Should we make a new thread for this game only?

A thread for KOF game zakos (KOF Destiny, KOF World and KOF All-Stars)? Why not. Let's make one!!
Or maybe a thread for mobile game zakos?

Tsukachan Nice post, and thank you for the link. I think it would be a great idea since we can easily find your updates under a separate thread.

Sure thing pal. This thread will be called "Mobile Game Zakos", and it will contain updates for mobile beat 'em up, MMOs and action RPG games with zakos especially KOF Destiny and KOF All-Stars. I'll make it as soon as possible!!

i know this could go on the zako artwork page (sort of ), but here is some screenshots by a pixiv artist of him/her playing a game or three. can anyone identify the game? cause i can't yet i am interested in possibly playing it. there have been several comments in these screenshots asking what the game is (i even made one of these comments) but no one has gotten an answer (at least not in the comments).

I have 2 hypothesis, It's maybe a Hitman's game or a Sniper Elite game, with of course, the model change
and for 58, it's the Punisher game with also the model change since I don't remember fighting geisha in it (maybe they appear in background at the end, don't remember )

The one set in the 1960s as well as levels set during WW2, is Alekhine's Gun. The most recent and quite likely last game from the Death to Spies series.

Quite possibly.

New event-exclusive female boss. A redhead kung-fu fighter with a ponytail and a sexy Chinese dress:


Almost forgot, a new female boss. An athletic blondie tomboy named Bambi (バンビ). She even got that cute belly and a sporty build too. She emits squeaky boyish cries when hurt, almost similar to Hisako Kanemoto or Shiori Izawa's voice:

Her short hair and belly got me an erection...sheeettt!! Is SNK going after my expectations in the game. Shame that the factory and steelworks area lacks in female mechanics, too much burly male mechanics (eww...)

thanks. does anyone know how to mod it (swapping character models) as well as for death to spies: moment of triumph?

 

[Black Delmo]

slayer Tsukachan Nice, that Chinese Dress Boss (I think her name is Rin 凛）is sexy, would like to see more of her in action. Also, apparently the game seem to have an anti-emulator security. When I tried it on Nox it always crashed on startup

 

[josephes]

Man, all those redheads do is throw a single swipe attack and that's it. Talk about lame. :(

Try on Memu. It's a different emulator and I think it should work on that one

 

[NNin]

Dat Kung Fu girl's name is Rin Ookami. And she is very sexy. I should download the game now *_*

Thanks!! I had difficulties on reading her name as I can't read Kanji. Only hiragana and katakana

IMO Rin kinda looks like a doppelganger to Mai Shiranui. If you wanna download, don't hesitate to click the QooApp link I gave :)

LOL, that shitty game? It is a famously terrible russian game, with braindead AI, check some videos on youtube, it's a riot, especially love it when enemies kill themselves with their own grenades,

Thanks got it to work on Memu, also looks like I'm wrong about the anti-root/emu thing, for some reason it works on Nox now. I guess I had to update the google service. (it's so wierd)

Also, having a lot of fun so far, I would put this game on my iphone if I had more space.

While grinding in KOF All Stars so I can go on to the next stages and discover more zakos and female bosses, I decided to try exposing some zakos from various Korean games to get rid of boredom. Despite I'm not a Korean myself, I'm interested in Korean games though (especially action and beat 'em up genres). I understand a little Korean as well, and sometimes I read Korean mangas too (also known as manhwas/webtoons). Most of the infos I got are from Hardcore Gaming 101, which had an article compendium dedicated to the Korean game industry

Well, time to start the zako safari!!

First off is Her Knights: All for the Princess (그녀의 기사단: 강행 돌파) by Byulbram. A fantasy/medieval beat 'em up game inspired by Capcom's Dungeon and Dragons for the Korean-exclusive handheld console GP32. There's only two zakos in the game: an elf archer with a blonde ponytail and green tubetop and loincloth, as well as a rather kinky blue-haired elf mage with a grey lingerie and boots (with some garterbelt). They seems to be territorial and attacks the player when encountered. But fear not, a sword or bare hands is enough to silence them and turning them into a sexy bodypile of dead/unconscious elf girls (with the elf mage as the cherry on top and the archers in the bottom)

Screenshot from a PC remake reportedly worked on by a former staff of Byulbram (release date still unknown):

Zyclunt (지클런트) by Phantagram for the MS-DOS has only one zako: COMPLETELY NUDE female clones with blonde ponytail that come out from glass tubes and kicks the well-armored player's head like a football. However, they're no match for the player's sword, which ends the lives of these female clones (damn I'm kinda sad TBH considering they only came out from the tube for a few seconds, then get murdered by the player). What's with Korea's obssession with blonde ponytail back in the 90s?

Then we're off to Darkside Story (다크사이드스토리) by Sonnori, a beat 'em up game with RPG elements for MS-DOS and Windows. Only one zako in the game sadly, and it's a black-haired female thug with ripped jeans and black vest with red midriff-baring tubetop underneath. They comprise as the female members of the in-game enemy gang, but that brunette tomboy girl can send 'em flying like newspapers thrown by paperboys on Monday morning (finally, an obscure Korean zako that is NOT a girl with blonde ponytail)

Jjang (짱) by Samsung is another beat 'em up title for Korean Windows PCs. Unfortunately, there aren't any screenshots of the zako, but it appears instead on the boxart below. A purple, haired girl with purple shorts and a purple sleeveless crop top with a "keyhole" in the middle exposing her cleavage. Not much known about her attacks and such sadly. But hey, she's all purple!!

A Night Where Good Things Are Bound to Happen (어쩐지 좋은 일이 생길 것 같은 저녁), just another Korean beat 'em up for the MS DOS. Surprisingly this game isn't obscure anymore as it's available for download in Abandonia, and there's a lot of footages on YT. There are two zakos in the game: a female Korean mafia member named Hyung Chae, as well as a bunch of rabid schoolgirls clad in cute sailor uniforms. The schoolgirls comes in two variants: blonde short-haired tomboys and black ponytailed brats. One man vs. an army of schoolgirls, what could possibly go wrong?

Legend of Silkroad (실크로드의 전설) by Unico is a beat 'em up game for the Korean arcades based of the historical Silk Road trading route and their cultures. There are two zakos in the game: first off are "Dancing Girls", which are actually scantily-clad female bandits/warriors with claw arms, fundoshi-like tubetop/bikini made (probably) from animal skin that covers only their nipples and back as well as loincloths. They come in three variants: red (not shown), purple and blue. The second zako is the "Giant Girls", which are giantess warriors clad in bikini armors and wields a rapier. They appear to be more durable than the dancing girls, and much stronger

Gaksital (각시탈) is a beat 'em up/strategy hybrid game by Sego Entertainment for Korean PCs. The game takes place during the Japanese occupation of Korea, therefore the enemies are all Japan-themed. Only one zako in this game: a masked kunoichi with a brown ponytail, black ninja garb and appears to be wielding a triple-blade thingy attached to a chain. Not bad for a kunoichi design though..

Busters (버스터즈) is a Korean Fighting Force clone made by FEW. Looks more blockier than Fighting Force IMO, and there's not much info about it. There's one zako though: muscular female thugs with sleeveless black crop tops, black arm warmers, black beanie hats and black yoga pants. Judging from their looks, these thugs are pretty athletic and able to evade the player's attacks. Blocky, but still sexy!!

Manic Game Girl (매닉 게임 걸) is an action beat 'em up game for the Playstation 1 by Joycast. A game about a girl who gets sucked into a world of her own video games, and fights off several video game characters with a power suit. Some of the enemies includes kunoichis with blonde ponytails and pink/blue ninja garbs. They may be quick, but the girl's tough enough to beat them!!

I think that's all I can show. Maybe next time, I'll try to look for more obscure zakos again. It's pretty fun though, and gives me some inspiration for my future Honey Select zako pinup plan or maybe some Fightfantasies requests!! All I can say is that Korean game developers did some gooood job designing female characters, not just the usual Japanese developers. Some honorable mentions that I would loooove to show:

Hana from a 3D Korean fighting game for the PCs called Heart Breakers. Hana is an athletic tomboy girl that fights using kickboxing and MMA skills. She resembles Hinata Wakaba from Rival Schools and Yuri Sakazaki from KOF for some reason. Her outfit consists of a white sports bra with black and white bike shorts, as well as yellow MMA gloves and white sneakers with white puffy socks. A waifu material I say, since I have a fetish for female MMA fighters and kickboxers too

Adora from the RPG game Magna Carta. I remember playing this on my PSP back when I was in junior high school. She's a swashbuckling swordswoman with a hairstyle similar to Yuuna Shigemura from Sword Art Online, and a nice minidress!! To top it off, she's designed by reowned Korean designer Kim Hyung-tae who also designed characters from Blade and Soul!! Just another waifu material, and also one of my early crushes

Silvia from a mobile game called Black Survival. She's a 23-year old tomboyish biker girl from Argentina with a spunky hairstyle and attitude. I used to play this game last year due to the character designs a lot, but now I seldomly play this game again. There's also a mechanic girl named Barbara, though she's not too attractive as Fighters Club's mechanics, but a lot more thiccer. Silvia kinda resembles Suzuka Asahina from Suzuka (and its sequel Fuuka) a series of romance manga and anime written by Kouji Seo, known for his tomboy romance genre. I really enjoyed both, though I liked Fuuka more. Sometimes, I cried whenever I play as Silvia and she dies. I have a heart for her..

Ai from a game called Giga Slave. Apparently it's an MMO that feels like Metal Slug, unfortunately I was a little unaware of this game's existence in the west and now it's gone. She's a female mercenary with an ivory ponytail, large breasts and a cute look. She wears a black midriff-baring tubetop, a pair of denim hot pants and red sneakers with black stockings. She kinda reminds me of Yoko Littner from Gurren Lagann mixed with Mirei Shikishima from Valkyrie Drive or Teliko Friedman from Metal Gear Acid. I won't mind making a pinup of her soon!!

Jesus that's a lot of history. Thanks a whole bunch, there's a whole lot I didn't know or only saw bits of, like Her Knights having those female enemies or that the Legend of Silkroad was Korean.
I found screenshots of that game years ago, and as soon as I saw the Giant Ladies and Dancing Girls I dropped everything to find it. It's a slog to get to them and I lost all my save states, so I can't get any new shots. But they're really gorgeous, if you're down for like 20 minutes of skeletons and muscle men you first encounter them both on the same stage.
I hope the Her Knights remake comes out soon, the archers and mages look delicious and I'm sure there's a character who doesn't make blood when they attack.

Another Korean beat em up, It got a similar looking zako, a chick with skimpy purple outfit, black boots and platinum blonde hair.

There's one character that doesn't make blood in Her Knights though:

Meet Silma Seira, a spunky redhead grappler with metal gauntlets and a sexy white tubetop. She's ready to beat up some elves and knock 'em out from their consciousness with her metal gauntlets!!

Someday, I wanna request a match at Fightfantasies between Silma Seira and Hana from Heart Breakers. An MMA duel between a spunky grappler and a cute kickboxer from Korean games!! That's epic
