It’s not unusual for preventing games to make their method to PC lately, however I’m nonetheless a bit stunned to see SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy making the hop from consoles. It options many of the main girls from SNK’s King Of Fighters, Samurai Showdown and Fatal Fury sequence’s, plus Terry Bogard, who is outwardly a lady now. It’s a lighter, sillier affair than others within the style, with as a lot focus in gathering invariably impractical outfits as preventing. The PC model was announced during the Evo Japan fighting tourney final evening, and lands subsequent Thursday, February 21st.
It’s laborious to get away from the sketchier points of SNK Heroines. On one hand it’s an all-women preventing game with a forged of veteran brawlers. On the opposite hand, it’s actually set within the dream-world of an enormous ol’ creeper who needs to decorate the ladies up in daft outfits. The characters react otherwise to every outfit too – generally they’re cool with it, different occasions visibly embarrassed. In brief, it’s an enormous dumb franchise-mining fetish piece that simply occurs to be an oddly inventive preventing game. The forged of characters is genuinely good and diverse, and it does a couple of intelligent issues in fights.
Most unusually, fights don’t finish simply from draining the opponent’s well being on this game. You must land an excellent assault to complete a spherical. SNK Heroines simplifies controls, in comparison with most preventing games. There’s Light, Heavy, Special and Throw buttons and simply mashing on assaults ends in fundamental combos. You’re additionally kicking ten shades of sweet, puppies and sparkles out of your enemies – no blood right here. Being a lighter, extra informal game, usable objects randomly spawn across the play-field to be collected and used. It’s all very daft, however self-aware sufficient to lampshade itself. Not my jam, admittedly, but when it’s ok for Nintendo, then it’s ok for PC.
SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy launches on Thursday, February 21st on Steam. No worth or retailer web page but, although.
