Flashy, brutal and deeper than you'd expect. Killer Instinct is back baby.

Even though the demo is pretty disappointing, the full Killer Instinct proves to be a really nice addiction to the fighting genre. Most of the characters come directly from the first Killer Instinct-game, but this time they look really gorgeous on the new Xbox One. The fighting system of Killer Instinct is a very layered one, which will keep you busy for loads of hours although a campaign mode is definitely missed.

An excellent tutorial partially makes up for the tiny roster. [Feb 2014, p.68]

I'm bad at fighting games, and don't usually like them, but this ones pretty cool.

This Xbox One exclusive is a fantastic reboot of the classic 90's fighter. Like "Street Fighter IV", it has been continuously updated and has improved as a result. In fact, the game has more of a "Street Fighter" feel than its old school predecessors. It looks terrific, features fluid combat and is highly accessible. Thankfully, it caters to both the casual and hardcore crowd. There are numerous challenges, tutorials and training modes for those that want to master each character. This is one of the better Microsoft exclusives. I would rate it with an 8.3 out of 10.

As strictly a fighting game, the long wait was worth it. Killer Instinct is everything I’d hoped for and more.

One of the best Xbox One launch exclusives and a great fighting game, with a very good combat system and probably the best tutorial section ever seen in the genre. Our only complaints are about the thin characters line-up and the absence of a classic Arcade mode.

Una gran alternativa a las otras sagas de juegos de lucha, con toda clase de luchadores.

Six characters (two more to come) are too few too be happy, but the style and gameplay mechanics of Killer Instinct are interesting, brutal and fresh. Don't miss it.

If only there were more of it across more characters that had a story, Killer Instinct would be gold. But as it stands, it’s not yet living up to the potential the series has.

Killer Instinct is definitely fun, if a bit lacking in depth. The lack of campaign mode and limited character options mean it won't take long for you to breeze through the entirety of the content offering, but the online versus should ensure that you get plenty of enjoyment for your investment.

Killer Instinct possesses the fundamentals to be a crowd-pleasing title, and certainly does a decent job of inviting less experienced players into the genre, but its limited modes and insistence on milking your funds KOs a game with potential.

Killer Instinct is a cult fighting game, that found its way to the Xbox One. It has cool characters, nice optics and the gameplay isn´t innovative, but fun. The gameplay is complex but addictive but the story mode is negligible.

The fighting mechanics in this game are very fun, intense and fast paced. However the game has way to much micro transactions like most xbox one games.

It's impossible not to compare any 2-d fighting game to the ever expanding library of Arc fighters, and this doesn't stand up. It's not bad, it just lacks...everything that makes Blazblue special. Personality, depth, customization and evolution. It's not a 3-d fighter, it just looks like one. it's damn pretty, i'll give you that, but if yer after mechanics alone, yer still better off with virtua fighter or any Arc fighter.
SummaryThe iconic fighting game franchise is back with upgraded visuals, over-the-top action, a wild cast of combatants, rocking reactive music, and C-C-C-Combo Breakers. Choose from a diverse set of characters, each with fluid animations, unique combat tactics, and flashy special attacks. Utilize an open-ended combo system to rack up massive c... Read More
