Under
Night In-Birth: EXE Late[st]
ABOUT: The
latest arcade update to Under Night In-Birth originally released in
May 2015, resulting in one of the most absurdly named fighting games in recent times... Under
Night In-Birth: EXE Late[st]. It's also a bitch to type, and I'm not sure
I've ever managed to type it once without having to hit backspace. 
If you're lucky enough NOT to work on a gaming website and don't
actually have to type
out this game's full name, you can conveniently dub the game "UNIST"...
I envy you. 
Anyhow, the "latest" rendition of
Under
Night In-Birth features quite a bit of new content over the original
version released on PlayStation 3 in 2014 / 2015.

|
|
UNIEL's
roster grows to twenty.
|
The all
new Chronicle mode
unravels the mystery behind the events and characters of the mysterious
"Hollow Night". Other new single-player modes include practical combat
missions and a Tutorial mode to help new players learn the gameplay and combo
systems. The updated
roster now features 20 playable characters, including 4 newcomers: Phonon, Mika,
Enkidu and Wagner. All of the classic console modes like Arcade, Practice,
Gallery, etc. have returned from the previous console version.

Enkidu
just might be a descendant of Geese Howard...

Dust off that old PlayStation 3 fightstick, because Under Night In-Birth: EXE Late[st] supports most legacy controllers for the new PlayStation 4 version. UNIST also features cross-play support,
allowing PS4 and PS3 players to fight against one another. While the PS4 and PS3 versions feature cross-play, the PS Vita version does not.

Training Mode &
Missions help new players learn the ropes.

BOTTOM LINE

| First Impression: |
I definitely enjoyed the PS3 version of Under Night
In-Birth... which is saying a lot, since I'm usually not a huge fan
of "comparable" anime-style fighting games.
As I stated in my original review of Under Night In-Birth... this one's different, special even. The pace of UNIEL's gameplay feels remarkably solid, the combo system is intuitive and fun, the character designs are
interesting, well-designed & nicely animated... especially for 2D fighting game fans.
