Evaluation
KILL la KILL -IF launched on July 25, 2019. Following release, the developer shipped a series of bug fix and patch updates in the months after launch, culminating in the addition of Mako Mankanshoku as a new playable fighter on November 29, 2019 — the game's only major content update. There is no evidence of any developer communication after November 29, 2019, and no unreleased DLC is listed on the store. The DLC content that exists (costume packs, character DLC) all appears to have shipped. The game launched with a focused roster based on the anime property and the November 2019 patch represents the final major addition. With over six years of silence from the developer and no outstanding commitments or announced future content, the game can be considered a complete, finished product as of November 29, 2019.
Evidence
Mako Mankanshoku added as a new playable character in v1.20 update — the game's only major post-launch content addition. This is also the last developer news post on record.
v1.10 patch implementing console version updates and new features.

About this game
The critically acclaimed 2013 anime title that shook the streets of Honnou City, 'KILL la KILL' finally makes a comeback as an action fighting game! Play as Satsuki Kiryuin, Ryuko Matoi, and more, and indulge in the alternate story that will draw you deeper into the vivid and action filled world of 'KILL la KILL'.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In pursuit of the truth behind her father's death - "the wielder of the Scissor Blade", Ryuko Matoi enrolls into the Honnouji Academy.
In Honnouji Academy, there exists a special uniform, the "Goku Uniform", said to bestow special powers upon those who wear it. And the Student President, Satsuki Kiryuin, has absolute authority over the entire Academy with its powers.
Satsuki, who claims to know of "the wielder of the Scissor Blade".
Ryuko presses on to seek information from her, and this is when fate encounters.
The saga that wreaked havoc onto the Academy, is now spreading to engulf everything!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dominate your opponents with deep mind games, and devastate them with stunning animations.
This is KILL la KILL battle action!
Normal Attacks
A fast attack with little openings. There are "Close Ranged Attack" and "Long Ranged Attack". Press either of the attack buttons repeatedly for auto combo!
Guard
Blocks against all normal attacks and takes no damage. However, players are unable to guard against Break Attacks.
Break Attack
A slow, wide-range heavy attack. Able to penetrate past your opponent's defenses, but leaves you wide open.
Activate the "Bloody Valor" when you're not being attacked, and hit the opponent with the burst to start the debate!
The attacker and the defender will choose from 3 types of phrases; "Taunt (rock)," "Provoke (scissors)," and "Mock (paper)."
The phrases are set up like an RPS game. The attacker wins if they have the stronger hand or is even. If the attacker has the weaker hand, the defender wins.
