ART OF FIGHTING. THE BATTLE OF THE WORTHY IN A WORTHY BATTLE.

Greetings, lovers of dark nights under the covers (and not only)) My name is Fred and I review the old console and not so (console? Old?) Games.

What is the first thing you think of when you hear the word Fighting? I think many people imagine such games as cult :

Mortal kombat and no less iconic Street Fighter.

And rightly so. These games have brought variety to the genre and endless streams of joy (and violence) in the hearts of gamers around the planet. Therefore, "Urrrah!" comrades of this series of games! That's all. Forgot about them (difficult, I know, but necessary). Now we will unveil the curtain of secrecy over another series of fighting games. ART OF FIGHTING !!! Not? did not hear? Well, who heard respect, and who did not hear - get acquainted)

It's about the 1992 game from SNK-Art of fighting, the first of the series of games of the same name.

I think many have heard about the famous game King of fighter. It's practically a street of fighter clone, but the game is also very dynamic and beautiful. So AoF is one of the first games in the KoF series. It was in it that the fighters appeared who began the path from fighters against bandits to a world-scale struggle, that is, the battle for the title of world champion in the category ... fights without rules (Mk smelled ... mmm ...)

AoF fighting first appeared on the neo-geo console (arcade machine). The best thing I can tell you. My laptop warmly accepted the Neo-geo emulator and that's how I got to know this fighting game. I recommend to everyone who shouts: "There are no fighting games on PC!"

Let's go directly to the game)

Where does Rod begin ... in the sense of fighting? Of course, with a massacre! That's right) (of course) But before you hit someone's face (you need a kawaii reason? Well, of course, if it's not a drunken brawl) And who creates the reason? The fighters themselves.

So. In single player mode we have ... 2 fighters ?! You can affirm. Come on. The main thing is that they wave their means of communication well.

I got acquainted with the game itself quite recently (Yeah, yesterday).

But I can say - she made a very impressive impression on me.

Plot.

There is no more wonderful plot in the world. This is the most unusual plot. (Sarcasm) The main Hero Ryo (which reminds me of something ...) is kidnapped by a certain Mr. Big (the names of the villains are always some kind of pancake ...). Our karate kid is calling for the help of his friend, apparently an Italian, named Robert (he actually mows a rogue on the Italian mafioso). And the two of them must track the kidnapper, kick him on a melon and take his sister. gentlemen.

Fight your mother!

The fighting technique is good here. And very, very hardcore. For example, the first few bosses are passed without any effort. But then ... then each of the fighters will have to sweat. They are very strong fighters and far from stupid. The style “go on

break all the muzzles, I will break the mad dogs. " In the game, you need to be careful, choose tactics carefully and strike at the right moment.

There are few super attacks here, but they really save lives. Unfortunately, there is a bar of energy, it ends and your super hits become almost useless. Of course, you can go to a corner and quietly pump up energy for yourself, but your opponent doesn't like to leave you alone so that you don't get bored.

There is such a technique - "Teaser" - takes away the energy of your blows from your opponent. Useful thing. She saved me more than once.

Interestingness

The game has attention partial damage! Oh my God! MK 2011 suddenly has a competitor! So-so. Well, here's how in general, the less life the more his muzzle swells and turns blue. It seems to be a trifle, nice) For me, a young ghoul and a lover of bloody battles, it was a pleasant surprise.

There are also some Trials in the game. For example, break the necks of bottles with the edge of your palm or use your hand to unpack ice blocks into dust. It looks very good too.

I never made it through the game. The last boss, a karate fighter with a bicep bigger than his head, raped every cell of my fighter. And I already wanted to sleep (make excuses, weakling!)

It is also worth noting that each boss reacts differently to the selected fighter and changes tactics. Quite interesting for a 1992 game)

Outcome:

Play, Friends) Great fight, looks very good on the Neo - Geo console. I guarantee you will not be bored) But mentally unstable individuals should not be turned on, because the second boss will cause a broken computer / console / gamepad / keyboard.

Plot - 5/10. (He is present and there are even inserts between fights)
