The King of Fighters AFK launches early access in Canada and Thailand for Android and iOS

The King of Fighters AFK: Early Access Launches in Thailand and Canada!

King of Fighters fans in Thailand and Canada can now experience the latest mobile installment, The King of Fighters AFK, currently in early access! Available for download on Google Play and the iOS App Store, this retro RPG-inspired title features your favorite characters in 5v5 battles. Netmarble confirms that progress made during early access will carry over to the full release.

A Different Approach

Unlike its predecessor, King of Fighters Allstar, KoF AFK adopts a distinct RPG-style gameplay. While this departure might concern some fans accustomed to the original series' fast-paced action, the game offers a unique, more relaxed experience. The Neo-Geo Pocket-inspired character sprites might appeal to nostalgic players, and early access players receive Mature, a powerful Orochi clan member, as a guaranteed recruit.

Will it Win Over Fans?

The game faces a challenge in winning back fans potentially disillusioned by previous mobile titles. However, KoF AFK presents a fresh take on the franchise, potentially offering a compelling alternative for those seeking a less demanding, yet still engaging, King of Fighters experience.
