amazon Kill la Kill IF reviews
The only bright spot of Kill la Kill: IF lies in the image and sound.
Made by Arc System Works, the character image is built almost the same as the original, using the company’s famous engine in recently released fighting games such as Guilty Gear, Dragon Ball FighterZ. With such a look, it feels like the player is playing the role of the characters in the movie, directly controlling them to launch blinding blows on the screen.
The soundtrack was also carefully scrutinized as the actors who voiced the characters of the anime’s series participated in the voice acting of the game. The intense background music also contributes to the fire quality of the games in the game, although there are a few situations that make you not understand at all.
The game’s temporary bright spot lies in its easy-to-approach, easy-to-learn gameplay. Arc System Works is famous for being a game company that makes fighting games with deep and complex gameplay. However, in Kill la Kill: IF, the company turned 180 back to its traditional style, only introduced gameplay based on simple buttons. If you can make a comparison, Kill la Kill: IF is more like a Devil May Cry 5 on a resistance platform than a real fighting game.
Because of the above reason, the game can reach the majority of gamers, who do not need to watch the frame rate, do not need to study techniques to maximize the capabilities of the character they control. Players only need to press one or two buttons, coordinate them together that they can perform the same moves as in the movie. Hands and eyes can be said to be the main criterion of Kill la Kill: IF that Arc System Works aims at.
Because of the gameplay mentioned above, its “retention” level of players is almost zero. The game has only 11 characters, including the characters in the DLC download. The shallow gameplay with a few characters compared to a modern fighting game in 2019 is an unfortunate minus point that Kill la Kill: IF encounters.
Besides, the single-player item of the game is also too trivial and boring. Completing each mission of the campaign part is a pain that the writer must go through to finish the game screen. After going through the main game screen for all the characters, the game has nothing for you to play except the fighting game between two people and opposing players on the internet. And since the game is quite… boring, finding a match online is also a pain, something not much fun.
Perhaps this is the point that makes the game superficially received by the opposition and almost absent from advertising.
