What players say

Under Night In Birth II: Sys: Celeste Pizza I don't know if I like that they decided to use DLC for this so-called final entry in the franchise, but I still enjoy it since there's many great new playstyles. I already enjoy Under Night In-Birth anyway and this is basically the best it's been, now that there's rollback. There's tons of content. Still miss the original art style for the character art and CSS.

This still one slickest fighting games around today with great gameplay, excellent soundtrack Even tho the game is very much a discord fighter, just mashing buttons in the arcade mode just because the game feels so good to play

Happy to support this game again, I just need more, love everything about it! Kaguya is crazy fun to play! I was kind of expecting a bigger visual upgrade, but the subtle changes they did are very appreciated. Hope the game has a long life and more dlc.
