Killer Instinct's next free-to-play fighter is Thunder

4.5

The Killer Instinct free-to-play character tour continues with Chieftain Thunder replacing the vicious furry Sabrewulf as the gratis brawler in Double Helix's Xbox One revival.

Thunder wields devastating tomahawks in the reimagining of the arcade and SNES cult hit, which features a handful of characters from the original game in the series. Since launching alongside Microsoft's Xbox One in November, the free-to-play character slot has rotated three combatants into the fray, first offering players a taste of the action with fan favorite Jago.

Killer Instinct offers players the opportunity to purchase characters individually for $5 or as a bundle featuring the game's first eight characters, beginning at $20. Currently only six fighters are available, with returning characters Spinal coming soon and Fulgore coming in March.

I played this game back in the SNES days but haven't gotten the chance to play it on the Xbox One as I don't have one. I think the way they do the game for free but the characters cost money is a very good money trick, just like the iOS in App purchases.

Never played Killer Instinct myself, and it seems like a pretty much mixed bag of reviews. Some like it, some don't. I might give it a try some time.

This game isn't too fun, I find it boring.

GT-R I can remember playing this game on my dads SNES when I was kid. It was fun then but, now I just don't find games like this fun anymore. Still a good classic though.

I feel you. that is how i am

A character change up should be pretty cool. At least they are giving people a chance to experience multiple characters for free
