About the story
The story takes place between the events of The King of Fighters XIV and XV. Following the previous King of Fighters tournament, several female fighters suddenly fall unconscious. Upon waking, they find themselves in a strange mansion, along with some male fighters who have been changed into women. The mastermind, Kukri, announces that he has trapped them in his castle in a pocket dimension, and they must battle each other for a chance to return home. He secretly plans to use the energy generated from their fights to empower an ancient statue in the castle that will merge his pocket dimension with the real world, allowing him to gather more women into his collection. When only two fighters remain, Kukri confronts them directly to obtain the last bit of energy needed, but is defeated by the two heroines. Kukri has a mental breakdown and escapes as the pocket dimension collapses, and all the fighters are returned to their dreams shortly before reawakening.

Critic Reviews

By Jordan MichealSNK Heroines is a soulless and embarrassing game pandering to an audience that doesn't exist. The perfect gift for your worst enemy.
Nindie Spotlight
By Nindie SpotlightPrecisely what the target audience may be for this fighting game is hard for me to say, its weird dress-up elements not being quite as controversial as the watered down mechanics of it all. The thing is, if for whatever reason you get a kick out of the ability to customize your fighters looks to a degree this unique feature (or at least the all-female roster) may well be a selling point. Overall it’s just a decent fighter up against a pretty wide spectrum of titles from more traditional to modern and more hardcore to mainstream, sitting somewhere roughly in the middle across the board.

By Sancho CanelaSNK Heorines is a game for fans of these fighters who like to collect objects. The game itself did not have to be bad for using the sexualization of the fighters as the main attraction. This is not criticized here, what is criticized is the lack of emotion in the fighting and the lack of ambition on the part of SNK to release a more elaborate and better product.

By Greg HicksI’d say play SNK Heroines Tag Team Frenzy if you’re a die hard SNK fan, or you fancy something new for your pugilist palette, or just in the market for a random weekend game to play with friends. Just don’t expect anything revolutionary. Or tell your mother what you’ve spent your money on.
