    Very good game on very good anime!
    In this game, a low threshold of entry, because it is not very difficult and suitable for beginners. Also here to make a great story, but to understand it you need to know and the plot of the anime. I liked the game very much, but my opinion may differ from yours

    Oh sorry, i was too enthusiast about playing my favorite character of the show !
    This game has many flaws, while staying respectful to the source material, it doesn't show many creativity and lack of originality : -Too few characters -Awkward battle system -Unbalanced characters But the main cast of the manga / anime is there.

    Graphisms reminds the anime even if sometimes the camera, the angles are not suitable for a combat game...
    Soundtrack is a copycat of the anime.

    Not a bad game, not a good either... But i hope we will get one day a "Studio Trigger All-Stars Battle" game with more characters (My Witch Academia, Darling in the Franxxx, BNA...).    … Expand

    Not a great property to turn into a 3D brawler with the tiny roster. Arc Sys' fantastic 3D animation prowess doesn't quite translate as well into a 3D environment (as opposed to 2D) and it is clear that a lot of corners were cut leading to lacklustre visuals and awkward cutscenes. Would have been better off having kill la kill be a crossover with another property to fill up that characterNot a great property to turn into a 3D brawler with the tiny roster.

Would have been better off having kill la kill be a crossover with another property to fill up that character select. As it stands, its weak even for a brawler which is already a genre with a low bar.

    Also no resolutions above 1080p results in a very blurry looking game.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As a Kill la Kill fan, I'm honestly disappointed with this game.

    It looks and plays unpolished, has gamebreaking bugs (like crashing when watching certain cutscenes), and it's single-player mode is only two hours long at best, and that's not even counting that Ryuko's story mode is an almost exact copy of Satsuki's. The character selection is small, and the RNG mechanic is unnecessary. The gameplay is leagues less in-depth than a traditional ArcSys game, because it was made by one of their subsidaries, APlus, who also did the mediocre LWA game. That set off red flags for me when it got announced, but I was hoping things would be different since ArcSys said that they'd be working closely with the developers to get things right. That TeamRED, the GGXrd devs would help out get it so the characters would look 2.5D, and "help" with gameplay mechanics, but it turned out so unpolished in the end anyways.

    It also plays the cliche "JuSt A dReAm" ending. The end-game boss is a **** baby made out of life-fibers, which is actually smooth-brained. Those are the only two things that actually have story in this game.

    I'm so disappointed, because I REALLY enjoyed Kill la Kill when I first watched it, and being teased with a story mode where it centers around Satsuki sounded so great. If you're wondering why ArcSys is threatening DMCAs for anyone streaming story-mode, despite it being required to unlock any in-game content, that's because the game has little content in story mode.

    Also, from my experience with the PC port, it only supports THREE different resolutions, and doesn't even offer keyboard support, if that tells you how the PC port is.

    If KLK is Lord of the Rings, then this game is The Hungry Caterpillar.    … Expand

    How I feel? This game is too awkward and bad for me. Try it out if you want to, but I wouldn't recommend it.

    Kill La kill if is one of the best arena fighters i have played for starters all the characters are super unique and its a blast to learn each of them although they should have made dlc for this game the only thing holding this game back is the bloody valor mechanic they should have made some other mechanics to get the powers ups for the characters.

    All in all- my thoughts on Kill la Kill IF are a bit mixed. The game plays best in one-on-one matches, which is what you’ll be playing most of the time. Stick to versus mode and you’ll be fine, but playing through the Story Mode is required to unlock certain characters, and it is a little annoying to get through unless you play on the lowest difficulty. I doubt Kill la Kill IF will appeal to anyone who’s not already a fan of the series but there’s fun to be had here.

    Limited PC graphics settings aside, Kill la Kill: IF isn’t a bad game; its just not worth its asking price. After you’ve spent five hours making your way through its story mode, a paltry eight characters and six stages aren’t likely to keep your attention for too long, especially if you don’t plan on playing online. And even if you do take the action online, chances are you’re not going to encounter much competition. All style and no substance, Kill la Kill: IF is mostly fun while it lasts, but leaves you wanting more.

    Although visually impressive and vibrant with colors and fanservice, Kill la Kill: IF is a serviceable arena fighter with a lacking roster, a short campaign and zero depth.
