This pricing model is where Killer Instinct's potential annoyances come to light. If you want additional characters, you can purchase them piecemeal for $4.99 a pop or opt for one of the character packs. You'll be limited to using one rotating character, but you can otherwise take a deep, nearly unrestricted dive into the game's many options and features. The upside is that you can give the game a go before deciding to open your wallet. Unlike other most other respected fighting games, Killer Instinct is, technically, a free-to-play title. Killer Instinct Season 1 doesn't even boast that lower graphics resolution, so you'll be slumming it in the 720p gutter. The most obvious difference between the two versions is the graphical output: Killer Instinct for Xbox One ($77.11 at Walmart) renders at 4K resolution, while Killer Instinct on Xbox One renders at 900p-if you've purchased Season 2 or Season 3, that is. It's a title that I reviewed a few years back on Microsoft's home console, so this review focuses on the updated PC-centric feature set. Killer Instinct on PC is nearly the same game as its Xbox One counterpart. Killer Instinct's an incredibly fun fighter, but its money-sucking season-based release schedule may prevent it from becoming a PC game with mass appeal.
Killer Instinct has a combo-friendly engine that caters to both noobs and pros, incredibly detailed graphics that boast ridiculous particle effects, and an over-the-top announcer who screams your accomplishments at the top of his lungs.
And you can even start playing it for free. Thankfully, Iron Galaxy-the development team that picked up the Killer Instinct reigns after Double Helix, the original developer, was purchased by Amazon-has delivered a remarkably fun title that's more than worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as its well-received competition. With its arrival, Microsoft's combo-heavy, one-on-one game of fisticuffs joined the likes of Blazblue, Guilty Gear, The King of Fighters, and Street Fighter and other high-profile series that now grace the personal computer. When Killer Instinct debuted for Windows 10 in March 2016, it represented the latest chapter in the continued PC fighting game renaissance.
