The twelfth installment of the famous King of Fighters XII series is a massive reinvention of the franchise rebuilt from the ground up both technically and visually to celebrate the series' 15th anniversary. The game features a streamlined battle system and all-new high-resolution character sprites and backgrounds. Battles are the 3-vs-3 matches that KOF is known for, though the tag system has been removed. The game features a total of 22 fighters, two of which are exclusive to the home release, and all of whom are returning combatants from previous titles.
The gameplay of King of Fighters XII focuses on fast-paced and intense 3-vs-3 battles, with an emphasis on strategy and technique. Players can choose from a diverse range of characters, each with their unique fighting styles and special moves. The game's battle system is based on a combination of button inputs and timing-based combos, requiring players to think carefully about their attacks and defenses.
