    Kill la Kill: IF has done a lot of work to push the arena fighter genre forward, even if its story mode won’t build up new fans.

    With TRIGGER’s involvement for the design and Kazuki Nakashima’s involvement for the story, they managed to help deliver the style, music and hype that fans of the anime – such as myself – loved while creating an all-new “what if” story that may have fans returning to the anime.

    Arc System Works delivers a great combat system and a fun story mode, but 8 fighters and 6 levels are too few, even if you are a big fan of the anime.

    KILL la KILL IF has all the visual prowess of an Arc System Works competitive fighter minus the substance that they are usually known for. It doesn’t necessarily handle badly control-wise, it’s just far too simplistic for even the most casual player to get any real longevity or satisfaction from it. Mix that with a horde survival mode tacked on as an afterthought, and you have an unrewarding button-masher masked behind the scribbled down blueprints of a fighting game.

    For the fans of the Kill la Kill anime, this would be a great and fun game to have and play with friends. Its button mashy system and crazy action are well presented. But lack of playable characters and high price tag drag it down for now.

    Kill la Kill The Game: IF is a unique title for sure. It lacks depth and breadth but makes up for it in wackiness and style. Fans of the anime will likely enjoy it, but fighting game fans in general will most likely pass this one by. There just isn’t enough here to make it stand out among the crowd. One thing I can say about it though is that nothing is ever likely to be as bonkers as far as fighting games go…oh who am I kidding?

    Kill la Kill the Game: IF has fun gameplay and a very appealing visual style, but it is let down by its inaccessible story mode and lack of content to incentivise prolonged play. The small cast of characters is forgivable because of how unique and fun each one is to play, but it's difficult to justify buying this at the full retail price when it runs so light on content. Nevertheless, the fanservice and unmistakable Kill la Kill flair is likely to delight fans, but aside from a few amusing unlockables in the gallery mode, there is little to sustain them beyond playing online.

    One of the best arena fighters I’ve played. If you’re a fan of kill la kill it’s more than worth it.

    The combat is simple yet very intricate if and when you practice with them. The characters are balanced when you've found their style. TheThe combat is simple yet very intricate if and when you practice with them. The characters are balanced when you've found their style. The story is short, but very exciting if you're a big Kill La Kill fan. You will not regret getting this game. There is a fighter for everyone, if it be a tank or a quick fighter. It's an awesome anime game!… Expand

Es un gran juego si has viste el anime con anterioridad, pero de todas maneras el trabajo que ha hecho Arc System Works es increíble. La única queja que tengo es la banda sonora, en algunos puntos crea una disonancia con la pelea, pero solo en algunos casos.… Expand

Ciblant en priorité la base de ses fans, le titre pourrait également plaire aux joueurs recherchant un jeu de combat simple d’accès et qui en met plein la vue. Moins profond mais plus rapide à prendre en main que Dragon Ball Fighter Z ou Blazblue, Kill La Kill If se démarque surtout par son excellent mode Story qui nous propose un arc inédit et qui ajoute l’équivalent de 2 épisodes de l’anime. Un bonheur pour la communauté et une avalanche de fan service. Techniquement au point, la version Switch est fluide et graphiquement plutôt jolie, merci le Cel Shading.
