UNDER NIGHT IN-BIRTH Exe:Late[st] Reviews
Good fighting game that may be too ugly for a 2018 fighter, but manages to entertain during a big amount of time.

Under Night in-birth exe: late(st) has been a fun discovery for me, in a genre that is full of big impressive franchise names. If the fans of the franchise are rare or rather niche, the game is still a fun addition to the fighting game repertoire, even if it lacks its personality and is overall crude visually for this generation.
Under Night In-Birth EXE: Late{st} is a fighting game that deserves to be played but will inevitably be overshadowed by its competition. It's a shame because its $50 price tag is worth it for the tutorial alone.
I personally had no idea what Under night is, but after doing some research I understand that it's a visual novel as well as a 2D fighting game. Which has it's pros and cons…
The generic and fairly uninteresting plot doesn't do much to drive the player to read the entire visual novel section, but the button smashing frenzy of the fighting portions and various game modes will keep you coming back for more.
Under Night In-Birth Exe Night: Late[st] is a fighting game based on a solid gameplay and able to offer a great challenge. Despite the fact that it provides a good support to newcomers, the game only offers its best if you can fully master the intense and excited rhythms of the combat system. 2D graphic and the typical Japanese character design are an added value or a minor flaw, depending on your taste. In any case, we're facing a carefully, crafted game, which certainly deserves a chance if you're a fan of the genre.

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.
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] is a great middle ground between the Street Fighters and the anime fighters that exist today with a deep and yet accessible gameplay and great tutorial.
UNDER NIGHT IN-BIRTH Exe:Late[st] is a flashy fighter that is a welcome addition to the fighting game community. It's not the deepest game around, but its unique mechanics and anime stylings will appeal to both novice fighters and seasoned vets.
There's no way this will ever be a mainstream fighting game, but it's still a blast to play.
I tend to be pretty good at fighting games, but it's rare that any of the ones I play truly click with me. Back in 2015, Under Night on PS3 totally clicked with me. The balance between simple character movesets and how system mechanics elevate those moves into an endless suite of juicy combos is something I found myself attracted to like a magnet to an iron bar. Beyond that, though, Under Night sports a dynamic cast of characters and some of the prettiest 2D visuals I've seen in a fighting game. Exe:Late[st] takes the delicious Under Night cake and adds an entire extra layer of your favorite flavor, plus the garnishes and decorative frosting to make it stand out again, 3 years later.
Under Night In-Birth Exe: Late[st] is an excellent fighting game, but if you've already played through Exe: Late on the PS3, there's not much here to entice you to upgrade. The new Chronicles Mode is ultimately a disappointing slog. While there are two new characters to learn and master, with the current fighting game climate, there's likely not many people you'll be able to try them out against. It's a shame, because Exe: Late[st] is a fine fighting game in its own right, but will inevitably be lost in the shuffle.
Quick on the attack and heavy on style, Under Night In-Birth Exe:Late[st] is a fighting game that requires an equal mix of brawn and brain to survive its unique take on all-or-nothing fisticuffs.
With stylish combat, a ton of game modes and fun combat, UNDER NIGHT IN-BIRTH Exe:Late[st] is a blast, especially online with friends.
Under Night In-Birth Exe:Late[st] should satisfy fans of the fighting genre, if they are willing to look past its flaws and spend time perfecting the art of combat for the game's sometimes shaky online mode. As a single player experience, it is well-suited for a couple of friends to pass the time thanks to being fun and accessible.
In a crowded period for fighting games, French-Bread has come out with a very strong contender that should not be overlooked. Although Under Night In-Birth Exe:Late[st] is a port instead of an entirely brand new title, there is enough added here - and the game is that good - that it deserves all the attention it gets. Dedicated fans will appreciate the comprehensive chronicle mode that addresses the previous version's shortcomings, whilst the level of depth gone into enabling both casual and long-time fighting players to get invested thanks to the excellent tutorial and mission modes contributes to the overall satisfyingly packed range of content. A balanced cast and intricate combat system top off this stylish anime fighter.
The total package offered by Under Night In-Birth Exe: Late[st] is one worth checking out.
UNDER NIGHT IN-BIRTH Exe:Late[st] is a very well crafted fighter with great artwork characters and a compelling set of mechanics. If you have patience for the story mode you will be able to find even more to enjoy.
