KOF '97 makes you wish more companies took their arcade classics so seriously!
From great downsampling even in 4K, to amazing rollback netcode for online matches, as well as a variety of modes (with training mode missing sadly, but hopefully there's a mod for that!), you're definitely getting more than what you pay for!
The roster is quite big, the story is quite good (considering it's an arcade game from 1997), and most importantly, the game mechanics are great! If you have experience with any other KOF game you'll feel right at home, and if not, you're bound to train some necessary positioning and punishing skills, that easily transfer to any other fighting game.
