    If i 002 is a preview of what's to come, then the The King of Fighters is making a comeback in style.

    A traditional 2D fighting game balanced in a way that's out of reach for the iOS competition. It's a pity it lacks multiplayer other than through Bluetooth and some more inventive game modes. [August 2011, p.74]

    Undoubtedly in the top bracket when it comes to mobile beat-'em-ups. [Issue#113, p.117]
