SNK Heroines Tag Team Frenzy Reviews
While SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy has the potential to be a fun hunk of cheese and fanservice, ultimately it relies too much on the game's premise to carry things.
If you're new to fighting games - or you're simply in the market for something that feels like a bona fide arcade fighting experience - there are few titles as easy to pick up as SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy. Its busty and over-sexualised characters might not be to everyone's taste in 2018 - and the use of Dream Finishers definitely won't be of appeal to purists - but look beyond the garish colours and there's a tag-team brawler with real potential, not to mention plenty of hilarity.
SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy is a competent and accessible fighter that is held back by some visual issues and a bad story.
SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy is a light fare for fighting games, but there is more than enough smart systems to keep fighting game aficionados interested. Even better, the game is a cute entry point for people new to the genre. So long as you aren't expecting a deep combat system or extensive PvP functions, you won't be let down. Either way, the fabulous SNK heroine cast will likely impress–one way or another.
SNK Heroines it's not even close to be a great game. Almost every part of the game could be better, beginning with its combat system and ending with its lack of game modes.

A bright and unpretentious fighting game, who pays the duty for his ambitions of immediacy, finishing up being rather insipid.

It's almost heartbreaking how much fun SNK Heroines is, because all of that fun is wrapped up in a fetishistic presentation that didn't need to be there in the first place. By putting out a cool, casual-friendly fighting game that happened to only have a roster of female characters, SNK could have reached a wider audience of people and rekindled some of the magic they made 18 years ago with Gals' Fighters. Instead, though, SNK put Mai Shiranui in a cowprint bikini and gave Terry Bogard breasts, alienating a massive amount of people in the process. SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy is one of the funnest new fighting games I've played this year, but I can only hope that a future installment trades the fanservice for familiarity, and gives us the Gals' Fighters sequel the world deserves.
SNK Heroines is the japanese company's bet starring its famous girls with an all new battle system that will satisfy all of its players and that also focuses on the customization of the characters. This is, indeed, a fan service type of game.

Though SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy is not the Gals Fighters 2 we may have been hoping for, it is a very daft, very fast, and fun brawler. There is a serious question of longevity to be considered, and veteran players should consider the game's simplicity before purchase. But in a group setting, or among newcomers, sisterhood of sluggers will get the job done, looking fabulous while doing so.
While I can't say SNK Heroines is a bad game, I cannot recommend it to you unless you love its aesthetics and fanservice. Because, what is the point of recommending a gameplay-wise average fighting game at this time? 2018 has already treated us to EVO's new favorite Dragon Ball Fighterz, Blazblue CTB, Fighting EX Layer, Street Fighter V Arcade Edition, Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection. This year was fantastic for fighting games, and it hasn't finished yet (Soul Calibur VI and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate are still coming!). There isn't any strong reason why you should pick SNK Heroines before any of these other high-quality games. But you will have some "sexy" fun if you do, and I know this can be a dream game for a lot of players.
SNK Heroines is a game that attempts to appeal to a very specific audience, but it is not even a good "one of those" games. It mishandles the aspects it is attempting to nail and is just not a lot of fun to play.
Though pretty to look at, and maybe fun to play for a bit with some friends, the combat system here just isn't meaty enough for any long-term or tournament worthy enjoyment. Really only just for people that still don't have an internet connection, or are just really into this sort of thing.
SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy may not be the most ambitious fighting game ever created but that doesn't stand on its way of being a fun and accessible title that will appeal to fans of SNK fighting games and which features heavy doses of humour. The gameplay is overly simplistic and often the game feels superficial, which is somehow balanced by the enjoyable moments spent at following the characters' interactions with each other and dialogues.

SNK Heroines shows some solid gameplay, but it severely lacks content and gives poor fan service.

SNK Heroines is an odd duckling in SNK's fighting stable that turns the traditional formula upside down by emphasizing accessibility over traditional technical prowess. Admittedly, it's not for everyone and the game might turn off purists. For newcomers or even KOF fans who want to be able to enjoy the core fighting game experience without having to pull off tough special moves, however, SNK Heroines could still be a fun and flashy fighter that brings everyone into the fray regardless of skill level.
SNK Heroines is a really enjoyable fighting game that, albeit many will criticize for its more casual approach, offers an interesting and fun experience. The only thing that this is its lack of content: from game modes to character roster and scenarios. Its impossible to not look at it as an imcomplete title with entertaining gameplay mechanics.

It begs the question who exactly SNK Heroines is for? The hardcore fighting game fans aren't going to find enough here to pull them away from Dragon Ball FighterZ or Tekken 7 and yet, they're the ones who are going to appreciate the references to SNK's arcade history throughout.
In a year filled with blockbuster fighting game titles, SNK Heroines just doesn't do enough to appeal to the fighting game market. It's a shallow game filled to the brim with fanservice, but there are deeper games with just as much fanservice out there.
SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy might rightly draw ire for its overt, unnecessary sexualisation of fighting games' femme fatales, but its problems extend further than social problems. It's anaemic in content and the fighting itself lacks any real depth.
While SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy is accessible to anyone who may want to play it, its limited roster and bogus 3D models don't do the heroines justice.
