Masterfully created by the revered SNK Corporation, KOF '98 ACA NEOGEO harkens back to the golden age of the arcade genre. When one delves into this colossal world of face-paced action and intense battles, their senses are bedazzled with the detailed art, dynamic sound effects, and complex yet engaging gameplay techniques that only a gaming giant like SNK could produce.

The ostentatious art style of the game is a feast for the eyes. Character designs push the graphical boundaries of the Neo Geo console to thriving details, capturing the spirit of the 90s arcade era. The game's aural landscape is equally captivating. The punchy sound effects echo the game's intense action while the rhythmic tunes create an adrenaline-pumping atmosphere. The soundtrack, encompassing everything from heart-thudding rock to catchy jazz tracks, is as diverse as it is appealing, brilliantly enhancing the engagement of a player.

A special mention is deserved by the game’s riveting storyline which is engrossingly exciting, each scene being meticulously crafted to add layers of complexity to the characters and the gaming ambiance. Turning focus towards the gameplay techniques, KOF '98 truly shines. The series' signature system, including tactical feints like short-hops and guard-defending rolls, the fun "extra mode", as well as unique specials for every character adds a strategic layer to the classic fighter. However, the steep learning curve for mastering these techniques can feel daunting to fresh players. Despite this slight shortcoming, KOF '98 brings forth a remarkable gaming experience, standing strong as one of the finest entries in the Fighting Game pantheon even after two decades elapse.

How to play?

🎮Step 1: Familiarize yourself with the controls. Every character uses the same movement and attack input but has different special abilities, so understanding the control layout is crucial.

🎮Step 2: Master the Basics. Walk, dash, jump, and crouch to understand the basic movements first. Then proceed to using light and heavy punches and kicks which provide varying damage and range.

🎮Step 3: Learn about 'Special Moves'. Every character has a unique set of special moves performed by a particular combination of joystick movements and button presses.

🎮Step 4: Practice the 'Combos'. Combos are strings of attacks that, once started, can't be blocked in the middle. They allow causing high damage quickly.

🎮Step 5: Use the 'Guard Defense' skill. This ability can push back your opponent while you're blocking, creating some breathing space.

🎮Step 6: Explore the 'Extra Mode'. It offers tactical options like evading and short jumps, providing alternatives to mainline gameplay mechanics.

🎮Step 7: Have Fun and improve. Your skill will improve only with practice. The more you play, the better you'll understand each character and their capabilities, creating your unique strategies.
