * 6) You can not only have an elimination team battle, but you can also have a more traditional one-on-one match with additional rounds in it.
 * 7) The characters have pre-fight dialogue in Arcade Mode, and a lot of them are very entertaining to watch.
 * 8) The plot in Story Mode is pretty engaging and serves a conclusion to the Ash Crimson saga.
 * 9) The Steam version is a very solid port and contains all of the previously-released DLC for free.

The Only Bad Quality

 * 1) You have to go through a complicated series of target actions to unlock Billy or Saiki, which can be rather grindy.

Trivia

 * 1) This is the last game in the franchise to use 2D sprites, due to the increasing budget of creating 2D-animated sprites, which nearly caused SNK to go bankrupt.
