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!

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.

Do not spend your money on this game

For some reason the keymapping is broken for all of these games. Why are the devs unable to make a user-friendly keymapping system for these games? It's frustrating that they're actually selling this game like this. Any physical real-world product this defective would be recalled. This game should be sent back to the devs until they fix it.

Decent Modern Entry Point to the Series

Summary: a somewhat polished, a slightly design-flawed game that tries very hard to be Tekken and especially Street Fighter IV, with a ton of unique game modes and content. I recommend this one much less conditionally than 2002 UM, though both are decent for different reasons. Dig up the original arcade version once you grow beyond the limitations of this watered down PC port. Pros: 1. Sweet graphics (low significance) 2. The game tries to imitate KOF 2002 UM i.e. KOF 9-2 (2009) with some success. 3. Inputs are a bit (but just a bit) more responsive than in UM 2002. 4. The character colour customization is fun, though some chars (the ones with little clothes such as Daimon) have very little options for it. 4. Music is phenomenal, e.g. Tame a Bad Boy, only the replacement of the Psycho Soldier theme with inferior Purity Soldier one sucks. Nothing else. (major sign.) 5. The survival mode is still there. 6. Runs smoothly on a potato system. Cons: 1. There is no way to bind diagonal movement buttons, making accurate movement and some vital specials impossible to pull out regularly with a keyboard. Dumbed down alternative inputs without diagonals could have easily fixed this (a major flaw). 2. The arcade/story battle missions mistakenly refer to Super Special moves as "Desperation Moves", which is probably the Japanese term. It is initially very confusing. 3. No single arcade. 4. Tons of loading times. (medium sign.) 4. The unlockable chars suck. Billy and an overpowered fireball spammer Saiki. F-ing lame. Even Geese would have been better. 5. Two extremely annoying end bosses (unplayables: Mukai-abs. Saiki and Evil Ash), the same broken-as-hell style as in earlier titles. Totally destroys the casual mood and forces very boring fighting styles. Evil Ash is difficult even on Very Easy. (a major bore) Neutral: 1. The character count is 37. Feels small after 2002 UM's 66. Also the characters here feel a lot more samy. 2. The plot is a whole lot of nothing.

Not as good as Mortal Kombat

no blood gore and fatalities I would rather play Mortal Kombat Armageddon and I would rather play Mortal Kombat XL more than I would play this but it's still a good fighting game
