Ryuko is a versatile brawler. Pummel your enemies with strong Scissor Blade attacks, enhance your Blood prowess with Senketsu abilities, and manipulate your deck with a plethora of Mako cards. You may encounter other familiar faces along the way as you ascend the Spire.

Blood – Blood empowers Senketsu and Ryuko, allowing her to deal additional damage, use powerful abilities, regenerate health, draw additional cards, and gain extra energy. Make sure not to spend too much at once, as negative Blood amounts will hurt Ryuko. As Mako says – if you die from blood loss, then you totally die.

Bleed – Turn-based damage over time effect. Deals 2 damage per stack, decrements by 2 per turn. Has special interactions with Vulnerable and a host of supporting attacks, skills and powers that provide other related benefits.

Kill la Kill: The Mod was designed using the Default Mod template. Wherever possible, cards, relics and events were designed to be constrained to only appear in game when playing Ryuko. I have not performed extensive testing while using other mods. If you encounter issues, please post or comment with your crash logs and I will do what I can to address them.

Ryuko’s character sprite was animated in Spriter using heavily edited Sushio drawings.

The majority of the card art was sourced from thousands of screen caps I took from the anime series. A few images were screenshots from the Kill la Kill IF video game.

I created all of the custom SFX by editing and mixing samples from the base game, free samples from Freesound.org, samples from the English dub of Kill la Kill, samples from Darkest Dungeon, and samples from Deep Rock Galactic.

I solo produced all of the custom music in this mod. If you want to see what the orchestral covers look like in FL Studio, feel free to visit my Youtube channel (link on the side)

Very sincere thanks to my extremely sharp and insightful beta testers: adadadpd, mcslave198, neon-kitten, and Slaying_The_Spire, all of whom provided excellent suggestions for balance, features, and offered encouragement that kept me going through to the end.

Thank you to 老黄 and CaptainSnafu for the Chinese localization!

This mod is a passion project brought to you by me, a diehard fan of both Kill la Kill and Slay the Spire. I am not a programmer. I’m not even a hobbyist amateur coder. I will most likely never code anything ever again. But I spent six months putting this mod together just because Kill la Kill is my favorite anime series of all time and Slay the Spire is one of my favorite video games of all time. I wanted to do right by both properties – I’ve done my best to make the gameplay feel true to the spirit of vanilla Slay the Spire while adding a uniquely Kill la Kill flavor to it.
