    It pains me to give the score that I did, the lower points is due to a few mechanics that need improvement. The new story is great. It is written by the original writer. It is an amazing alternate tale to the original story. They even got both the original Japanese and English voice actors. The problems I have are certain characters are to powerful. One for example has a long range beamIt pains me to give the score that I did, the lower points is due to a few mechanics that need improvement. The new story is great. It is written by the original writer. It is an amazing alternate tale to the original story. They even got both the original Japanese and English voice actors. The problems I have are certain characters are to powerful. One for example has a long range beam that spans the arena that is a spamable move. The biggest problem is when fighting multiple opponents, there. Isn't a way to switch targets. This is especially problematic when an enemy is behind you, you stay focussed on the character in front unable to stop the one behind. This seems like an easy fix and I really hope they fix it. If they do fix these problem this would be a 9/10 for sure… Expand

    Kill La Kill If est une très bonne adaptation de l’anime. 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.

    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 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.
