The King of Fighters '98 is now available on iOS and Android, so if kicking and punching are your cup of tea, you could well be in for a bit of a treat.

The game is essentially a compilation of KOF '94'97, bringing together a bunch of characters from the series, including some who were dead by '98, and pitting them against each other in a plot-less fight to the death.

There are four and six button control methods, and the game is compatible with Bluetooth controllers, so you can use actual real-life buttons to kick and punch your friends in the face.

With two game modes, as well as a training dojo to test your skills in, and 38 characters to choose from, this is a pretty impressive 2D retro-brawling package.

The game is out right now on the App Store for £2.49 / $3.99 [buy] and on the Google Play Store for the same price [buy].
