Kill la Kill the Game: IF Will Have You Fight With Not Only Action But Words Too

Publisher Arc System Works shared new details on the APlus-developed action fighter Kill la Kill the Game: IF with info on its gameplay systems in this week’s issue of Famitsu magazine. [Thanks, Ryokutya2089.]

Here are some highlights from the interview:

• Using simple controls, players will get to freely run about in the 3D fields.

• There are no command moves, but attacks that can be pulled off with a directional key and button.

• In addition to dash, step, and guard, there are also ranged attacks.

• Players will get to perform combos by button-mashing, plus a finishing attack that comes with various scenes with a last directional input.

• There’s a triangle system that has break attacks, blows, and guards in one part, and blows, evasive read attacks, and evasive actions.

• There are special attacks that activates a “verbal battle” which also comes with its own triangle system of provoke, abuse, and mock.

• By winning you’ll increase Blood Authority level, which increases the character’s stats.

Kill la Kill: The Game IF releases in 2019 for PlayStation 4 and PC. You can check out its latest trailer and screenshots in our previous report. You can also check Siliconera’s interview to learn more about the game from key staff.
