KIll Lag KIll If you own a AMD GPU avoid this game. Enjoyed this game on other platforms and decided to 100% on PC but the port hates hates hates AMD cards. Game dips from its 60 fps cap when projectiles and effects are on screen, it gets as choppy as a powerpoint slide . There is one "patch" I found but it could be due to windows 11 or 9000 series AMD but it crashes the game on fight intros/cutscenes. Overall the …

Edit: Only buy this game only when it is at 75% off. If you are a kill la kill fan then this game is a 6 or 7 out of 10. If you are a going in blind this game is like 4 out of 10. This game was all right. It felt like an unfinished product like there were parts that were highly detailed yet there were scuffed aspects as well. The gameplay is decent (7/10), the story mode is 4 out of 10, the other game modes are …

REALLY bad PC port but the game itself is rly fun and simple. The controls are rly easy so anyone can pick up and play it, and yet there's just enough depth for ppl who wanna come up with combo strings to indulge some time into. Just keep in mind that this still is a 3d arena fighter, so set your expectations fairly low for the depth of play. (This isn't going to beat out Guilty Gear anytime soon.) The story mode is …

Kill la Kill -IF does a fantastic job capturing the chaotic, hyper-stylized energy of the anime with slick cel-shaded visuals and an entertaining "what-if" story mode. The 3D arena fighting mechanics are surprisingly punchy, offering a fun rock-paper-scissors dynamic through its unique Bloody Valor system. However, a very lean character roster and a clunky camera keep it from reaching true fighting game greatness. …

Kill la Kill is the best comedy-action anime in existence! And this game is a pretty good representation of it. I just wish this game had a bigger budget (((

Players who liked KILL la KILL -IF talk about great cel-shaded visuals and anime representation; those who didn't talk about poor PC port with performance issues on AMD. Which matters more to you?
Critics, per Wikipedia
Kill la Kill the Game: IF received "mixed or average" reviews for the Nintendo Switch version, according to review aggregator website Metacritic. Many sites praised the visual style and animations as a standout feature of the game; a review by Mike Epstein from IGN describes the game having "an elegant cel-shaded artstyle" with animation that "feel[s] like watching an anime in its rare, exciting moments". Outside the visuals, the fighting mechanics are commonly criticized for lacking depth, resulting in a shallow experience. Lewis White of Nintendo Life deemed it "one of the weakest fighters we've played in quite some time", especially when comparing it to other critically acclaimed…

60 of 184 · most liked firstThe game's story was a pain in the butt to finish. It did teach me how to essentially fight in the most broken manner possible, but my sanity came at a cost to do so. Some pros: - Unique artstyle - Fairly good gameplay that gets more hectic when you play on higher difficulties (I can only imagine the online meta) - Interesting story - Show VA's are present and giving their best performances My biggest gripes that I have to get off my chest: - No ability to change who the camera locks on to,…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Positives - Best time to buy is when it goes on sale for $5 or sail the seas since the preferred way to play online against other players is through Remote Play (The in-game's netcode is unstable with desyncs and crashes). - Highly recommend to download the Restitched mod which overhauls the gameplay and adds story characters, colors, fix and balance patches and helps improve performance. It can found on Nexus Mods and on IronFoxfire's YouTube channel (He is the lead modder of Restitched). -…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game, works nice on the steam deck but you have to launch it on desktop mode and use Proton 10-1. Every other setting either doesn't launch or crashed at cut scenes.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ryuko Best Girl,Best Tomboy This game makes me feel a bit nostalgic for the past when I first watched Kill La Kill I will defend this anime until i die, legitimately fanservice aside this is one of my all time favorite anime Personally as a big KLK fan, the story mode was a letdown. The game is "ok" not great i think it was a good 3D fighter but not exactly the thing I'd want out of a KLK game I prefer a hack and slash game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very stupid to disable the multiplayer mode. I got this game so I could play with my friend immediately, and they are making me grind out the single player mode first. Lame. They would have way more players if they enabled multiplayer by default.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As a fan of the show I had to buy this game instantly and it was worth it too when on sale. But even with the extra modes, the story mode and just fighting other players and computers. The game is lacking, however there's a solution! Go support and play Kill la Kill if Restitched if you want a more refined and supported version of the game that actually tries to balance and bring more life into this mostly dead game. It's easy to install and play this modded version of the game too. So what are…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Honestly wish this game did better when it first came out. There's a ton of cool things about it, but at the same time a lot to be desired. The roster is criminally short compared to all of the powered up characters we see in the actual anime/manga. I don't mind the simplicity of the combat that this arena fighter has, but the rock paper scissors mechanic is awful, especially against bots and the fact that if you don't managed to pull it off successfully 3 times, you don't get to even attempt…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wanted to get it when it released but after the negative reviews and steep price I forgot about it, and now 5 years later..well it was alright, I loved seeing the characters again and I'm not complaining since I didn't expect anything more from it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As a huge Kill la Kill fan, I don't really know how to feel about Kill la Kill -IF. There are a lot of things I like, but also a lot that I don't. For example, the PC version's framerate is absolutely horrible. I genuinely don't know why there isn't an option for uncapped FPS, but whatever. I've seen some PS4 gameplay, and the framerate actually seemed better than this PC port. I don't know if it's common knowledge that the PC port isn't great because I'm super late to playing this game.…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As much as I love Kill La Kill, this game is a total letdown and one of the worst "fighting game" (3D anime arena fighter lmao) I have ever played in my entire life. Not only that, this title runs like absolute garbage on PC - I can literally count the frames on my screen lol.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →im a diehard kill la kill fan, i wanted to try the game they had, and it played pretty decent and is mechanically interesting, wish the game got support because it has a lot of potential, but its so barebones content wise it hurts once you beat the story there is nothing to do and the dead playerbase does not help either, better experience with mods for sure though

The 3D arena fighting mechanics are surprisingly punchy, offering a fun rock-paper-scissors dynamic through its unique Bloody Valor system. However, a very lean character roster and a clunky camera keep it from reaching true fighting game greatness. It's a quick, stylish blast for series fans, even if it lacks long-term depth.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →GAME 23 - Kill La Kill: If I wish this game were way better/interesting than it is, cos it just sort of feels like a nothingburger to me. The campaign doesn't do anything with its rather interesting concept and the gameplay systems are just a little too simple to be engaging for more than an hour.
negative · AI labelView post →God, talk about a sick game having the curse of people not learning it for more than ten minutes. It's an arena fighter, it's so scary and basic, ooooo! No, ffs it's not Storm or JJK. Visual work and presentation is way higher than you'd think for a side anime like KLK to get. Not downplaying KLK, but usually things that aren't hype or legacy shows get some half assed beat 'em up or whatever else. (Which this game admitably has as an iffy side mode, but.) I know the norm nowadays is to have…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →GREAT GAME, REFUNDED
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →please release a sequel! more characters and modes and features! klkif is a cool fighting game made by arc system works and it plays much differently than their other games, which is very interesting. klkif needs a better training mode and a combo learning mode (sometimes named challenge mode or mission mode depending on the game).
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Horrendous PC port, You'd need to do some over the top modding to make the game run
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I AM IRA GAMAGORI
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Look, yall not buying this because you are searching that secret best fighting game. It is Kill la Kill content. Pre-corona. Game looks pretty much as in the trailers, the story is remix of the final fight. I bought this for 75% off, you should too. In the end, I got exactly what I expected... Nothing special, but Kill la Kill content.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Japanese love pachinko so much that they made a game where you're forced to use Rock-Paper-Scissors mechanics to beat the final boss. For the sake of the video game industry, please never let this game's gameplay designers and QA testers work on another game ever again. To make matters worse, the PC port is absolutely atrocious. I guess this is what the Japanese call a "kusoge".
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I can't even play the game. I need like a NASA supercomputer for it. Can't even play it on my steam deck... still, if you got a good computer, maybe you can actually play it and maybe enjoy it. Otherwise, probably buy it on consoles more this anything else.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →DON'T LOSE YOUR WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! 🗣️🔥🔥🔥✂
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →run like massive crap despite not pushing the cpu nor the gpu anywhere near their limits. this game has no reasons to have performances issues or being very demanding , there is nothing flashy about how much details goes in the characters and levels design , everything is simple and look like your typical anime and each fight stages are rather small. I tried it on both the steamdeck and an older pc and on both there is frequent and unbearable struttering , framedropping and random slow down.…

If you are a fighter fan and you don't feel like modding your game in order to have a moderately sized community to play against, this is not the game for you.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is really fun, has great gameplay, several iconic characters to play as, and even an alternative story of Kill La Kill with new unique enemies not seen before in the anime. It had so much potential for further updates and characters, but unfortunately the devs abandoned it...
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is like watching Kill La Kill but if it had no charm, no soul, and no reason to be wasting your time. While simultaneously being forced to write your name on a chalkboard 500 times.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Someone really thought this game was good
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love Kill la Kill, and the 20-episode campaign is a treat for fans. That said, the game has two main issues. The launch was rough, and I faced a bug where the game wouldn't launch until I manually added it to my Windows Graphics settings (System > Display > Graphics). Additionally, the lack of post-game content and a small playerbase severely limits its life as a competitive fighting game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i love kill la kill. i have the manga and watched the anime. i didnt know they had a game and when i played it. enjoyed it alot. i love the combat and music. story is kinda like the anime. played with some friends and was nice. recommened if you like games like jump force
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →feels like the full title of this game during development was "KILL la KILL -IF it was bad" but the marketing team didn't allow full name to go through
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I don't usually like fighting games, but this is undoubtedly the best one I've ever played. Fun, easy controls to grasp, cool combos, characters from the best anime of all time (quote me on that), no getting stuck in a corner being grabbed over and over again, a bit of a luck factor and extra mindgames with Bloody Valor, it's cool. Just wish it was a bit more alive though.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →KILL la KILL -IF adapts the anime’s over-the-top style into a fast arena fighter. It captures the show’s visual energy with sharp cel-shaded models and exaggerated attack animations. The presentation stays true to the original material and appeals to fans who want to relive the series’ chaotic battles. Combat focuses on spacing, burst damage, and rock-paper-scissors mind games through the unique “Bloody Valor” system. Matches are short but intense. Every character has a defined role, from…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's very good in terms of fighting mechanics but the difficulty is heavily unbalanced. example : Difficulty Normal. You Beat the first lvl easily without a sweat, first try, and the fight after that is enormously higher in difficulty where you NEED at least 10 tries or just have to turn the difficulty down. I mean c'mon, are you that lazy to fix that ? It's a great game, but the difficulty system makes it really not fun for me. Only played the satsuki playthrough since it bothered me too…

Once you figure that out, pretty good performance except for fights with a lot of enemies on screen, Nui clone battle in Ryuko's story was torture for this reason. Pretty decent game, combat is enjoyable. I think this would've been better if there was an option for team battles, but that's story exclusive to my knowledge. There's a certain fight in Ryuko's story where…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i really like the anime, and stumbled upon this game on mere accident. i decided to give it a try and yeah, it's pretty good 3D fighting game in my opinion. contains story mode, arcade and PvP. the only downside for this game is the lack of characters. so i hope the developers took this message and make any update or something. graphic - 8/10 sound -6/10 grinding - 4/10 overall - 6.5/10
