Proud to have been one of the first KOFAS TH-camrs and to have stood out when in KOFAS you didn't need memories, plugins or other things to complete events, when before you only needed a character and special card. It really makes me sad how they ruined this game just by releasing such unbalanced characters, adding more complexity to the character building when it wasn't necessary. They had outdated game modes that could be used such as Team relay dungeon, Dungeon trails... anyway. It was a great game

@@2300HGaming KOFAS could work F2P but its just that just like many other games including nikke. It is more of collecting all of the characters in the end. But if the game mechanics or storyline content is not progressive or fresh that it goes to hell very quickly. I recommend trying out PGR. Game has been there for awhile but every new construct from a gacha is like driving a new car. The game was designed so that u can get every character for free as long as you did the dailies and event stuff. The other games i play even like Nikke are still doable but if you talk about collecting all of them it is almost impossible unless you are lucky. But bottom line the main thing is the game has to be always fresh and has to have a direction. NM turned marvel future revolutions into a gacha too. It was supposedly an mmorpg but they wanted to rake in the sales by making ppl spend on the companions and then upgrading those companions. The formula of it is always the same...the new one is meta. No math, no skill planning or anything to worry about. As long as u had it u are ahead of the game. U dont, then u probably going to be 1 shotted. KOFAS introduced a PVP system. As a fighting game fan (Mainly KOF and SF on console) i never liked the idea of simple mode let alone having 4 buttons ready to push and skills just come out. Hence KOFAS was always the beat em up style that got me hooked to it. Then ofcourse there were the story modes which took eons to be released. All they pushed were new characters all the time. And just like Forgo said, there are still many chars there not even in KOFAS. But instead they gave us crap like Bull Shit BS versions. I have played so many types of NM games I know their heart is not in the game content but money. Money being the priority is fine but the problem with that is as a player u know this devs will reach their $$ goal and then they will drop it like KOFAS. Just thanking our lucky stars NM is not as bad as those China Chinese gacha games. Those are still much more crazy.

Oh maaaan 😢 This game has been the Greatest love letter to Fighting games. The developers were so immensely talented and the characters were a love letter to the original characters as well as the fans. Guilty Gear, Tekken, Street Fighter 5 and 6 some of my favourite collabs in a mobile game. The reset time for me is at 6am I wake up do my dailies while getting my kids ready for school and out the door. KOFAS is the first thing I do everyday and I am sad to see it go. Thank you Forgo for your time and investment into this game and for sticking with it through the ups and downs all these years.
This game was not a fighting game. It was just a game to see what char you were using and who pushed those buttons first before in PVP lol. Ill say it is a beat em up type of game but sure as hell was not a fighting game.
As a day 1 player yes, it hurts. Even though we know that something was happening these past months, but still hurts. All we can say is that it was an amazing journey. The game has a great potential, sometimes they knew how to do it, sometimes don´t. But in the end, I had a great time! I will keep playing until the last day, and for the last day I will try to make a video on its honor.
Forgo i remember u watching for the first time way back when the first tekken collab. Kofas was my fav mobile game and i wanted to understand it then when i meet u. Love ur content and i had watched ur every single kofas video since the first tekken collab. It is sad that the game is ending but i will play it till it's end. Maybe i will start solo leveling after its end so keep making videos of it. I am looking forward to watch them
This is the last update and sadly we are not getting any more fighters... Thanks Forgo! Thank you for all of the years of entertainment you gave us while playing this game!
I'm crying from this forgo.. I really don't want this game to end dude.. we've had so many good memories in this.. i want this game to stay alive, or at least a sequel
This is really sad. I’ve been playing since before the first Street Fighter V collab… It helped me get through some tough times and I’m glad that I found channels like this one through playing the game. I’m sad to see it go, but thankful for the memories it has given me. No, Terry… I’m not ok…
I feel you, Forgo. I'm a silent supporter. You're the most entertaining content creator I've watched in KOFAS and your love for the characters (esp. Leona and Rugal) are very evident. Your pulls are a source of inspiration and laughter 🎉😅 I'm not playing that much games but I'll try to support your other videos on other games. Thanks for everything! 💯❤️
why the heck would you want an offline version? If u want to see the skills just youtube it eg. BS rugal all finishers. DUde....the offline/online mode is the real KOF game not this.
I guess this is it Forgo man. I'll be seeing you around. I'll never forget the memories i had with this community. See you all around on the next game.
Hearing this news broke me, but I kinda see it coming with how contents were done, and it's sad that they could've introduce really new characters and yet so many holes on the roster, like how we couldn't get all those KOF XV EXs despite devs promising them, plus the potential Story Mode plots. Sad that we'd never get the proper conclusion to the Ash saga in this game. On that note, this past 5 years have been a ride. That first day where I downloaded the game off of a restaurant's Wi-Fi, then progressing through all modes including all the pain in TAs, discovering you for tips on how I can overcome the dungeons and all the other stuffs, and the list went on, all within the entire years of this run. The WWE collab though will always be in my head rent-free, but big ups for the game for bringing out amazing fighting game collabs on the way too. And yes, once again, without your channel, I might not be able to get some know-hows on stuff. I thank you for providing viewers (me included) insights on various stuffs for the game! Unfortunately, this might be my first and last gacha game I play, for now. I'm not sure if I'd ever be into gacha games again but one thing's for sure: my only major mobile game left will be Real Racing 3 come October 30th.
Tbh It's their Fault that the game became like this. Especially I have my Speculation that the game will shut down soon ever since they released awful Power Creep System EX and UE Characters making the entire game Unbalanced unlike it's early Days when Fes and Golden Border Characters where the go to go Deals was an amazing time of KOFAS But my time playing this game would basically go away it's really sad and really Frustrating I just hope that they pass the game to other Devs that will continue the service for a couple of year or Atleast make the game playable as an Offline game..
Yeah the powercreep so high Hopefully in the feature like 5 years from now its King of fighters allstar 2 in the making cuz the game is too damn good to died and one of the best fighting mobile game i ever played
They should have NEVER brought in the UE's. It came in so soon after EXs too, making EXs obsolete right away. They should have promoted more EX memories, and introduced more characters. Even without collabs, there was so much that was still available. Why not more Samurai Showdown fighters? Why not more of the XIV and XV fighters? Times like this I wish I finished my game design degree.
@@travisfields157 It's a really a bad Decision making for them they always Stick with the Poster Boys like Kyo and Iori I literally saw Tung Fu Rue on Shun'Ei Story and I was Hoping Damn Thats Master Roshi!!! But no they didn't even made Tun Fu Rue Playable... Instead they focus more on copy pasted Characters. It's sad there many so many King of Fighter Universe Characters and they didn't explore those Characters I be honest I think CM Yuri should have not been the one handling this Game instead pick a real Fighting Game Developer to make the Decision of the story and how the Characters should have been introduced and they should have implemented More Balance Works.
I'm not buying their excuse of running out of fighters. Nah, I'm fully in the belief that the game is ending due to lack of revenue from the players quitting the game because it's a casino, not an actual game.
The game became a mess, I remember the good old days when max cp was around 15k and you needed to do was go get a character and make it reach it to level 90.
Kinda wish the fighters were just the fighters, and the different game designs were their skins. What I'm saying is, i just wish they did it the fighters kit like in Brawl Stars. A fighter, their skills, their special skills, and skins
I saw it on Twitter and thought you'd have a video, It's a game I loved and had issues with. I hope there's a place that archived this game. Forgo, thanks for all of your efforts.
Really hurts to see this, almost 6 years of service and the game has finally come to the end, really great memories we had for the past years and all of the collab's we had, I was expecting to get more fighters in the future and the dev note came out of nowhere, after playing kofas from day 1, it finally has come to an end, so let us enjoy kofas until october.
Yeah! Thank God MSA Reloaded is better than the original. Hope I'll buy it soon because I'm still at behest of my parents not letting me buy priced games
So, End of Service is actually came out to be true? Well, that's actually sad, really... I was waited for UE Leona, and she came out. Got her A3, but shit, after 4-5 months the game will be closed... But still, these 2 years of me playing KOFAS was great. Super great. Never forget those days I spend my rubies for my favorite characters, especially for Leona. My EX Leona's A9 fully, and now I motivated to A9 her UE version, Orochi Leona, and UE Kyo aswell before the game closed in October 30th. Forgo, thank you so much for making a content about KOFAS, it's really means for me a lot.
7:38 I feel just like you Forgo, this game made me remember my arcade days. It has to be something else. No Joe,Andy,Ralph or Clark. Kim... there's plenty of fighters that haven't gotten a proper upgrade but nothing lasts forever. I will miss this great game.
I already quit few months after SF last year. The powercreep was too fast in this game, considering u kinda need A5 characters to even access A7, which is huge boost for the character. There were no easy EX memory to help the limit break for long time (not sure if they have it now or not). Getting gacha character to A5 with gacha alone is really hard and expensive. It would be kinda fine maybe if they didnt get powercrept within few months, like 2-3 months. Like akuma already got powercrept when next collab happened (tekken iirc)
Although it has its gripes, this is genuinely the longest game I’ve ever played consistently, for nearly 4 or 5 years I think, and for the most part I genuinely enjoyed it. It’s bittersweet in a way, they left so much content for us to enjoy in their last moments. Thank you KOFAS and ofc thank you Forgo
i too feel the same forgo... its sad and hard for this game to end.. with heavy heart i do said thank you to kofas team.. and also for u forgo for many info/tips on kofas game... sadly to said.. gonna miss this game for sure
A journey I don't want it to end . Best fighting game in mobile . Childhood memories painful to say goodbye .Thanks Forgo for your hard work , best contents and for the memories . thank you NM . I was waiting for Magaki buff hahaha
What it all comes down to is money. And It's the teams fault for not listening to content creators with the feedback we have given them. We are telling that we want and they ignored us time and time again. That's why the game did bad financially recently. And what's crazy is this is the best gameplay and content fighting game on mobile. So it's crazy to have a goldmine of a game like this ending. It sucks man. Being a day one player on my channel too. Looks like I'll have to make a farewell kofas video with all the characters. I'm sure someone will figure a way to crack the game on pc and have an offline version. Fingers crossed the community can keep it alive somehow.
Honest speaking after listening to KOFAS going to end I start crying but yes I will play this game till the end as I have also given time from long time 😢😢😢
It's a sad day indeed, I used to play Tekken mobile and that game got shutdown, and now its KOF All Stars. The best part about KOF All Stars was collabs, I honestly don't think I'll ever play any mobile game ever again
If anyone knows how to capture the game's images (especially the cards) without using a screenshot, let me know! I tried to locate the game files on the computer, but they are not located there. I didn't want to have to take a print, but if this is a last resort, I'll have to do it.
During the update while I was doing my summons, Ive been lucky to get a streak of UE fighters around 13 UE streaks. I was like "What is happening in this upd?"
Previously suspected to be closed due to Slow release of new hero commercials, sometimes no video or writing update games, preview new hero, - No collab, because collab company needs to spend a lot of money to put in the game KOFAS. , No collab is a bad sign New Hero UE comes out, which suspects the company lacks money and people to produce, Most KOF producers and developers switch to another netmable game, Solo Leveling: Arise - The company's revenue fell sharply compared to previous years Short talk about bankruptcy😢
That's the reason why I'm scared to put money in these games especially good games that caught my attention just for it to die on us I didn't even get all the EX characters but at least I got one of my favorite ex characters I can't even enjoy this update because I was literally crying like I love this game so much
I wouldn't look at it that way. Putting money in a gacha is no different than spending money to buy a movie digitally, or going on a trip. You paid for the entertainment. Yeah, the movie is yours, but you'll watch it how many times? I never felt bad about rewarding the devs with a little extra because of the work they gave for my entertainment. I just wish they invested more into new characters (ones we've never had), and I would have paid more.
@@travisfields157a gacha is hardly comparable to owning a piece of entertainment and quite ridiculous to suggest so. If buy a DVD, I own that media until I do something with it. If buy something in this game, and the game shut down, guess what? I no longer access to the product. It is not the same.
@kingozone Disagree, because with the DVD, you're going to watch it a few times, and there it sits. Oh, you can sell it, but it's a loss all the same. If you think about it, gacha was better because you get nothing else with a DVD. With a gacha, you get updated content every month. Despite it being gone, entertainment wise, you got more out of that than you ever got with the DVD. We're just spoiled to think everything should be free.
This hurts so much. I didn't know about the shutdown until I logged in a week ago after not playing for a year or two. I've spent all my resources in-game just to get as many fighters as I can for the sake of it. I haven't been so addicted to a mobile game since Puzzle & Dragons. King Of Fighters Allstars with always be one of the best mobile games I've played ever.
o7 KOFAS , I will never forget this game. KOFAS has been with me for nearly 6 years. I miss the time when there were no BS, SS, and EX. PVP was very interesting. There were no messy effects. We really had a lot of fun playing it. And I was also surprised that so many people watched me play the game, haha
Netmarble's other KOF mobile game seems to be shutting down around the same time, so I take it this is something that's outta Netmarble's hands, I think NM just couldn't get SNK to renew the license. Sucks to see, still. All I can hope is that a fan makes some account extraction tools and a private server. I'd like to continue playing with my characters even after the official servers shut down and game preservation is important to me.
It's been over a year since I stopped playing kofas and now I had a thought of checking and I see your video it would seem the game hasn't changed at all.
been playing this since 2020 damn i work so hard getting new collab characters icons from different kof games and now here it is good bye kof all star 2018 - 2024😔😔
I was excited to see the new update of O. Iori until reading their notice, which breaks my heart instantly... 💔 They did a great job on Lin, Shun nei, Leong, Oswald, Shen Woo, Isla, as well as a breakthrough to release 2003 story. I wish they could continue the rest of the Ash saga, XIV, XV storylines, as well as more fighters that were featured after the Nests Saga, such as Tizoc (King of Falcons or Dinosaurs), Malin, Duck King, South American team, the other two fighters who teamed with Nakoruru, Tung Ru Fei, Meitenkun, and even Kukri... But... this is the end of the journey...
damn this.. i waqs able to A7 IORI and LADY CHANG , my problem now where can i get the imprint stones. there's no reward for imprint stones even crafting system for star and moon stone
First I enjoyed playing brave frointeir as a kid then it went down and I still cant let go of that game,so much evolutions and character were left to collect,but at least I finished main story as I hd a feeling that I'll just finish it,just in case...and thank God I listened to myself and went with it. This game was changed for brave frointeir as I enjoyed playing this gacha game,it made me became a kof fan as I enjoyed watching old versions,all bosses from games fight,etc and I've met nameless,a masterpiece that had been forgotten and replaced but seeing this news had upsetted me and reminded me of back when the announcement was made for brave frointeir and now I'm going to lose this game just how I did with brave frointeir,such sadness.. I was looking forward to see OP version of nameless made or at least crossover with tekken 8 to add Reina,Azucena and Victor and Lydia in the update. No wonder I was excited about 125 days update then had a suspicious thought to check what's going on and TH-cam hits me with this video,we will miss you kof allstars,good times((I've rejoined only when virtua fighter crossover update came and played onward and I'm glad I did...)
They choose Lady Chang with THX on her headband as a way of saying thanks to all the players of Kofas. The CEO is a Korean, same with Lady Chang's nationality. Thank you for the six years Kofas. I don't know if this is still playable offline. Mobile legends which has a lower ratings compares to Kofas but still up and running and use in Evo Asia. Let's see on the 30th of October. As well as the forum. Godspeed.
So the services will be down ? Also is there a place where all the KOF All Star artwork is stored in high definition. Im asking since a lot of the character art are the definitive versions of the characters.
Man I just downloaded this game today and I got already hooked, I've been playing for 3 hours now. Just searched on youtube for some tips and then I saw this video. Didn't know I only have few days left to play.
It's so heartbreaking to watch KOFAS die. I played and spent a lot of money with this game because I love it so much but it really hurts that this is the end of it. THANK YOU KOFAS for the memories for the last 4 years of my life! :(
This is why we need to go back to physical media I've gone through this too many times I spent so many hours and too much money on this game just for it to disappear into the night with all my progress
Forgo cheer up, it sucks that kofas is ending and you are one of those kofas youtubers that give information : ). Goodluck on the next road on TH-cam Forgo, luckily you have a variety of games here in your channel
Hello Forgo i hope you still remember me and its sad KOFAS is going to end soon i once got into a memory lane of 2019 by watching yournold videos that tou Haven't do a face reveal back then and im also a player who is Obsessed with Orochi iori i have made alot as in alot of good memories from this wonderful game back then i was grade a grade 9 student and now im going to be a 2nd year Colleges oh my god time flies really fast not gonna lie and i once i saw this video i suddenly shed a tear of how many time has passed
I really, REALLY hope this game gets the X DiVE treatment and gets an offline version (Yeah they'd remove the crossover characters but at least the game would be saved from becoming abandonware)
AS a lot of us fans of the KoF series and this game suspected, this isn't a surprising revelation. It hurts for sure, especially after the last, awesome SF6 collab. Now, as for not having enough fighters out there in the game to make good characters of? That is BS. Ralf, Clark, Ryo, Mai, Vanessa, Rugal, Geese, Rock, Najd just to name a few characters that could have had a UE version of them tossed into the game before it ended. It is as good excuse as any to shut down your game. They just should be transparent about it instead of lying. I played this thing from nearly the beginning where Halloween Shermi, Angel and Mature dropped, and it was a wild, but ultimately fun ride.
This game was one of the few games I actually enjoyed playing I only stopped when they started slowing down update content after the sf6 update like damn
Been playing since 2020, knowing that I come back atleast once a year and coming back to my favorite characters. To now waiting for the end of the game that made me enjoy my time during quarantine. Sadly I will miss KOFAS 😢
That explains why the sudden generosity by netmarble to give us all those choices to pull selected characters, and even removed payable rubies… if thats the case they shld just make it a lot easier to pull orochi iori… but no… they throw insane bosses events and weird bingos ans shit that make u grind like crazy to wonder if u’ll even complete them with those 7 tries, and if it will reset attempts.. Awful way to close a game by making the final items shit hard to obtain. At least soon we can all not have to daily grind those dumb rubies for crap drop rates. It was a fun run, but time to move on.
To the future,even though kofas content will be no more,i will always watch your other content forgo. You are my teacher on this game, giving many advice for this game. Love this game, played it from released
I knew this would happen and unfortunately that time is now. I may not have been a Day 1 player, but I love the KOF series. It was awesome to see it have a mobile game for me to get my favorite characters. And seeing how they implement some mechanic or game modes are really interesting. But it is around the UE rarity getting implemented to the game where I started to lose interest. Constant power creep and no events for us to grind rubies is not a good move to me at all. I've been a F2P veteran ever since the FES Orochi Iori and Leona banner. Seeing this news is really saddening but right now it is kinda obvious. Still tho, this game has given me a good amount of joy and I'll certainly never forget this game. But if it's possible, please do have an offline version. The reason we even ask for one for the first place because we still love this game to a point. But only time will tell.
It breaks my heart to see this game shutting down it's server. We've never got any UE Versions of Joe Higashi, Robert Garcia, Sie Kensou, Heavy D, Lucky Glauber, Brian Battler, the list goes on. Might as well make the most of it until the last day. T^T
Hey Forgon, just finished watching Alex's videos. Although I never played the game it looks cool. I'm sorry for you and all the players that enjoyed playing this game. Knowing that someday that will happen to mff. It really is too bad when it happens. Take care too ❤

Thank you Forgo for your time and investment into this game and for sticking with it through the ups and downs all these years.

If One Piece ambition comes global, it's gonna blow it away 😂

This is really sad. I’ve been playing since before the first Street Fighter V collab… It helped me get through some tough times and I’m glad that I found channels like this one through playing the game.
I’m sad to see it go, but thankful for the memories it has given me.
No, Terry… I’m not ok…
I feel you, Forgo. I'm a silent supporter. You're the most entertaining content creator I've watched in KOFAS and your love for the characters (esp. Leona and Rugal) are very evident. Your pulls are a source of inspiration and laughter 🎉😅
I'm not playing that much games but I'll try to support your other videos on other games.
Thanks for everything! 💯❤️
Man I haven’t logged in several months but the memories and time spent I will miss. Thank you as always for the update Forgo!
I really really hope that we are getting an offline version
Not likely, considering all the other IPs they're working on. I believe they're just going to shift all the resources for that.
Same 😢
Probably, same with the previous Marvel games. Still playable apparently.
why the heck would you want an offline version? If u want to see the skills just youtube it eg. BS rugal all finishers.
DUde....the offline/online mode is the real KOF game not this.
I guess this is it Forgo man. I'll be seeing you around. I'll never forget the memories i had with this community. See you all around on the next game.
I see the pain in your heart, it shows on your face and I feel the same! I'm so sorry!
Hearing this news broke me, but I kinda see it coming with how contents were done, and it's sad that they could've introduce really new characters and yet so many holes on the roster, like how we couldn't get all those KOF XV EXs despite devs promising them, plus the potential Story Mode plots. Sad that we'd never get the proper conclusion to the Ash saga in this game.
On that note, this past 5 years have been a ride. That first day where I downloaded the game off of a restaurant's Wi-Fi, then progressing through all modes including all the pain in TAs, discovering you for tips on how I can overcome the dungeons and all the other stuffs, and the list went on, all within the entire years of this run. The WWE collab though will always be in my head rent-free, but big ups for the game for bringing out amazing fighting game collabs on the way too.
And yes, once again, without your channel, I might not be able to get some know-hows on stuff. I thank you for providing viewers (me included) insights on various stuffs for the game!
Unfortunately, this might be my first and last gacha game I play, for now. I'm not sure if I'd ever be into gacha games again but one thing's for sure: my only major mobile game left will be Real Racing 3 come October 30th.
I hope SNK finds a way to preserve this gem it's literally the Super Smash Bros of mobile games imo.
Tbh It's their Fault that the game became like this. Especially I have my Speculation that the game will shut down soon ever since they released awful Power Creep System EX and UE Characters making the entire game Unbalanced unlike it's early Days when Fes and Golden Border Characters where the go to go Deals was an amazing time of KOFAS But my time playing this game would basically go away it's really sad and really Frustrating I just hope that they pass the game to other Devs that will continue the service for a couple of year or Atleast make the game playable as an Offline game..
Yeah the powercreep so high
Hopefully in the feature like 5 years from now its King of fighters allstar 2 in the making cuz the game is too damn good to died and one of the best fighting mobile game i ever played
They should have NEVER brought in the UE's. It came in so soon after EXs too, making EXs obsolete right away. They should have promoted more EX memories, and introduced more characters. Even without collabs, there was so much that was still available. Why not more Samurai Showdown fighters? Why not more of the XIV and XV fighters? Times like this I wish I finished my game design degree.
@@travisfields157 It's a really a bad Decision making for them they always Stick with the Poster Boys like Kyo and Iori I literally saw Tung Fu Rue on Shun'Ei Story and I was Hoping Damn Thats Master Roshi!!! But no they didn't even made Tun Fu Rue Playable... Instead they focus more on copy pasted Characters. It's sad there many so many King of Fighter Universe Characters and they didn't explore those Characters I be honest I think CM Yuri should have not been the one handling this Game instead pick a real Fighting Game Developer to make the Decision of the story and how the Characters should have been introduced and they should have implemented More Balance Works.
Thank God, Metal Slug Attack Reloaded (the rebrand of MSA for all platforms except mobile) removed the powercreep from the original through rebalance
I'm not buying their excuse of running out of fighters. Nah, I'm fully in the belief that the game is ending due to lack of revenue from the players quitting the game because it's a casino, not an actual game.
The game became a mess, I remember the good old days when max cp was around 15k and you needed to do was go get a character and make it reach it to level 90.
@@junaidmughal3806 It seems so distant now... F
Rite u could've have garou mark of the characters..like Kim dounghan, .and etc u got characters...
Kinda wish the fighters were just the fighters, and the different game designs were their skins. What I'm saying is, i just wish they did it the fighters kit like in Brawl Stars. A fighter, their skills, their special skills, and skins
I saw it on Twitter and thought you'd have a video, It's a game I loved and had issues with. I hope there's a place that archived this game. Forgo, thanks for all of your efforts.
Awwwwww shxt man!!! I teared up 😢
They could’ve gave us Mr.Karate, D, fxxkin K’
Really hurts to see this, almost 6 years of service and the game has finally come to the end, really great memories we had for the past years and all of the collab's we had, I was expecting to get more fighters in the future and the dev note came out of nowhere, after playing kofas from day 1, it finally has come to an end, so let us enjoy kofas until october.
I think we should have the offline version like Megaman X Dive and Metal Slug Attack.
Hopefully 🙏💯
netmarble ain't that type of company
Yeah! Thank God MSA Reloaded is better than the original. Hope I'll buy it soon because I'm still at behest of my parents not letting me buy priced games
@@alyasVictorio Also, it's just 9.99 unlike X Dive.
I remember when the TEKKEN app got closed down and they told us all to play KOF instead. So many memories with this game, sad to see it go.
So, End of Service is actually came out to be true? Well, that's actually sad, really... I was waited for UE Leona, and she came out. Got her A3, but shit, after 4-5 months the game will be closed...
But still, these 2 years of me playing KOFAS was great. Super great. Never forget those days I spend my rubies for my favorite characters, especially for Leona. My EX Leona's A9 fully, and now I motivated to A9 her UE version, Orochi Leona, and UE Kyo aswell before the game closed in October 30th.
Forgo, thank you so much for making a content about KOFAS, it's really means for me a lot.
If only they make this game can be play Offline after shut down server
Forgo all we can do is pray for a miracle
7:38 I feel just like you Forgo, this game made me remember my arcade days. It has to be something else. No Joe,Andy,Ralph or Clark. Kim... there's plenty of fighters that haven't gotten a proper upgrade but nothing lasts forever. I will miss this great game.
I already quit few months after SF last year. The powercreep was too fast in this game, considering u kinda need A5 characters to even access A7, which is huge boost for the character.
There were no easy EX memory to help the limit break for long time (not sure if they have it now or not). Getting gacha character to A5 with gacha alone is really hard and expensive. It would be kinda fine maybe if they didnt get powercrept within few months, like 2-3 months. Like akuma already got powercrept when next collab happened (tekken iirc)
I will miss 4-5 years ago when every video from Forgonation I went to watch automatically. Thanks bro, it was a nice ride friend.
Although it has its gripes, this is genuinely the longest game I’ve ever played consistently, for nearly 4 or 5 years I think, and for the most part I genuinely enjoyed it. It’s bittersweet in a way, they left so much content for us to enjoy in their last moments. Thank you KOFAS and ofc thank you Forgo
i too feel the same forgo... its sad and hard for this game to end.. with heavy heart i do said thank you to kofas team.. and also for u forgo for many info/tips on kofas game... sadly to said.. gonna miss this game for sure
A journey I don't want it to end . Best fighting game in mobile . Childhood memories painful to say goodbye .Thanks Forgo for your hard work , best contents and for the memories . thank you NM . I was waiting for Magaki buff hahaha
What it all comes down to is money. And It's the teams fault for not listening to content creators with the feedback we have given them. We are telling that we want and they ignored us time and time again. That's why the game did bad financially recently. And what's crazy is this is the best gameplay and content fighting game on mobile. So it's crazy to have a goldmine of a game like this ending. It sucks man. Being a day one player on my channel too. Looks like I'll have to make a farewell kofas video with all the characters. I'm sure someone will figure a way to crack the game on pc and have an offline version. Fingers crossed the community can keep it alive somehow.
Honest speaking after listening to KOFAS going to end I start crying but yes I will play this game till the end as I have also given time from long time 😢😢😢
I hope we get some miracle that they renewed the contract
@@MUGO706 Me too bro I'm praying to God bro
@user-xo7fr3se2u bro is there any possibility so that this game will continue like some probability
It's a sad day indeed, I used to play Tekken mobile and that game got shutdown, and now its KOF All Stars. The best part about KOF All Stars was collabs, I honestly don't think I'll ever play any mobile game ever again
I'm going to now max up all my characters, use all my items, go through all my towers, then call it a day.
Saw it coming. Just hope they would do a art dump with all the artwork in hi-res for fans to download. Something like a press kit.
This is why I've been out of kofas for a long time, because seeing repetitive updates makes a dead end for the future of kofas
I was 4 years late to the party. But what a journey it has been. Great job, 5 years is a great run.
If anyone knows how to capture the game's images (especially the cards) without using a screenshot, let me know! I tried to locate the game files on the computer, but they are not located there. I didn't want to have to take a print, but if this is a last resort, I'll have to do it.
During the update while I was doing my summons, Ive been lucky to get a streak of UE fighters around 13 UE streaks. I was like "What is happening in this upd?"
Previously suspected to be closed due to
Slow release of new hero commercials, sometimes no video or writing update games, preview new hero,
- No collab, because collab company needs to spend a lot of money to put in the game KOFAS. , No collab is a bad sign
New Hero UE comes out, which suspects the company lacks money and people to produce,
Most KOF producers and developers switch to another netmable game, Solo Leveling: Arise
- The company's revenue fell sharply compared to previous years
Short talk about bankruptcy😢
That's the reason why I'm scared to put money in these games especially good games that caught my attention just for it to die on us I didn't even get all the EX characters but at least I got one of my favorite ex characters I can't even enjoy this update because I was literally crying like I love this game so much
I wouldn't look at it that way. Putting money in a gacha is no different than spending money to buy a movie digitally, or going on a trip. You paid for the entertainment. Yeah, the movie is yours, but you'll watch it how many times? I never felt bad about rewarding the devs with a little extra because of the work they gave for my entertainment. I just wish they invested more into new characters (ones we've never had), and I would have paid more.
@@travisfields157 you may be right
@@travisfields157a gacha is hardly comparable to owning a piece of entertainment and quite ridiculous to suggest so. If buy a DVD, I own that media until I do something with it. If buy something in this game, and the game shut down, guess what? I no longer access to the product. It is not the same.
@@eddyxcx3514he's not. Buying digital assets in a game that is at the mercy of the devs is the not the same as buying a digital movie.
@kingozone Disagree, because with the DVD, you're going to watch it a few times, and there it sits. Oh, you can sell it, but it's a loss all the same. If you think about it, gacha was better because you get nothing else with a DVD. With a gacha, you get updated content every month. Despite it being gone, entertainment wise, you got more out of that than you ever got with the DVD. We're just spoiled to think everything should be free.
Orochi Chris, Orochi Shermie & Orochi Yashiro were my absolute favourites!! O.Chris's burst damage was something else.. Loved him
This hurts so much. I didn't know about the shutdown until I logged in a week ago after not playing for a year or two. I've spent all my resources in-game just to get as many fighters as I can for the sake of it. I haven't been so addicted to a mobile game since Puzzle & Dragons. King Of Fighters Allstars with always be one of the best mobile games I've played ever.
o7 KOFAS , I will never forget this game.
KOFAS has been with me for nearly 6 years.
I miss the time when there were no BS, SS, and EX. PVP was very interesting.
There were no messy effects. We really had a lot of fun playing it.
And I was also surprised that so many people watched me play the game, haha
Snow i hope NM Decisions change to not continue EoS
Netmarble's other KOF mobile game seems to be shutting down around the same time, so I take it this is something that's outta Netmarble's hands, I think NM just couldn't get SNK to renew the license. Sucks to see, still.
All I can hope is that a fan makes some account extraction tools and a private server. I'd like to continue playing with my characters even after the official servers shut down and game preservation is important to me.
It's been over a year since I stopped playing kofas and now I had a thought of checking and I see your video it would seem the game hasn't changed at all.
been playing this since 2020 damn i work so hard getting new collab characters icons from different kof games and now here it is good bye kof all star 2018 - 2024😔😔
I was excited to see the new update of O. Iori until reading their notice, which breaks my heart instantly... 💔
They did a great job on Lin, Shun nei, Leong, Oswald, Shen Woo, Isla, as well as a breakthrough to release 2003 story.
I wish they could continue the rest of the Ash saga, XIV, XV storylines, as well as more fighters that were featured after the Nests Saga, such as Tizoc (King of Falcons or Dinosaurs), Malin, Duck King, South American team, the other two fighters who teamed with Nakoruru, Tung Ru Fei, Meitenkun, and even Kukri...
But... this is the end of the journey...
In my head, I was thinking okay, we can get Solo Levelling crossover, but then I read the notes for servers shutting down and I was bummed
Deeply Saddened by this news! Never thought this was gonna happen.. it was my stress buster but not anymore.. I'm sad, just sad!!
damn this.. i waqs able to A7 IORI and LADY CHANG , my problem now where can i get the imprint stones. there's no reward for imprint stones even crafting system for star and moon stone
First I enjoyed playing brave frointeir as a kid then it went down and I still cant let go of that game,so much evolutions and character were left to collect,but at least I finished main story as I hd a feeling that I'll just finish it,just in case...and thank God I listened to myself and went with it.
This game was changed for brave frointeir as I enjoyed playing this gacha game,it made me became a kof fan as I enjoyed watching old versions,all bosses from games fight,etc and I've met nameless,a masterpiece that had been forgotten and replaced but seeing this news had upsetted me and reminded me of back when the announcement was made for brave frointeir and now I'm going to lose this game just how I did with brave frointeir,such sadness..
I was looking forward to see OP version of nameless made or at least crossover with tekken 8 to add Reina,Azucena and Victor and Lydia in the update. No wonder I was excited about 125 days update then had a suspicious thought to check what's going on and TH-cam hits me with this video,we will miss you kof allstars,good times((I've rejoined only when virtua fighter crossover update came and played onward and I'm glad I did...)
zamn I still remember the first collab
2 thing's
After the random Leona release I saw this coming I mean we all did.
Solo Leveling massively hurts all the other Netmarble Games.
This game ended a week before I found about this, I didn’t hear about this anymore
They choose Lady Chang with THX on her headband as a way of saying thanks to all the players of Kofas. The CEO is a Korean, same with Lady Chang's nationality. Thank you for the six years Kofas. I don't know if this is still playable offline. Mobile legends which has a lower ratings compares to Kofas but still up and running and use in Evo Asia. Let's see on the 30th of October. As well as the forum. Godspeed.
So the services will be down ? Also is there a place where all the KOF All Star artwork is stored in high definition. Im asking since a lot of the character art are the definitive versions of the characters.
It's sad that I was at the last chapter of the story and it suddenly ended and I didn't even know it will end😢
Man I just downloaded this game today and I got already hooked, I've been playing for 3 hours now. Just searched on youtube for some tips and then I saw this video. Didn't know I only have few days left to play.
I LIERALLY came back to the game this morning, only to come back to this. :C
It's so heartbreaking to watch KOFAS die. I played and spent a lot of money with this game because I love it so much but it really hurts that this is the end of it. THANK YOU KOFAS for the memories for the last 4 years of my life! :(
How can I get all the characters animated wallpapers? I at least want to hold their nice works.
What the? I just came back after 1 year break and then i saw this news like... i am heartbroken right now
Man and I gave them a lot just for max classic Cammy. Oh well was fun while it lasted.
This is why we need to go back to physical media I've gone through this too many times I spent so many hours and too much money on this game just for it to disappear into the night with all my progress
would it be awesome if they rerun all previous banners with unlimited pulls on the last day, just for the last time we can enjoy the game
Forgo cheer up, it sucks that kofas is ending and you are one of those kofas youtubers that give information : ). Goodluck on the next road on TH-cam Forgo, luckily you have a variety of games here in your channel
i left that game about 2 years ago and now i saw this💔
Hello Forgo i hope you still remember me
and its sad KOFAS is going to end soon i once got into a memory lane of 2019 by watching yournold videos that tou Haven't do a face reveal back then and im also a player who is Obsessed with Orochi iori i have made alot as in alot of good memories from this wonderful game back then i was grade a grade 9 student and now im going to be a 2nd year Colleges oh my god time flies really fast not gonna lie and i once i saw this video i suddenly shed a tear of how many time has passed
I really, REALLY hope this game gets the X DiVE treatment and gets an offline version (Yeah they'd remove the crossover characters but at least the game would be saved from becoming abandonware)
Its time to said Goodbye all😢😢😢😢📵📴
It was a fun ride. I played this during Covid..Thank you Kofas. Thank you Forgo!
AS a lot of us fans of the KoF series and this game suspected, this isn't a surprising revelation. It hurts for sure, especially after the last, awesome SF6 collab. Now, as for not having enough fighters out there in the game to make good characters of? That is BS. Ralf, Clark, Ryo, Mai, Vanessa, Rugal, Geese, Rock, Najd just to name a few characters that could have had a UE version of them tossed into the game before it ended. It is as good excuse as any to shut down your game. They just should be transparent about it instead of lying. I played this thing from nearly the beginning where Halloween Shermi, Angel and Mature dropped, and it was a wild, but ultimately fun ride.
It hurts But it hurts so Bad I couldn't take it. Iam broke. I have given my everything all these years to Kofas. Finally comes to resting in peace 😢
It's ok Kenneth.. I have been seeing u.. 🫂
is there a way to get all the animated character wallpapers of this game? I want to at least hold the nice arts.
So player are not able to login after 31/10/2024...?
This game was one of the few games I actually enjoyed playing I only stopped when they started slowing down update content after the sf6 update like damn
Fuck this company. I got a message saying I owe them £99 for unpayed rubies. Been playing since launch and never seen this. I wonder why now!!?
Been playing since 2020, knowing that I come back atleast once a year and coming back to my favorite characters. To now waiting for the end of the game that made me enjoy my time during quarantine. Sadly I will miss KOFAS 😢
One of the reasons I don't put money into gachas, E.O.S. RIP KOFAS man
That explains why the sudden generosity by netmarble to give us all those choices to pull selected characters, and even removed payable rubies… if thats the case they shld just make it a lot easier to pull orochi iori… but no… they throw insane bosses events and weird bingos ans shit that make u grind like crazy to wonder if u’ll even complete them with those 7 tries, and if it will reset attempts..
Awful way to close a game by making the final items shit hard to obtain. At least soon we can all not have to daily grind those dumb rubies for crap drop rates.
It was a fun run, but time to move on.
all i wanted to say is, I've met a lot of people cuz of this game including you man, and that is one thing we cannot argue that kofas did right.
Saw it coming since last year. Said it in the forums. Player's loled at that time. Knew it was coming definitely when they rerun old ue chars. 😔
To the future,even though kofas content will be no more,i will always watch your other content forgo. You are my teacher on this game, giving many advice for this game.
Love this game, played it from released
Any way to still play when servers go down
Man, this truly, truly stings. 😞😞😞
"All I wanna say is that they don't really care about us" - Michael Jackson
I knew this would happen and unfortunately that time is now.
I may not have been a Day 1 player, but I love the KOF series. It was awesome to see it have a mobile game for me to get my favorite characters. And seeing how they implement some mechanic or game modes are really interesting.
But it is around the UE rarity getting implemented to the game where I started to lose interest. Constant power creep and no events for us to grind rubies is not a good move to me at all.
I've been a F2P veteran ever since the FES Orochi Iori and Leona banner. Seeing this news is really saddening but right now it is kinda obvious. Still tho, this game has given me a good amount of joy and I'll certainly never forget this game. But if it's possible, please do have an offline version. The reason we even ask for one for the first place because we still love this game to a point. But only time will tell.
Wait so we won't get other updates like after orochi iori we will get another character??
They could also create video game original characters like seven deadly sins grand cross and dragon ball legends.
It breaks my heart to see this game shutting down it's server. We've never got any UE Versions of Joe Higashi, Robert Garcia, Sie Kensou, Heavy D, Lucky Glauber, Brian Battler, the list goes on. Might as well make the most of it until the last day. T^T
I was so close to buying some packs for leona, glad i hesitated, well, it was nice while it lasted.
Hey Forgon, just finished watching Alex's videos. Although I never played the game it looks cool. I'm sorry for you and all the players that enjoyed playing this game. Knowing that someday that will happen to mff. It really is too bad when it happens. Take care too ❤
