About This Game
A decade after a ruthless crime lord named Geese Howard assassinated the martial artist Jeff Bogard, the victim's two adopted sons—Terry and Andy Bogard—resolve to confront their father's killer by competing in the King of Fighters, a prestigious combat tournament held in the crime-ridden streets of South Town. Joined by their steadfast companion Joe Higashi, the brothers navigate a brutal gauntlet of fighters, each bout drawing them closer to a final reckoning with the tournament's sponsor and their sworn enemy. Revenge drives their fists as much as honor, setting the stage for a personal vendetta played out across a stage of hand-to-hand combat.
