User Reviews

THE KING OF FIGHTERS '97 Android app is appreciated for its authentic arcade experience, graphics, and nostalgic gameplay, including Bluetooth local multiplayer. However, users frequently criticize the overly difficult AI, poor touch controls, and lack of training modes. The game is also incompatible with newer Android versions, and some controls and multiplayer features are buggy. Overall, it is a faithful but challenging port best played with an external controller.

Pros

Faithful arcade port with original graphics, sounds, and smooth animation.
Brings back childhood memories and nostalgia for fans of the series.
Includes Bluetooth multiplayer to play locally with friends.
Controls are generally tight and responsive when used with external controllers.
The game features many classic characters and complex fights familiar to longtime fans.

Cons

AI difficulty is excessively high even on lowest settings, causing frustration and making progression nearly impossible.
Touch screen controls are inconsistent and problematic; special moves are difficult to execute without a controller.
The game lacks training mode or practice support, which would help players get accustomed to moves and combos.
Not compatible with newer Android versions like Android 11, causing crashes or failure to run on some devices.
Bluetooth multiplayer mode is buggy and needs fixing to function properly.

Recent reviews

I rated five stars because it's an amazing game, no online but it does have Bluetooth multiplayer - nothing like trash talking your same room opponent! Which I don't have right now so single player it is and OMG it is BRUTAL!

I am happy with the updates but not even with the SP button can't make all the special moves for some of the characters for example Leona she had a lot of special moves that you'd be able to do in an Arcada machine but for the SP you can only make 2 PLEASE PLEASE APP MAKERS REALIZE WE ARE PLAYING ON A SMARTPHONE NOT A AN ARCADE MACHINE!!!
