Under Night In-Birth Exe:Late[st]

With Under Night In-Birth Exe:Late[st], we've got another deep Japanese fighting experience on the PS4. It doesn't have the looks to go toe-to-toe with some of the shinier games out there, but as Han Solo said, "she might not look like much, but she's got it where is counts". If you can get past the mad title, this is a portal through which to jump in to the virtually endless realm of combat experimentation.

Under Night In-Birth Late[st] is the complete package for fighting game fans, with the visual novel-like story being the only potential let down for anyone that isn't used to how Arc System Works do things. It's even worth buying, despite the excellent recent fighting game releases, because the combo flexibility and and accessibility for both experienced and inexperienced fighting game fans is fairly unique even among fighters.

Under Night In-Birth Exe: Late[st] brings new additions to the table, but doesn't offer massive improvements over the games that came before it.

Perhaps the biggest reason I even decided to look at this game is still the most important: UNIST probably had a total budget for this game that was less than whatever Namco paid to have Negan from The Walking Dead put into Tekken 7. The fact that these quality fighters exist is a testament to their respective developers’ passion for the genre.

In spite of its flaws, Exe:Late[st] is still an excellent 2D fighter. The game modes are fun, the fighting is tight, and the grind grid mechanic shakes up the gameplay in a good way.

Under Night In-Birth Exe:Late[st] is a solid addition to the previous game and just as fun to play. If you missed Under Night In-Birth Exe:Late when it came out, you really owe it to yourself to give this a try over the more extortionate fighting games.

Aksys Games have done an awesome job with this game. It is both interesting for the casual and advanced players, and has more than enough content to keep you busy for a while. The only downfall for this game is that it was released in the same time as some major AAA fighting games that might make you not see it, but if you like 2D fighters, this one is a must-play on PlayStation.

This "Late[st]" version of Under Night In-Birth EXE adds some stuff to a very cool and technical fighting game that every fan of the genre should try.

I really liked my time back in the Under Night In-Birth Exe:Late universe, and do feel that Under Night In-Birth Exe:Late[st] improves on the overall formula, adding a massive story thanks to Chronicles mode as well as two new fighters to the already considerably lineup.

When it's all said and done Under Night as a whole is a great fighting game.
