Arc System Works published the first 1080p screenshots of the upcoming game adaptation of the super-popular Kill la Kill anime.
Mikhail: "I think every Kill la Kill fan has wanted a game based on the series at some point. Fans of the anime who have also played any character action game probably desperately wanted PlatinumGames to be behind the wheel for it, sadly, some things don’t work out. But when you have the best fighting game developer in the world announce a Kill la Kill game, it impossible to not get excited. It seemed too good to be true and that’s when it looked like we had a monkey paw situation with APLUS being revealed as the developer. Thankfully, the end result is excellent and Kill la Kill The Game: IF is absolutely worth your time if you enjoyed the anime."
KILL la KILL The Game: IF features exciting arena fighting action and silly yet engaging yarn that together form an exclusive episode for the quirky franchise. The presentation is big, bold and in-your-face, creating a handsome package you really want to dig into.
Kill la Kill The Game: IF looks good, but lacks mechanical depth, narrative nuance, or a breadth of content to match.
What a shame, this series should have been a 2D fighter along the same line as DBFighterZ
I mean, it really wasn't surprising. Personally, the game looks okay-ish, at least compared to most other arena fighters churned out by Bandai (One's Justice and Xenoverse were alright) but I completely agree that the game will have benefited more if it was a 2d fighter, and the same can be said with other anime fighters. Though, if that One Punch Man game tells us anything, I doubt japanese devs will stop making more arena brawlers.
That's really what I hate about these anime arena fighting games. They look extremely pretty but lack depth. Most of these type of fighting games have this mash button/rock paper scissor like mechanic which I find boring.
They wanted to do 2D but they couldn't because it would overexceed the development budget. Theres an article by IGN from May that goes over the history of it.
Just a reminder that this site gave Jump Force a 6.3, another arena fighter that also lacks narrative nuance and mechanical depth.
I mean this game is literally an auto battler. I agree that jumpforce was also trash just like all of bamcos reskinned anime brawlers though.
Would still play this over most other mediocre anime arena fighters like Knights of Britannia.
I'd be surprised if there were people disappointed with the game. What did you expect from a game made by the same people who worked on LWA: Chamber of Time and that Asterisk War vita game? And even, this is probably their best title, and I'm still planning on getting the game, though definitely not right now.
Don't be so dependent on reviews, if you liked the game then go ahead and play it.
Also, i never trust IGN reviews most of the time. They are terrible at gaming.
Looks epic
Every single game based on an Anime (or anything for that matter) should be handed to Arc Systems Works.
Hope SJWs don’t try to go all r*tard strong over this one.
My friend told me to watch this because I liked onepunch man. I forgot about it completely until I saw the title. The graphics look good and those are some wild outfits. Cartoon games are getting sharper by the year and that’s exciting from an aesthetic point of view. That break from the realism when they effectively blur the line between cartoon and game. It looks like a 3D game but I like the 2d style more generally for fighting games. Soul Calibur looks sick though. That’s my exception lol.
this should have been a hack and slash + action adventure game. EPIC FAIL!
