Killer Instinct

Killer Instinct is a spin off from its older version that was on Nintendo 64. Killer instinct is a fighting game that focuses on combos the longer the combo the greater the damage. Killer instinct is a fun and different fighting game. It fun and free, but that’s how they get you in. To those that played the 64 version on Killer Instinct you’ll see some of the old characters you know and love. There’s Jago, Saber wolf, and Orchid and so on, so let talk about the good stuff.

Story Line

Killer Instinct really doesn’t have story line but each individual character does.

This character name is Jago. His back ground story is Tibetan monk on the path of enlightenment by fighting the evil within himself. He joins the tournament to help the battle within himself.

 

This charter is Sabrewulf. Sabrewulf is affected with the Lycanthropy disease and he joins the tournament in look for a cure.

 

This charter Chief Thunder. Thunder is the chief of Native Americans and joins the tournament in search for answers for his brother Eagle 

 

This character is Orchid. In the older version of Killer Instinct her name was B. Orchid, but her story is that she is a secret agent; that is investigating the Killer Instinct tournament.

 

Glacius is next. His story is that he an alien that is on a mission to get the spices that ultartec has captured, but crash landed and held captive till this upcoming tournament.

 

Sadira is the leader of Red Eyes Rylai Assassins, and she has watched the tournament and decided to join and eliminate all of her competition. 

 

Online Multiplayer

Killer Instinct has a fun online. You have to know how to play to go online because people know there controls online.  The control’s for Killer Instinct are like Street Fighter; for example let’s look at Jago’s moves.

He has 4 Special Moves that can be done. There so much more that can be learned when you know how to do those move. Those move can be strung into a combo, or used to start a combo, and link combos together. Each character has their own move set that can be learned and their own combos. The connection for online is pretty fast along with everything else. Sometimes you will join a laggy match (that means you movements are delayed).

Graphics and Sounds

Graphics are a hell of an improvement from when Killer Instinct first appeared. Killer Instinct has clear and crisp graphics. The sound effects are funny to me in Killer Instinct. I say that because when you’re on the verge of winning or losing; your health bar reaches a danger state (look at the picture below) the winning player can do a combo to finish the other player. That combo is called an ultra-combo and that triggers that player ultra-combo music.

   My Thoughts

Killer Instinct was hard to grasp at first with all the button commands, continuing combos, and linking combos. At first I sucked at Killer instinct and that made me not want to play it, I’m ashamed to say. That made me more determined to understanding the game. So I started to play Killer Instinct more and found out more combo and stopped button mashing (pressing random buttons).  After I got the hang of the game I started to kick ass. I’m not the best yet but I know my way around. This is the best fighting game out and it’s free, but if you don’t buy and characters you’ll get bored of this game. I never played the Nintendo version of this game, but owning the Xbox One version made me respect the older version. If I could paraphrase this game in on word it would be Godlike. My favorite character is Shadow Jago (picture below) because his move reminds me of Ryu from Street fighter, and he looks badass. Shadow Jago is an easy character to understand because their move are alike.
