For those who have never played Under Night In-Birth, this version is the definitive version to buy. UNICLR is an incredible anime fighting game that has held up well over the years. The online mode isn't as active as one might wish, but the story, visuals, game modes, and gameplay are fantastic. I recommend this to new players and veterans of fighting games alike.
If you've never played it before, Under Night In-Birth, [cl-r] is the best version to be bought of an excellent 2D fighting game. The free update is aimed at long-time fans with a new balance and new attacks. The new characters are a great addition to the roster and recommended to those that like agile characters. If you have already tried previous versions of the game, this next update doesn't bring anything new that will change any opinion.

It's oozing with style, it's shockingly accessible, and the back-and-forth exchanges prompted by the Grind Grid system make for non-stop excitement in every match. There's even a fifteen hour visual novel experience in the Chronicles mode that helps flesh out the world and characters of Under Night In-Birth, though personally I think I'm more afraid of understanding all the insane proper nouns in the plot summary than I am excited. This was a worthy addition to both the EVO lineup and the Switch lineup, and there's nothing I want more now than to see the game finally reach the mainstream success it deserves.
If you're looking for a solid fighting game with tons of content, replay value and a deep story, Under Night In-Birth Exe: Late [cl-r] is a must-have whether you're a newcomer to the saga or a seasoned veteran.
French Bread and Arc System Works' fighting game Under Night In-Birth Exe:Late[cl-r] is brilliant, but may deter some with its high learning curve.
Under Night In-Birth: EXE Lat [cl-r] doesn't roll off easily but it doesn't mean this is not a wonderful fighting game. Thanks to its array of characters, a fine-tuned combo system (which admittedly can get frustrating at moments) and an eye-popping audiovisual world, this is an experience that easily amounts to the definitive version of this game and which will quickly become a favourite within the competitive fighting game communities.

Even though very little has changed in Under Night In-Birth Exe:Late[cl-r] besides the finer points, it makes for a worthwhile experience for both sides. Newcomers have plenty of offline modes to test their skills or play around and a rather robust training system that genuinely wants to help you. Returning or skilled players will likely enjoy the new character and find new possibilities with the changes. Given current owners can simply upgrade it will probably be worth it, especially if you're a fan of the franchise.
Under Night In-Birth Exe: Late[cl-r] simply puts up a bloody good fight and that’s all you can ask for. The cavalcade of modes in which to sink your teeth into is just the icing on an already delicious cake.
As someone who's experienced and loves faster-paced fighting games, this is an easy win and Under Night's formula tweaks help keep just different enough you feel like you're mastering a weapon. However, this isn't for everyone and if you're after something more feature complete like a proper story mode.
UNDER NIGHT IN-BIRTH Exe:Late[cl-r] is full of modes and unlockable content that will undoubtedly entertain anyone remotely interested in anime-styled fighting games. The new character Londrekia, new moves, and additional content compellingly expand the already substantial UNDER NIGHT experience.
While it doesn’t add as much as ST did, if you’re like me and only played Late, or never played any prior versions of the game, then this is still absolutely the one to go with, and is one that’s fairly fun to pick up and learn too, thanks to the crazy in-depth tutorial and huge gallery of content to unlock. Just don’t expect much of a bump up of content if you played ST previously, especially on PS3 or Vita.
By no means does Under Night In-Birth Exe:Late[cl-r] bring anything truly revolutionary to the series or even the fighting genre at this point, but it is slick, stylized and plays wonderfully. Fans of the one-on-one fighting genre should find plenty to like here, and this is about as accessible of a new fighter as you will find that on the market, while still having plenty of depth for those who really want to delve in and learn the characters.
It's certainly going to be a long and tricky climb of proficiency to be able to play mind-games with a human opponent, the combo system has been simplified and has enough single player content to allow new comers to the fighting game genre to enjoy this title. The tutorial actually teaches the basic fundamentals of a 2D fighting game and some insights on what the opponents may think and react to your certain actions. It is a good entry level fighting game which will also help you transition into understanding and playing other fighting game titles.

The combat mechanics are deep and extremely interesting to master, but this new release doesn't offer enough additions to the ones who already bought Exe: Late[st].

Stylish, methodical, and encouraging attacking gameplay, this latest Under Night In-Birth title is as exciting as always, and Switch owners that have yet to try the series out are in for a treat, with plenty of modes, a lengthy visual novel chronicle, online play, and a varied cast of characters. Despite the array of balance and move tweaks, though, this just isn't enough of an improvement over the previous title, with only one extra character being introduced. This is still a top anime fighter, though, and a good alternative to BlazBlue.
