King of Fighters: Soul Overdrive

King of Fighters: Soul Overdrive is a 2-D fighting game published by SNK Playmore and developed by Arc System Works. It is available for the Playstation 3, Xbox 360, Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo Wii, Wii U, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation Vita consoles. Like Maximum Impact, Soul Overdrive is a non-canon game that does not focus on the real story, yet takes place somewhere in the Ash Saga. One unlike trait is that Soul Overdrive is done in the two-dimensional graphic style being passed down from the Guilty Gear series, and this is why Arc System Works are the development team for this title. Matches are 3-on-3 like most KOF installments, and similar to King of Fighters XII, there are no proper teams and you can use any kind of team combination you desire. The Tactical Shift System and Tag Attacks featured in 2003 and XI have returned from absence during King of Fighters XII and XIII, as well... And given some upgrades: for one example, whenever an opponent from your team is done for, whenever you keep switching out, that teammate will be revived. The main illustrations were drawn by Toshimichi Mori and Nona, respectively. There are 100 playable characters in this "Dream Match-Fest of a game"! King of Fighters: Soul Overdrive also includes a language selection between Japanese or English, and (at least English voices) this is also the first in the series to use professional voice talent. This also adds characters from other games including Samurai Showdown, Kizuna Encounter, and Savage Reign and also the first game that features third-party characters not owned by SNK Playmore. It's our Favorite game.
