The King of Fighters All Star (ザ・キング・オブ・ファイターズ オールスター) is a free-to-play, mobile beat’em up RPG game developed by Netmarble Neo, published by Netmarble and authorized by SNK. It is playable on iOS, Android and Microsoft Windows. The game brings together characters from the four main sagas of the King of Fighters series.

While the game primarily revolves around KOF fighters, there has als been limited-time crossover events with other franchises and companies. Notable crossovers include Gintama, Samurai Shodown IV: Amakusa's Revenge, Tekken 7, WWE, Seven Knights, The Seven Deadly Sins: Dragon's Judgement, Dead or Alive 6, Guilty Gear Xrd Rev 2, Street Fighter V and Street Fighter 6, Soulcalibur VI, and Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown. In addition to crossovers, the game also holds special events that introduces unique versions of its’ fighters, such as a holiday-themed costumes, or a genderbent version.

On June 27, 2024, it was announced that King of Fighters ALLSTAR would end its services on October 30, 2024.[1]

The game initially released in Japan on July 26, 2018. After high demand from South Korea, the game was released there on May 9, 2019, having gone through tests at events there since the end of 2018 and holding special venues for promotion. Netmarble announced a release date for global regions (including The Americas, Europe and China) for October 22, 2019, with pre-registering being available until then. Additionally, due to the game's successful performance on mobile devices, a beta version of the game for Windows PC was released to in 2022.

The game was ultimately a success for all regions and has been one of the most successful mobile games for The King of Fighters franchise up to date.

A notice of the End of Service was announced, and the game will shut down on October 30th, 2024.[1]

Crossover History

Story

The player wakes up in the world of The King of Fighters without any memory to remember. With the help of an energetic girl named Noah, the player must participate in the tournaments from The King of Fighters '94 (and onward), and wins the tournaments in order to regain their memory.

Starting from the very beginning (KOF '94), the player must go through each chapter (categorized in specific years) of each saga with the Ash Saga being the most recent update.

Features

While including all fighters from the main KOF series, the game implements a gacha system where certain characters are only available for a limited time. These "festa" characters are only obtainable through summons and not by regular unlocking.

Another feature is the battle card system, where certain special moves are unlocked by equipping a matching battle card suited for the specific fighter. Depending on the card, it unlocks super skills that may cost from three bars to five bars of power with having weaker stats for lesser costs. Most cards need to be pulled or manually selected (with the use of tickets), but some are unlockable through Epic Quests (usually costs three bars).

The game also features multiple remixes of BGM's from previous installments depending on the character or his/her team. In addition to soundtracks, the game also includes many stages reminiscent of previous SNK series and respective franchises (for crossovers i.e. Tekken).
