SNK Playmore’s King of Fighter brawls its way to Google Play.

While many may argue that Capcom’s Street Fighter is king of fighting games, SNK SNK Playmore would like to politely remind you that they too have their own king of fighters. The King of Fighters, SNK Playmore’s own fighting series, have finally made their way on Android. Released by G-Gee, the King of Fighters hopes to be the answer to Android gamers prayers, an honest to god fighting game from a popular series.

While touchscreen controls isn’t ideal for fighting games, SNK further complicates the already cumbersome controls by making the buttons transparent. Along with the joystick and virtual buttons taking half of the screen, most of the view will be blocked for players with large thumbs. Four inches and larger and Tablets highly recommended.

Another draw back is forced registration for a G-Gee membership in able to play the game. While this is required for future features such as online player ranking, those who wish to go solo will be forced to take the punch if they wish to play.

Despite minor drawbacks, King of fighters is still fun to play. Sporting high def graphics similar to their recent console outings and over 20 fighters and five game modes, its safe to say that King of Fighters is currently, er, the king of the fighting genre for Android. You can pick up SNK’s King of Fighters off of Google Play or through our store for $4.99. Xperia Play owners will be happy to know that this game is also optimized for your physical controls. Full press release below.
