While primarily a skill-based fighting game, the competitive nature of THE KING OF FIGHTERS can sometimes lead to social comparison. Although the collection lacks modern manipulative design mechanics, the inherent variable rewards of winning and losing can still be engaging. The content includes moderate violence typical of the fighting genre.
