Iron Galaxy did NOT kill Killer Instinct. They took what Double Helix revived and made it even better. Killer Instinct is an awesome fighting game and I am so happy the franchise was revived.
That doesn’t mean everything in the game is perfect though! The game has many flaws, and there are things in the game I do not agree with, such as the clone characters, guest characters, the different story modes for the different seasons, the fact not all characters will get Ultimates…
To roll it around though, that doesn’t mean I hate the game! IG made some decisions I don’t agree with, but the game is still good! And Iron Galaxy did an amazing job, imo. I just wish they did some things differently…
I mean, come on… Shin Hisako? Just like I said with Kilgore, I understand why they are making these clone characters… it’s cheaper and it’s easier to grab some assets already in the game and alter them to make something different. But thing is, it isn’t what I personally like. I want unique and new characters, I want originality, I want entirely new designs. IG gave us that in Season 2, and it was absolutely awesome!
To me, this shows that the game is at its last breath. These clone characters are just something extra, its what they can afford to make within the end of the game’s life. It’s like they just want to add SOMETHING, so they are trying to claw at the last bits and pieces left to do that.
It’s disappointing to me. But it is what it is.
