About This Retro Game
As the second game in the 'Fu'un' series, Kizuna Encounter expanded on Savage Reign's mechanics with new tag-team gameplay and 10 playable characters, each with distinct fighting styles.
The game's 'Kizuna' system allowed partners to perform powerful combination attacks when their energy gauges were full, creating dramatic comebacks.
Though less famous than other SNK fighters, Kizuna Encounter is prized by collectors for its rarity and innovative tag mechanics that predated Marvel vs. Capcom's system.
