For some reason I can’t seem to get my account back and well I might as well not spend my time it took to re-grind everything back **Developer response:** Hello Captain, this is The King of Fighters: Survival City. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. Please contact us at https://joycity.oqupie.com/portals/1858 and we would be more than happy to assist with your issue. We will continue to improve and provide a stable service. ### 2/5 — First week was great then felt bored *2023-04-07* Hey publisher, If you want this game to do well knowing that im big fan of kof, make some changes, after one week the game is so boring and it takes hours and hours of doing the same thing and waiting for the stamina to regenerate and earn food and money to build houses, make it fun rather than redundant. **Developer response:** Hello, this is KOF: Survival City. We apologize for your negative experience while playing KOF: Survival City. We will pass on your suggestion to our developers. Please contact us at https://joycity.oqupie.com/portals/1858 to tell us more about your insight. We are always eager to hear our Captains' voices for improvements. ### 2/5 — Beautiful, but with game-halting bugs *2023-04-06* Love the game so far, but there have been a lot of crashes. Most recently, a bug has appeared that makes it so I can no longer play the game. Right after gaining Kula in the story, there is a facility to the north that the story makes you attack. I think it is called “Dark Lab” or something like that? In any case, it shows my roster like it wants me to pick people, but the screen goes dark, I can’t pick anyone, I can’t hit back, I can’t hit start, everything is unresponsive. The only thing I can do at that point is restart the game, but it still does the same thing every time I get to that point in the story, so it will not let me progress. I am on iOS (iPad) in case you need to pinpoint the issue. I would love to continue playing your game. I’m a die-hard SNK fan, and even though I usually dislike city-building games, you have crafted the world and characters with such care that I could not help but be sucked in. Please help me help you. I just want to play. They would not let me process this review without giving a rating, and I did not feel right giving you a 4 or 5 star due to the many bugs and crashes. However, I will obviously change the rating once I am, at the very least, able to continue playing the game again. I feel that 3 stars is pretty generous, considering. Edit: Unfortunately, despite the developer’s responses, after multiple maintenances, the result is still the same. I can’t play the game. I’ve lost interest waiting for so long, especially since I was only able to play for about 15 minutes before being hit by this bug, and am finally uninstalling today while correcting my rating from 3 to 2 stars. It’s not like I have some rare device OS or something. I’m on iOS, so it’s baffling to me that a bug like this could exist for so long with absolutely no change. It’s a shame, because the game had a lot of potential. **Developer response:** Hello, this is KOF: Survival City. We apologize for the difficulties you have experienced while playing KOF: Survival City. The mentioned area has been resolved through maintenance. Should the issue continue after updating, please contact us at https://joycity.oqupie.com/portals/1858 and we will be more than happy to assist you. ### 4/5 — Difficulty in obtaining resources *2023-04-02* There are too few resource points to occupy. I hope to increase the opportunities and welfare activities to obtain resources. **Developer response:** Hello, this is KOF: Survival City. We appreciate your honest review. We will never leave any feedback unheard and always find ways to improve our service. Please contact us at https://joycity.oqupie.com/portals/1858 and tell us more about how we can provide a better service in the future.

We are extremely happy to hear that you are enjoying KOF: Survival City as much as we are! We will continuously strive for a better service so please feel free to contact us with any suggestions or comments. We will be more than happy to hear your thoughts. Thank you! ### 1/5 — An Anti-F2P F2P game *2023-03-26* While the formula itself is pretty standard as far as gacha games go and the premise is out of left field (it’s KoF themed State of Survival), the game is designed to be a miserable experience for F2P players or even those just looking to spend a couple of bucks. The first parts of the game introduce a pretty standard gameplay loop: collect fighters, level up, upgrade tiers and gear, improve your base, collect more resources, repeat. A few hours in though, it’s clear that the rate in which you collect things just doesn’t keep up with the increasing costs of purchasing and upgrading everything even with boosters, and the only options on offer are to join a guild(which is going to require even more investment of resources, though it does offer extra benefits), or to pay for everything you’ll need to get your fighters strong enough to progress past the next stage. PvP doesn’t make this any easier. Joining a guild is basically a requirement here, as higher level bosses and raids become difficult to do solo, and having your own base raided will result in characters becoming unavailable for varying amounts of time(which you can spend more resources to speed up) and losing resources beyond a certain cap, making that grind even tougher. Even compared to SF:Duel this feels predatory, and caters to the whales more so than most other games of the genre. Unless you’re willing to grind out hours for minimal gains, spend stupid amounts of money to continue enabling questionable gambling practices, or just REALLY need a Terry Bogard fix, steer clear of this money farm. **Developer response:** Hello, this is KOF: Survival City. We are very sorry to leave you unsatisfied with KOF: Survival City. We appreciate your honest review. We will never leave any feedback unheard and always find ways to improve our service. Please contact us at https://joycity.oqupie.com/portals/1858 and tell us more about how we can provide a better service in the future. Thank you. ### 3/5 — Typical SLG *2023-03-26* There is nothing new here. The only reason to play this game is because you like KOF. Everything else this game has to offer has been done before, and arguably better, by other games in the genre. **Developer response:** Hello, this is KOF: Survival City. We are very sorry to leave you unsatisfied with KOF: Survival City. We will never leave any feedback unheard and always find ways to improve our service. Please contact us at https://joycity.oqupie.com/portals/1858 and tell us more about how we can provide a better service in the future. Thank you. ### 1/5 — Complete rip off none of the quality *2023-03-25* KOF was a game with quality sprites smooth gameplay and a vibe all its own. This game had none of this. **Developer response:** Hello, this is KOF: Survival City. We are very sorry to leave you unsatisfied with KOF: Survival City. We are currently doing our best to make improvements to our service. Please contact us at https://joycity.oqupie.com/portals/1858 and let us know what we can improve on. Thank you. ## Frequently asked questions about KOF ### What is KOF: Survival City about?
