    Good game, but reselling it a decade after with finally decent netcode and still no crossplay for premium should be a crime.

    If you want the story, start with this one. If you want gameplay or any online, then go get Uni2. It's fun, story is interesting. Goes cheap on sale if you just want to try it out without spending 50 dollars on the sequel.

    If you're looking for online play, get the sequel. But if you're fine with a single player experience, or have friends to face offline, this is a great entry point for only a few dollars on sale. The combo trials and arcade mode are great fun and hours of gameplay. While I wouldn't suggest someone wholly new to fighting games start with a single player outlook, if you're truly nervous about going online and fighting other people, this would be a very good, low-stress place to start. The dark…

    Due to UNIB2, you should only get this game if you care about the series' story; this game has a visual novel mode that takes place before 2's story. If you're a normal human being and don't care about fighting game stories, you can skip out on this one.

    UNDER NIGHT IN-BIRTH Exe:Late, developed by FRENCH-BREAD and published by Arc System Works, stands as one of the most refined iterations of the long-running Under Night In-Birth series prior to its next-generation sequel. As a 2D anime fighting game rooted in arcade tradition, it blends fast-paced combat with intricate systems and a dense urban fantasy narrative. While it may not carry the mainstream name recognition of larger franchises, it has earned a strong reputation within the fighting…

    I think this game is one of the most enjoyable fighting games i have played in a while. The core systems are really well designed and every character feels distinct from each other. The movement feels fluid and i love that the game has long combos that are not instant kill. It makes fights really enjoyable and there is a lot of comeback potential. The combo training and practise modes are well designed and give you great tools to practise your skills. I have not tried if there is ranked…

    Bastante buen fighter, no soy experto en el genero y aun asi me he pasado un buen rato, si lo consigues en oferta mejor. Por cierto si bien es la version "definitiva" de entre todos los Exe:Late, aun te faltara un dlc del personaje numero 21, aun y sin el, el juego es muy disfrutable y conseguir su platino es bastante sencillo.

    It's good. I like it! Do get the sequel though, the netcode on the sequel is definitely better. If you're gonna only play offline it could be worth it, but this doesn't feel like, say, jumps between Street Fighter games being dramatically different.

    One of the better fighting games you could get. The soundtrack is amazing, the artstyle is beautiful, and every character feels unique. You need to be fairly precise with your inputs but honestly that's a habit you should prolly get into for fighting games. This has one of the most in depth tutorials in a game too. Would STRONGLY recommend. 8/10

    like it reminds me of blazblue in the just the control scheme only, but that's expected from most Arc Sys games, it feels simple but can be hard to master properly despite the 4 buttons, highly recommened!

    Most underrated fighting game I have ever played. Would I have enjoyed the sequel more? Yeah probably. Did I have the money for it? No. Either way this game is goated and I wish more people played it so I actually have people to play against. Games got a solid learning curve, pretty high skill ceiling but isn't too hard for beginners. I'd give the game overall an 8.5/10. Also this games got W goons.

    One of the most satisfying fight games I've played. Very crisp, punchy. Characters have a good variety of movesets and it's easy for any skill level to pick up. Definitely grab this one.
