THE KING OF FIGHTERS 2002 UNLIMITED MATCH

It's peak. So many characters, beautiful stages, and UM's soundtrack SLAPS

é muito bom

really bad. got banned for calling a kof hater deranged on the forums. def not buying shiddy of da wimps now :)

take my money

Top tier fighting game 100/10

nameless fighting

Five Kyos, zero dodgy footballers. What more could you ask for?

yeah this may not have neogeo mode and the other stuff from the ps2 version but it's still really fun with the online mode and achievements
in my opinion this is the second best version of 2k2um behind the playstation 2 version
so i kinda recommend playing it
but if you can, please check out the ps2 version too

Kof 2002 is the definitive game that I used to play on arcades, along with 2000 which I saw a guy being kicked out because of the infinite combo using Iori Yagami and Joe Higashi. After that he stopped playing and never returned again.

This steam version was already good and now is even more complete than the original 2002 which now have more characters to play. Now with rollback netcode, you can play with or against any pro player from around the world finally see if you really are as good as you think you are.

Shingo in game good game

Love this game so much.

WARNING: BC run combos will give you carpal tunnel if they dont break your hands first

Good game and all but I really wish there was a save point in the middle of the game so I can come back to it. Overall fun and challenging game.

The only fighter you will ever need. Heaps of interesting characters to choose from, multiple single player mods, and, if you take the time to hop onto Discord and find a channel for matchmaking, then you're set for multiplayer too. This game, Samurai Showdown V and The Last Blade are like the holy trinity of SNK games and you should get all three.

Biggest and best roster for probably any fighting game, ever. Multiplayer is still very much populated. Awesome!

This game is good, but this version is disappointing. Basically, this version is not a port, but an emulation of the arcade version. The best version of KOF 2002 UM is the Playstation 2 version, which is actually a port of the game, with more content. The PS2 version has a gallery, you can edit the color palette of the characters and you have access to the Neo Geo version of the original KOF 2002. All these extra content I mentioned do not exist in the Steam version. SNK chose the easy way to make this version of the game, which was to emulate the arcade version instead of making a port of the PS2 version.

This is a recurring problem in re-releases of old SNK games, they always emulate the arcade version. This is not a problem when it comes to games from the PS1 generation because the arcade version is actually superior for not having loading issues. But when it comes to PS2 generation games, the arcade version is the inferior version because the console versions no longer have loading issues and have more content. KOF 2002 UM was originally released on the PS2 generation so it didn't have loading issues, the most correct thing to do would have been for SNK to have made the Steam version a port of the PS2 version.

One of the best in the series, and it shows. Me and my friends could play for several hours in a row and never get bored.

Best. SNK. Game. Period.

This one have the best version of BGMs.

best kof

It's very possible that SNK simply shot and murdered all 3 American Sports Team characters and thats why they've only ever been in 2 games. They're in less games than Choi Bounge who is a one foot tall gremlin creature that runs around like a little rat and pokes you with his big claw hands. Some things just don't make a whole lot of sense I guess.

iori yagami gives me a boner

don't worry guys I'm bad at fighting games too

without a doubt, the best dream match game in the entire KOF series. EVERYBODY from the NESTS saga games, no matter how obscure they are, makes an appearance (except for K9999) and even some that weren't are playable too! better yet is the amazing gameplay that takes notes from it's older brother KOF '98, the absolutely banging soundtrack, and as usual for SNK, amazing spritework. it's awesome!

Epitome of classic kof. those who like learning about classic game art and ost, this is a good starting point.

I've always been drawn to fighting games like a moth to a flickering, pixelated flame. The promise of perfectly timed combos and dramatic victories is intoxicating. But reality? Reality is me, face down on the digital floor, wondering how some kid in Busan just pulled off a 30-hit combo while I was still trying to figure out how to block.

So, naturally, I thought KOF UM would be my triumphant return to the genre. I bought it with the unwavering optimism of a Labrador chasing a tennis ball. I imagined myself gracefully weaving through fireballs, pulling off dazzling super moves, and leaving my opponents quivering in their virtual boots.

Instead, I've been reduced to a shaking mess of flailing fingers and frustrated grunts. This game is a brutal, unforgiving mistress. The combos are less like a smooth dance and more like a frantic tap-dancing competition with a chainsaw. I try to implement strategies and read my opponents' moves, but it usually just ends with my dude getting launched into the stratosphere by some hyper-powered uppercut. The game, mind you, is absolutely gorgeous. The pixel art is so vibrant, it’s like stepping back into a 90's anime fever dream where the characters are beating the tar out of each other instead of having overly dramatic conversations about friendship like nowadays.

Yet, here's the weird thing: I keep coming back. Why? Well, it's not the complex mechanics, or my burgeoning fighting prowess. (Let's be honest, "prowess" is a strong word for my button-mashing escapades.) No, it's the pure, unadulterated weirdness of it all. And, if I'm being completely honest, the… well, let's just say the slightly less-than-practical outfits of some of the female characters don't hurt. It's like a tiny little reward for taking another digital beating. "At least I got to see another jiggle," I whisper to myself through gritted teeth, as I'm staring at the "You Lose" screen for the millionth time.

My main, you ask? Ah, the Psycho Soldier Team. Specifically, Bao. Yes, Bao. Hear me out. I don’t main him because I have some galaxy brain strategy or understand his complex movesets. I main him because he’s a chaotic mess of short limbs and psychic energy. When I win with Bao, it's pure, unadulterated luck. He’ll be bouncing around like a hyperactive pinball, suddenly launch himself into the air with a move I didn't know existed, and BOOM, victory. Apparently, nobody in their right mind mains Bao. Veteran players seem to think I'm some sort of masochistic anomaly for picking him.

But hey, at least the music is phenomenal! We're talking J-Hard Rock so good, it could make you forget you’re getting your digital butt kicked. It’s like a Dynasty Warriors soundtrack that had a love child with a classic arcade fighter. It's so distracting good, I often find myself headbanging mid-match, right before I get knocked into next week.

So, is KOF UM a good game? Absolutely. Is it easy? By no means. Will you, like me, probably spend more time getting demolished than actually winning? Probably. Will you secretly, deep down, enjoy it anyway? Most definitely, especially If you enjoy anime-inspired fighters, chaotic action, and maybe a bit of strategically placed fan service. Just don't expect to be a pro anytime soon. You'll need to be a monk for that, or maybe a Korean 11-year-old. I'm still trying to figure out which is harder.

um dos melhores jogos de luta da história, versão atualizada e com rollback fica melhor ainda

Recommended. 8/10*
Good looking pixel art, great music, amazing character designs, the controls, moves and animations are so good, its not my favorite KOF game, but still is very good, one of the best fighting games out there. Also it has achievements and steam cards so you can customize your profile with wallpapers and so while creating badges.

跟CPU對戰的感想: 只能說遊戲平衡完全不存在
敵人打你扣的血量大約是四倍, 起身有更長的無敵時間... 更別說還有一坨奇妙判定各種耍賴

One of my favorite in the entire series. I had this game, and KOF 2003 for PS2 when it originally came out. I probably put 100 hours into that game.

Game is still fun to play today. The King of Fighters game go on sale all the time. Grab it the next time you see it for cheap, you'll be happy you did. Solid fighting game from start to finish.

Should you buy this game?
Short Answer: Yes
Long Answer: YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
All jokes aside yes. It has a good roster, great soundtrack and some of if not the best gameplay in a King of Fighters. But if you're new to KOF and want to get into the game, i'd recommend KOF XV as it is a lot more beginner friendly.

chin GOAT

Game is amazing, buy it.

i like this game

this game is full of cheater

It's essentially a bigger, better version of the original 2002. A good place to start in the KOF series if you wanna seriously commit to this franchise.

good game.

Huge roster & rollback netcode for dirt cheap makes this an easy recommend for those that want to see what KoF is about. Only wish there was a quick way to select a presaved team but otherwise easy recommend.

Buff igniz

I've owned this game for years and never got an achievement on it. And only played it for 3 hours.

The very positive reviews are probably because it is actually a VERY good port. Of what was a very good game many years ago on the original hardware. Hardware a mate of mine owned with loads of games for it.

Worth the recommendation simply for the fact that every time you win.. It calls you a 'weiner..'

this is a good fighting game but if you are looking for something beginner friendly, try one of the more recent kof games. This is my first kof game and combos are not easy, further more it is hard to find beginner guides on youtube. If you are not new to kof and tight combo timings does not bother you, this is a fun game.

Excellent roster and mechanics. Easy to play and very fun. The soundtrack and graphics are top notch and everything about this game feels aesthetic and wonderful. I find the game wonderful in every aspect.

it good

this is like the first game i spent the majority of my first like 5 hours in training mode doing combos cuz theyre genuinely so fun. shoutout dreamcancel wiki, yall are doing gods work

only played for a lil bit and already loving to sweat bc of pixels!!!!!
