    Stylish, methodical, and encouraging attacking gameplay, this latest Under Night In-Birth title is as exciting as always, and Switch owners that have yet to try the series out are in for a treat, with plenty of modes, a lengthy visual novel chronicle, online play, and a varied cast of characters. Despite the array of balance and move tweaks, though, this just isn't enough of an improvement over the previous title, with only one extra character being introduced. That said, this is still a top anime fighter, and a good alternative to BlazBlue.

    All of that gameplay polish is wrapped up in a slick and stylish aesthetic that delivers some of the best fighting game music and most memorably characters in recent years, which is all basically to say this: if you haven’t played Under Night In-Birth yet, what the hell are you waiting for?

    Absolutely no point in buying this. It is Blazblue and Guilty Gear made to a much worse standard. Just cannot recommend whilst BB and GG exist.

The tutorial's great and provides insight to players that have never played a fighting game before while introducing it's own unique ideas into the learning exercises. What starts off as complex becomes more and more enjoyable with mastery. Full Review »

    UNDER NIGHT IN-BIRTH EXE:LATE [CL-R] continue d’améliorer sa recette avec cette troisième version (définitive?) en ajoutant un personnage inédit au roster plutôt varié d’Under Night et en rééquilibrant le gameplay de son jeu. Cette version 2020 d’Under Night reste toutefois un petit peu en retrait en comparaison de ses deux principaux concurrents : Guilty Gear et Blazblue. Techniquement, Under Night est très plaisant avec une direction artistique et un chara-design vraiment réussi. La Switch commence a avoir un catalogue de jeux de combat plutôt varié avec les ténors du genre (Dragon Ball Fighter Z, Street Fighter 30th Anniversary, Mortal Kombat 11 etc…) mais si vous êtes amateur de Versus Fighting, Under Night aura des arguments à faire valoir et pourra vous charmer.
