The hyperactive, psychedelic, extremely noisy opera that is action anime is custom-made for fighting games. So much of the medium has been built around combat, usually engaged in fantastical, physics-breaking fashion. From Fist of the North Star and Dragon Ball Z to Attack of Titan, Naruto, and everything in-between, anime’s colourful and ridiculous violence often translates well to the gaming world. Hell, there’s even an anime about fighting games now. The lens has turned inward, people.
And so it figures that Trigger Studio would eventually offer up a scrapper based on modern classic Kill la Kill. Blowing up in the mid-2010s, Kill la Kill immediately won over an army of fans with its wild action, eccentric characters, frankly absurd premise, and, of course, lashings of cheesecake nudity. In fact, it’s amazing that Kill la Kill The Game: IF – from APLUS Games and Arc System Works – has taken this long to arrive, given the source material’s obvious potential.
Still, why ask why? Let’s dive into the spiky-limbed world of haute couture school Honnouji Academy and its bizarre, frequently unclothed student body.
