Killer Instinct Season One
Xbox One
Publisher: Microsoft
Developer: Double Helix
Killer Instinct was a day one Xbox One launch title that in all fairness, was an incomplete game. Six characters, a limited online mode, no story mode, and oddly enough one of the most in-depth training mode around. So to review the game on those merits alone would probably make people not even bother looking into the famed franchise. So I figured it would be fair to review the game after it's final season one update which finally made Killer Instinct a full game.
For the younger generations, Killer Instinct was a crazy combo fest fighter from the mid 90's that was developed by Rare exclusively for Nintendo to help demerit their kid friendly image. the first Killer Instinct was a great game in its intense twitch based combo system, counters, fatalities and fast paced gameplay. A few years later, Killer Instinct 2 was released with more characters, more insane combos, a new auto-double combo system, and better graphics. Needless to say that the franchise was dropped and completely forgotten by Nintendo and Rare since then. Some years later Rare is sold to Microsoft, and the rumors start flying about a KI revival during the entire lifespan of the Xbox 360. So just before the announcement of the Xbox One system, we received confirmation and here we are a year later.
