The King of Fighters EX2: Howling Blood is a unique fighting game on the Game Boy Advance platform, published by Playmore, Marvelous Entertainment (Asia), Atlus (USA), and Acclaim Entertainment (Europe). With a thrilling storyline and remarkable improvements, the game not only inherits the essence of The King of Fighters series but also brings a unique, action-packed experience.

Plot: The battle to protect the sacred secret

In the alternate timeline of the KOF EX series, where the events of the NESTS Saga did not take place, the world has not only three sacred treasures but also ten powerful treasures. A mysterious man named Gustav Munchausen is plotting to revive Goenitz’s soul by transferring it to the body of a young boy named Sinobu Amou, who possesses the power of one of the ten sacred treasures. To test the power of his weapon, Gustav organizes the King of Fighters EX2 tournament, attracting the strongest fighters from all over the world.

Sinobu, the younger brother of Miu Kurosaki, becomes the center of the fight when he is kidnapped to serve an evil purpose. Meanwhile, the warriors, led by Kyo Kusanagi and Iori Yagami, must join forces to fight against Gustav’s plot, protecting the world from destruction by the evil power of Orochi.

Gameplay: A blend of traditional and modern

As the sequel to The King of Fighters EX, the game is designed based on the gameplay of KOF 2000 but with many unique improvements. From dramatic battles to the ability to interact with the environment, Howling Blood brings a smoother experience than its predecessor.

The Striker System has been revised, helping players make the most of the support from teammates in the squad. Another unique feature is the Ranking Mode, where players can be evaluated and promoted from “Newbie” to “Orochi Master” based on combat performance.

In addition, new scenes and exquisitely designed music contribute to the game’s appeal and authenticity.

Outstanding improvement

Compared to its predecessor, The King of Fighters EX2 has fixed most of the technical issues, providing smooth gameplay, vivid combat effects, and a flexible control system. The addition of three brand new characters, Reiji Oogami, Jun Kagami, and Miu Kurosaki—along with their own separate storylines, adds more depth to the world of KOF. These characters not only bring fresh fighting styles, but also play an important role in advancing the plot.

Character Emotion and Engagement

One of the highlights of the game is the emotional character building.

• Reiji Oogami carries the mission of protecting the seal of Orochi, showing the dedication and determination of a righteous warrior.
• Jun Kagami represents calmness and kindness, accompanying Miu on her journey to find Sinobu, creating emotional moments.
• Miu Kurosaki, a quiet girl with a strong inner self, does not hesitate to confront the enemy to rescue her younger brother.
• Sinobu Amou, although a timid boy, becomes a symbol of sacrifice and pain when he is exploited by Gustav’s plot.

The characters’ conflicts, motivations, and emotions not only enrich the plot, but also make the player feel more attached and sympathetic.
