In addition, "Iori with the Power of Flames”, “NESTS Style Kyo”, and “Mr. Karate" DLC characters are now playable from the start, for a total roster of 36 characters!
The time has come to face rivals worldwide!

3-ON-3 TEAM BATTLE

Choose a default team of 3 characters or make your own team by picking up 3 characters of your choice, and fight against teams until victory! Develop your own team strategy by choosing the best characters for you!

STORY

In this mode, you will experience a variety of background stories not touched upon in the game’s original Arcade Version. Discover the truth about KOF’s “Ash Saga” and its secrets through the eyes of the main character, Ash Crimson, and other characters who were not directly participating in the tournament. Your decisions and battle results may lead you to discovering new story elements; try out all the different options and every scene!

NETWORK

THE KING OF FIGHTERS XIII Galaxy Edition now features vastly improved netcode that will provide you with the most comfortable online experience yet! The new netcode features improved communication speeds between you and your opponent, and also tailors your online experience according to your PC environment!

THE KING OF FIGHTERS XIII Galaxy Edition features three different types of ONLINE VERSUS Matches, allowing players to challenge other rivals worldwide in endless and intense battles:
  • Ranked Match - fight under specified regulations, and your results will be reflected in the rankings.
  • Player Match - playing in this mode will not affect your results. You can fight against others casually.
  • Friend Match - invite online players and challenge them through this mode for heated competition!

MISSION

Tackle three different kinds of missions in this mode, and improve your skills!
  • Time attack - Defeat all CPU opponents in the shortest time you can.
  • Survival - Select a character and fight your way through as many CPU opponents as you can.
  • Trial - In this mode, each character has 10 tasks, which mainly focus on combos. By the time you complete all 10 tasks, you will have mastered some combos for that character.

TUTORIAL

Rose Bernstein, hostess of the tournament, will teach you the basic techniques as well as explain the gauges and their uses. First time KOF players should start here to get used to the game.

CUSTOMIZE

This mode allows you to edit your online profile and change character color palette. You can create a team to use online, add icons collected while playing, or enter a preset message that you want to use in your profile. For each character, you can make up to five custom color patterns. Show off your personality on the worldwide stage!

OPTION

A “GRAPHICS OPTION” feature, allowing the players to switch between different frame rates and simplify backgrounds, has been newly added.

BUY THIS GAME

KOF XIII still one of the best KOF's out there, totally worth buy. the mechanics are very fun, and the game is filled with a ton of content. may be a hot take, but I don't like the art style used, but the pixel art done is so well made that it seems dumb to complain about this.

Decent KOF, bad port

Decent 2D fighter, terrible PC port, as usually happens. Netcode is mediocre, keymapping is an absolute mess. You can't leave empty all of the key bindings for player 2, even if you never use it. You're forced to map everything, in order to exit the control config screen. Games for 25 years ago had more intuitive key mapping options.
