Terrible Port of an amazing game.

While less appreciated than other fighters of the era, Garou: Mark of the Wolves stands as one of the all-time greatest fighting games. The best way I can think to describe it is "what if the King of Fighters team took a shot at making a Street Fighter game?" Like the King of Fighters series, it is fast-paced and highly aggressive, but lacks the arsenal of movement options made famous by the series of team-based fighters: you have dashing/running, short hops (which are a bit less powerful than in KOF), and that's about it. No strike-invincible rolls, no hyper hops. This makes it feel a bit more "fundamental" than the King of Fighters. That being said, this port is just awful. Being an emulation of the Neo-Geo AES home console, it features nothing the original didn't feature (save for a move-list in the emulation's poor frontend, which doesn't detect all of the buttons on an Xinput controller), which means you're stuck with the rather limited training mode of the original. No recording and playback, no random blocking. I would already feel rather disappointed if those were the only issues, but this port fails at the most important part: the game itself. Emulation is just awful: frequent stuttering, and the worst audio latency I've ever seen in an emulation. Now, admittedly, I'm a snob when it comes to emulation quality, but the stuttering and audio latency is so awful in this version, even the most casual of fans will notice. Simply put, don't buy this game. If you have a console, those versions have just as limited features, but at least the game works properly.

An okay port if you're lucky

Garou: Mark of the Wolves is one my favorite fighting games ever, and seeing it pop up on here had me both excited but also worried. From the looks of it it's the same as the steam version, which had mixed reviews. Some reviewers said it played fine, others had very inconsistent framerates and audio delays. Since it was only 3 dollars on here with this starting sale I figured, why not try it out. For me there have been no FPS issues or sound problems, so I lucked out in that regard. The menus aren't exactly the nicest, but they're not terrible either. The command list is kind of confusing, but hey, at least there is one. For ways to play offline you have 3 different modes in the arcade menu: Story, Survival, and Versus Story gives you the classic arcade mode, Survival gives you a survival game of round after round fighting NPCs with a constant timer and healthbar while the npcs sometimes drop powerups, and versus is local two player. There is also the online, but I haven't tried that out yet as when I checked the lobbies there were none. There is training mode which is nice to have, though I haven't played around with it much yet so I won't comment on it at the moment. Graphics options are pretty good, you can choose your resolution and aspect ratio (a warning: changing to 16/9 does just stretch it out, not an actual widescreen mode), fullscreen/windowed, whether to have the video filtered (unfiltered leaves the pixels clearer, filtered gives kind of a blurry look but also makes things smoother), and also some scanline options. You only have a single sound option which is a master volume, no independent control for bgm/fx/voice but I'm not surprised by that. All characters (bosses included) are playable from the start, to reach the bosses you have to go past the character list either to the left of Rock or to the right of Terry. Hopefully if the problems complained about on the steam release start showing up for people here there can be some sort of patch to fix it.

Misunderstood Port

Garou Mark of the Wolves is time tested classic 2D fighting game. Played on Linux Mint with a Logitech F310. Garou MOTW is the final game in the Fatal Fury series by SNK for the Neo Geo arcades and consoles. The diverse characters with unique special attacks, almost arthouse graphics style, cool looking backgrounds, and fluid controls are all here in fine form. Garou has been ported to a wide range of platforms from Sega Dreamcast to Xbox 360 to XB1 to PS3 to PS4 to Nintendo Switch to...right here on personal computers. The two gamepads issue is easily remedied: The second controller must press COIN (usually the R Bumper) to load a credit in the 2P slot, then press START. This is very much like the arcade releases of Neo Geo games. Solved!

One of the best fighting experiences

This release is a faithful port of the original Neo Geo MVS arcade version with some great improvements. It comes with different screen filtering options, frame art and better customizable controls, also an unlockable gallery, but the most important new feature is the online multiplayer that now has rollback netcode implemented and it is a joy to play. This is the best version of this game to date and it should be a must buy for any fan of the genre.

Great game but again, not a good "port".

I'm going to keep this brief and mostly focus on the port itself. Anybody that's actively seeking out SNK's stuff likely already knows the nature of their games which are arcade classics emphasizing skill and difficulty. MotW is the final known entry of the Fatal Fury/Garou series, taking a page from it's contemporary Street Fighter III's philosophy in focusing on bringing in a fresh roster while building upon the technical aspects of the series' gameplay. This entails the removal of the two plane system common in the Fatal Fury/Garou series while working in the additions of the T.O.P. system and Just Defend mechanics. This is the third PC version of this game following the original Humble then Steam versions. Unfortunately the inexcusable problems noted with the Steam release crop up here as well, indicating that the GOG version likely hasn't had any work done for the better. The game suffers odd frame drops in several places that don't seem nearly as apparent on the barebones Humble version! This becomes immediately evident in things as simple as jumping, which looks choppier than it should. That's not all however as the audio for player actions tends to sound delayed also, sometimes just barely, other times rather obviously. It's a wonder how the barebones first version somehow functions a bit better in motion than this one over a year later. If you're just looking to experience the game for cheap, then I guess this is an "okay" option. Heck, if you want to re-emulate it yourself this will help serve that purpose legally as well. That being said, there are clearly better versions of the game on other platforms (not PC) and it makes one wonder why in the world SNK would approve ports like these when they've clearly contracted much better groups to do them several times over by now. So a very casual "yes", and a rather hardcore "no". Definitely play it if you like the genre and are new to MotW. If you already have, seek a port more fitting of a true hungry wolf.
