Players praise it as SNK's magnum opus, even better than City of The Wolves, with fluid, easy-to-learn combat and a welcoming system for beginners.

The catch

The port runs badly, with frame drops, input lag and audio going out of sync.

Why it is here

It is here because it sits in the band this site looks at: well reviewed at 95% positive, but with 1,042 reviews, far fewer than the household names carry.
