    An amazing fighter for Kill La Kill fans featuring Fan favourite characters. The graphics are amazing... in a way that does the trigger artstyle justice. The story mode though short with 2 different versions (the Ryuko being the better Story as it has Mako in it unlike Satsuki's story). It has its funny moments, and its action packed moments.

The story mode though short with 2 different versions (the Ryuko being the better Story as it has Mako in it unlike Satsuki's story). It has its funny moments, and its action packed moments. All cutscenes are done like an Anime while recreating the actual Anime cutscenes in the engine, and they have done a pretty god job here.

    Gameplay wise it is good enough for a Kill La Kill game, it's everything i wanted it to be, and the AI don't let up either, so you can play the game without online if you want and you miss out on anything.

    For additional Modes other than Story, there is Versus, Training, Tutorial, Survival, Wave Mode, Ranked Online and Player Online modes. each has something to do so it can keep you from getting bored if you are like me and just sit in training Mode for 2 hours straight with the same 2 Characters fighting each other with infinite health... yes i do it, don't judge.

    it is 100% fully voiced in Japanese and English... and with the Cutscenes, unlike Arc Systems previous titles, there is no Text boxes, so you can relax and enjoy the visuals... sadly with the way mouths are made, the English voices although are great, they are out of sync for 60% of the time unlike the original Anime. Nothing beats Stephanie Sheh (Nui) and Christine Marie Cabanos (Mako) though (i am biased and love their other character performances)

    The music is what you expect from Kill La Kill, its all the same and just great all around. staying on track with audio (pun not intended), the Sounds from the attacks, screams, and everything is amazing and makes it even better, the way Nonon fires her beams, or the popping of Nui's doppelgangers.

    overall this is a sight to be hold and will come back to it from time to time. Congrats on ArcSys for making my dream come true.    … Expand

    Fluid gameplay, loads of content, great soundtrack and all of the original voice actors (both sub and dub!)

    Kill la Kill: IF is probably one of the best anime arena fighters to date. The combat is satisfying enough for beginners, which can pull off some spectacular moves just by button-smashing, but is also deep enough for a skilled player to always shine in comparison. The basic inputs are the same for every character, but each hero adds his variation to them, as well as different stats andKill la Kill: IF is probably one of the best anime arena fighters to date. The combat is satisfying enough for beginners, which can pull off some spectacular moves just by button-smashing, but is also deep enough for a skilled player to always shine in comparison. The basic inputs are the same for every character, but each hero adds his variation to them, as well as different stats and gimmicks which makes them feel pretty unique. The netcode is very solid, and the ranked system is a true ranked system (you lose points for every loss). The story mode is short (~3-4h total) but sweet, with fully voiced and animated cut-scenes, an alternate story (it requires you to have watched the anime) and a variety of exclusive modes.
    The negatives include a pretty small roster of characters (12 total as of today), the boring stages and the fact that you need to complete the whole story in order to unlock everything in other modes. I'm having quite a lot of fun with the game.    … Expand

    This game is vicious. I dont think any fighter portrays the speed and craziness of an anime battle as well as Kill la Kill IF. The combat is a basic rock, paper, scissors system, but its well balanced and clevetly implented to be more than this attack beats that. The crazy visuals and fast paced action are a real treat, while at first the hand drawn look seems cheap once you realise theThis game is vicious.

I really liked this fighter and would highly recomend it , give it a chance at first it seems a bit pretious asking you to sit through long cut scenes but its worth it.… Expand

    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

    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.
