It doesn’t stray far from the typical anime fighter template, but it’s fast-paced and flashy enough to be thoroughly entertaining. Win three of them in a row, and you’ll find yourself powered up. There’s also a gauge that powers three special attacks as well as a Valor attack that draws competitors into a rock, paper, scissors-style standoff if it hits. Characters have access to short and long range attacks, and a guard break can be performed which you can follow up with a chase. And it’s a shame, because the fighting can be fun. But what’s really disappointing is that there are only six stages in which to do battle, and a roster of only eight characters.įor a full price game, Kill la Kill: IF just feels tragically light on content. All in all, it’s about what you’d expect to find in a fighting game really, and nothing more. Thankfully, in addition to Kill la Kill: IF‘s story mode, you eventually gain access to tutorial, training, survival challenge and cover challenge modes in the practice menu, and free battle, player match and ranked match modes in the versus menu. There’s not really any reason to unless you want to get the best rank in every battle. Completing the game’s story mode in its entirety will take about five hours, and once you’re done it’s highly likely that you won’t return to it. You can then begin to play through the story from Ryuko Matoi’s perspective, or dive into the new modes that you’ve unlocked. That takes about two and a half hours unless you skip all the story scenes, in which case it’ll take about an hour. You see, to unlock all the modes that Kill la Kill: IF has to offer, you first have to reach the end of Satsuki Kiryuin’s story. And it’s a good job, because you’re pretty much forced to play it. But thanks to the game’s “what if?” scenario rather than carrying on where the anime left off, even those who aren’t aware of what Kill la Kill is all about may get some enjoyment out of it. But chances are, only a few will be truly satisfied by it.ĭeveloped by A+ Games and published by Arc System Works, Kill la Kill: IF is a 3D brawler with a story mode that allows you to play as both Satsuki Kiryuin and Ryuko Matoi, characters who will be very familiar to those who have watched the anime. For fans of the anime it’s based on, Kill la Kill: IF is likely to be irresistible.
