SNK Heroines Tag Team Frenzy Reviews
A bright and unpretentious fighting game, who pays the duty for his ambitions of immediacy, finishing up being rather insipid.

SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy delivers some unique battles with a cast of enjoyable characters. The game’s difficulty spike in the story mode and the lack of content are unfortunate, but it’s an otherwise good game for those who are getting their feet wet in the fighting genre.
SNK HEROINES: Tag Team Frenzy is a fun fighting game with lots of customization to offer. It is too bad that the grind to unlock everything does not feel rewarding enough. Not to mention, the online does not offer much to stick around for.
There are flashier and more intricate fighting games out there, but SNK Heroines is different - and certainly in a good way. Customisation of the characters is played up, but unlikely to really be truly appealing outside of a few cosmetic items to adorn them with now and again. A few more modes could have really helped bump up the value, but the unique take on tag team combat should ensure this title carves out its own little niche. Tense and tactful matches are what fighting games are all about, and that is most definitely here. It is clear the developers had fun creating this game, so give this one a chance. You'll most likely have fun, too.
Despite its shortcomings, I did enjoy my time with SNK Heroines. Its weak plot and lacklustre single player options did leave me wanting more, but the fun and ease of playing with friends really stood out to me. If you have a group to play with or find yourself eager to play against the masses online, it's definitely a game I can recommend. An appreciation for the partially dressed also helps.
SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy is a female-only beat 'em up, but the results doens't works really well; special moves are too easy to execute, but SNK Playmore did the right thing by allowing 2 player tag battles.

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.
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.
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.
SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy is a weird fighting game. It tries to appeal to newcomers by banking on hypersexualization of its characters and downplaying game mechanics which might push away fans.
Precisely what the target audience may be for this fighting game is hard for me to say, its weird dress-up elements not being quite as controversial as the watered down mechanics of it all. The thing is, if for whatever reason you get a kick out of the ability to customize your fighters looks to a degree this unique feature (or at least the all-female roster) may well be a selling point. Overall it’s just a decent fighter up against a pretty wide spectrum of titles from more traditional to modern and more hardcore to mainstream, sitting somewhere roughly in the middle across the board.
We both had fun with SNK HEROINES ~Tag Team Frenzy~ and its simplified set up for special moves, and we did also like how the health bar and the special moves bar are directly related, affecting how much energy you have for special moves as you receive more damage. But we both feel that the costumes for the all-female cast and how they're presented is a bit too heavy on the fan service. But if that's something that doesn't bother you and you want to try a fighting game that does a handful of things differently to stand out in its genre, then you can certainly check this one out!
If you're looking for a casual style fighter, this one should fit your needs. There's some room for deeper strategies with how the blocking is set up, but if you're more of a fan of double cancels mid-frame during a special move to input a super that drains all of your super bars, then you might want to pass on this one, especially if you're not in the mood to take on the fan service it offers.
It's the kind of fighting game you can pull out when friends who might not be masters at the genre come over. The game is pretty good however, at teaching new players a lot of the basics of the fighting game genre and is extremely easy to pick up and have fun with.
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.

SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy does exactly what it sets out to do. It provides a fan service filled, over the top fighter anyone can pick up and play. This is pretty much what I expected this title to be from the day that they announced it. I thought the girls’ outfits were all outstanding and I really had a good time playing through the crazy story with each set of girls. I do think this one is a little light on content. A few more gameplay modes or some other extras wouldn’t have hurt this one a bit. If you are an SNK fan and you want to see some of the leading ladies in a very unusual environment, then this one is well worth the $49.99 price tag. I think casual fighting fans would have a great time with this one as well, since it is really easy just to pick up and play. In the end this may be for the casual fighting fan, but I still feel that it’s better than your average anime fighter!
"Girls just wanna have fun."
