Intriguing, intense and extreme, Killer7 is as relevant, playable, and valuable as it has ever been. This if the game that really put Goichi Suda’s name on the map as one of Japan’s better artists in the field, and to this day nothing else has been able to come even close to offer what Killer7 offers.

Though it lacks an arcade mode or a full-sized character roster, Killer Instinct delivers where it counts.
