Feels a little undercooked but pretty fun.

I couldn't play this game on my computer without lowering the resolution to the point that the game ran in a window that took up a tenth of my screen. It was genuinely difficult to play that way. Hisako is fun, though.

Lo jugué en el local donde iba a jugar xbox cuando tenía 13. Ahora está en mis prioridades cuando consiga un Xbox Series, recuerdo que era la ostia aún teniendo pocos personajes.

Definitely my most played Xbox One game. Has a crazy amount of achievements so best believe I’ve had a deep dive in this one. The crossover characters are what really got me into the game. Other than that I think you need to have a good amount of skill to enjoy this one or the online community is gonna eat you up. Even though I’m at the bottom of the rankings I still my ass kicked. The “story” mode is a lot of text, I don’t recommend it. Arcade mode gets repetitive. Think there are 8 fights to get through? Play another fighter if you want something awesome.


The one eighth-gen launch game (or I guess just PS4/Xbox One since the whole "numbered generation" thing is so blurred these days) that I still enjoy. A genuinely great (and rather underrated) fighting game that just oozes style.

Rating: 9.5/10 - Amazing

My favorite fighting game of the past decade.

The fact that a bunch of people in the fgc believe this to be at least in the top 15 best fighting games of all time means something. It’s a lot of fun with innovative combos and ideas. It could be higher if I play it more which I want too.

We may not have Master Chief in Smash but Arbiter in KI is just as badass

The original Killer Instinct games, to me, were decent fighting games but not ones that I could sit and play for extended periods of time. This one however is one the best feeling fighting games I've played. I'm not an expert at fighting games by any means in fact I'm a pretty big casual but I still love the genre and this is one of my favorites. The menus can be a bit confusing and it was pretty disappointing that they decided to go the live service route but if you can find it on sale, for example I got it for $10 that came with the game and all content, then it is a HUGE recommendation. In terms of pure gameplay there aren't many other games that flow as well as this.

Puta merda.

Conseguiram, transformaram aquele merda num jogo decente. Esse KI novo é extremamente gostoso de jogar, apesar de eu não ter quase nenhum elogio pra musica e pra estética do jogo, a gameplay é absurdamente intuitíva, e o sistema de combo breaker é incrível.

7.5/10

One of the best fighting games of all time. Awesome roster of characters, amazing visuals, rocking tunes, best announcer ever and the combos be so satisfying. You can mess around with this one for hours and have a blast. I've been waiting for a sequal for years. This is the single best exclusive on the Xbox One, Its that simple.

It doesn't quite reach the levels of greatness of the original Killer Instinct game but it's a very solid and 'flashy' fighting game catering to both advanced and casual players with the combo assistance mode.

Graphics and effects during fights are very good, performance in terms of fps is solid and smooth and the soundtrack has some highlights. New roster has highs and lows but overall there is a decent selection of old and new fighters.

i refuse to be anything but a casual in this game, ever

This is not only a competent reboot, but it far exceeds the source material.
This is so much better than the original Killer Instinct that it basically wipes it from existence.
I loved OG Killer Instinct, but this? This is a masterpiece of Killer Grooves.

FGC mais subestimado que esse não tem
Combate gostoso e fluido até hoje

this game was the reason why i bought an Xbox One over a PS4 at launch, and i don't regret a thing.

Beautiful reboot of a dormant franchise. This is how you do it.

this game is underrated as fuck. i wish it had more support but i love this game as a fighting game. its so unique and stylish it deserves a lot of praise. hope a new one comes out sooner or later.

This game makes my brain light up all the fun colors

This game is so sick. The combo system is super innovative and even playing defense trying to guess what your opponent will push is fun and satisfying. The roster is also neat. This game should've been way more popular than it was

arbiter is the best character in the game

This games sound effects (primarily from the announcer) live in my head rent free.

this is the true sequel to Battletoads. now where the fuck is Pimple and Zitz


Breaks the rules of both Japanese and NetherRealm fighters with its cast of mechanically-unique warriors and rhythmic combo system. Some are genius, others are kinda wonky. Not a fan of the art style.

the announcer is pretty great

Has the most "hype moments per round" ratio out of any fighting game I can think of... the announcer probably helps a lot.

Madre de dios, que desastre... Los menús asquerosos, la tienda forzadísima, y eso sin entrar en el juego en sí. Las cinemáticas son una vergüenza, indefendibles para un juego de este calibre. Te cuelan vídeos a 480p cada dos por tres con trescientos cortes solo para introducirte otro tutorial o tienda de m**rda. Y cuando crees que ya ha pasado lo peor ves el sistema de misiones, los consumibles, LOS SOBRES... Y abres uno y te ponen un vídeo de UN MINUTO para enseñarte que hace una de las cartitas que te han tocado jiji. Me he sentido ofendido y atacado personalmente. No lo vuelvo a tocar ni con un palo.
