    ...Entre los puntos buenos serian los personajes que están bien balanceados,los gráficos pero eso da igual,la música porque se mantiene original a la serie,el sistema de combate los combos y demás no se vuelven difíciles de realizar y es fácil aprender.
    ...Lo negativo seria:Hay pocos personajes en al final cojes 2 o 3 como máximo,los escenarios se sienten iguales solo hay 5 y 2 o 3 de ellos son casi iguales solo cambia el tamaño,los modos de juego se vuelven repetitivos y al final acabas aburriéndote.
    Y al final el punto negativo que mas me a molestado del juego es el des balanceo abusivo del modo supervivencia,en este modo es pelear y sobrevivir todo lo posible,pues el problema es que en la partida o pelea 10 el juego se vuelve imposible de jugar te tocan personajes imposibles de detener o golpear,si consigues ganar,te tocaran 1 o 2 jugadores malos,pero luego de nuevo otro que es imposible,encima que para conseguir el platino necesitas llegar en ese modo de juego a la ronda 50 pero con lo difícil y des balanceado que se vuelve se convierte en un trofeo bastante complicado e imposible.
    El juego esta bien pero si no cambian algunos fallos que tienen algunos modos de juego como ese,
    el juego es una basura que solo lo tocas para jugar de vez en cuando con amigos.    … 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.

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

    Ok, i have to be clear here from the begining, i only played the demo, and it was plain garbage, it looks great, and that is it, and that is the reason i've only played the demo, the deception was too much

    It's basically stripped-down 3D fighting game that's a retelling of the anime.

    The story is okay by anime standards. It's definitely on the weird side as you only see a small slice of the world and that slice is dominated by students fighting over super-powered cloth and clothes in preparation for the coming of the great yarn god. Well, that's basically what I got from it. Without    It's basically stripped-down 3D fighting game that's a retelling of the anime.

    The story is okay by anime standards. It's definitely on the weird side as you only see a small slice of the world and that slice is dominated by students fighting over super-powered cloth and clothes in preparation for the coming of the great yarn god. Well, that's basically what I got from it. Without spoiling anything, there is a good explanation for all of this at the end, even though that explanation is a bit cheap and lazy.

    So, on to the fighting. It's serviceable. It's in a 3D format where you're unable to control the camera - it just goes where it wants, so sometimes you're on the far side of the arena with your enemy between you and your character, which isn't ideal. You occasionally have to fight multiple enemies at once and there's no real targeting system - it just seems to choose whoever is closest to you.

    Also, it seems as though the character animations are 15 or 20fps, which seems a bit strange. this style is normally limited to 2d fighting games, such as Guilty Gear, so that you can better time your moves. But the move set in this game isn't nearly complex enough to need something like that. I would have preferred 60fps animations since the game feels more like a brawler than a serious fighting game.

    Character fighting style differences aren't very big. If you learn a move set on one character, chances are, that will translate very well to another character. The animations might look different, but they'll still do the same things (melee attacks, ranged attacked, dash attacks).

    So after you get through the 4-6 hours of story mode and have unlocked everything, there's a few more things. There's some time attacks and survival battles, though they're not very interesting. Then there's the digital figures, like in Guilty Gear. This is okay, but you don't get all of the character costumes - you only get their battle costumes. This is fine, I suppose, if you like their string/strap bikini-styled costumes, but I would have much preferred their normal clothes.

    And that's about it. If you don't plan to play this multi-player, you're only going to get about 6 hours worth of play out of this. That 6 hours isn't horrible, though it does feel like a partial game.    … Expand

    With a light and airy story, a number of insubstantial game modes and a limited roster of characters, this is a package that has about as much substance as the twin protagonist’s battle suits. It’s one for Lady Satsuki’s Elite Four, assorted devotees and few others. We’d rather be watching the series. [Issue#166, p.84]

    Kill La Kill - IF is a pretty descent fighting game, with a good but very simplistic gameplay, a new alternative story well told, but the lack of content is obvious. Fans only.

    The developer has managed to adapt the anime quite faithfully. However, by focusing mainly on the story they have neglected other important aspects of the game, such as the limitation of characters, modes and combat scenarios. However, the pace of frantic fighting and how well it is achieved, adaptation can become a fan.
