The latest addition to the iconic game series

FATAL FURY: City of the Wolves is a premium action game that is positioned as the ninth in the FATAL FURY series but the seventh in terms of storyline continuity. This riveting installment is imbued with nostalgia yet brims with innovative mechanics that adapt to the evolving landscape of fighting games.

Dive straight into the action

Visually, FATAL FURY: City of the Wolves takes a bold leap forward. Inspired by American graphic novels, the art direction boasts a comic book-like look coupled with motion blur effects that give each movement and impact a dynamic, almost cinematic quality. The addition of numerous NPC characters also creates a more immersive and engaging experience.

This installment’s Arcade Style caters to those who cherish the tactile challenge of classic game mechanics, while the Smart Style is a modern concession to newcomers, simplifying the execution of dazzling combos with single-button presses. However, there’s still a bit of a learning curve to adapt to for both game modes.

Worth the wait

Overall, FATAL FURY: City of the Wolves stands as both a homage to its predecessors and a significant step forward for the series. It reconciles the nostalgic allure of classic fighting games with the accessibility and visual spectacle expected of contemporary titles.
