Except, for a good stretch of the game’s opening chapters, you basically don’t need to care about any of it. Most of it is incredibly hands off, with the biggest effort coming into team composition, timing your taps, and unleashing special powers. When you do dive into battle it’s… kind of a turn-based strategy game, but also sort of a rhythm game. In fact, I mostly was just left confused as to why I was even fighting certain characters. To be fair, mobile games and fighting games both aren’t typically known for good stories, but it doesn’t help that there’s nothing interesting in the narrative to get you on board. What doesn’t help matters is that it is painfully clear the developers do not have a good grasp of English translation. The opening of the campaign mode is literally a finale of a story that, if you haven’t heard before, leaves you completely and utterly confused. The game presents itself so opaquely through one of the most long-winded tutorials I’ve ever seen, never taking a breath to get you invested. There is so much going on, with different upgrades, heroes to collect, menus to navigate, abilities, a story mode in addition to PvP, and none of it is interesting. The King of Fighters ’98 Ultimate Match Online – which is a MOUTHFUL of a name – is possibly one of the busiest yet least interesting games I’ve reviewed thus far for this fine website. Yeah, that went down hill very quickly, didn’t it? Well, it gets worse.
Then you find out that this game is basically a hybrid of Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes with… Final Fantasy: All the Bravest.
