SNK’s latest fighter, Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves, is now out for those who pre-ordered the game. As such, I wondered if you could play the game on the go, using either the Steam Deck or ROG Ally X. But since my Son stole my Steam Deck, I’ve been playing Fatal Fury: City of Wolves away from my PC and on the ROG Ally X, and it handles the game like a champ.
I shouldn’t be surprised, given that this mighty handheld does a great job of running 2D games, especially fighting games. I just didn’t expect it to handle as well as it does. Kudos to SNK for some magical optimization, for sure.
Check out how well the ROG AllyX handles Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves in the video below. I put the settings I used under the video.
For those wondering about the settings, you can refer to these. It keeps the game running decently, without sacrificing too much visual quality
