Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves marks a poignant pause in a saga that has spanned 34 years, serving as both a celebration and a thoughtful reflection for a storied franchise. Centered around the refined REV system, its combat design strikes a balance between sophistication and thrilling comebacks. Cross-play and rollback netcode meet modern standards, offering a solid experience for today’s fighting game audience. Rich character presentation and stylish direction deliver nostalgia for longtime fans while also providing a welcoming entry point for newcomers. However, dated elements in input mechanics and content unlocking systems slightly dampen the experience, and the accessibility of the Smart Style controls falls short of expectations. Rather than a bold new chapter, the game feels more like a respectful look back—an homage to the past and a quiet setup for what may come next.
