For everyone else, however, the simplistic beat-’em-up action isn’t likely to be substantial enough for more than a quick laugh or two - barely distinguishable characters and repetitive stage design actually make the teenage titillation quite tedious. If you’re a longtime addict of the tongue-in-cheek T&A action here, you may just find enough to enjoy. Senran Kagura Estival Versus sure has a lot of fanservice…and, unfortunately, not a whole lot else. If you can make it over those hurdles, though, and you’re a fan of the series, then Senran Kagura: Estival Versus won’t disappoint. And then there are those moments that go from crass to downright offensive, which I could certainly do without. Also, I wouldn’t mind seeing the combat introduce something that’s truly unique, rather than feeling like a small step forward from the previous outings. My major gripes are that a lot of the environments, while looking better than ever, are rehashes from previous games. Those who are able to look past the myriad issues will find themselves feeling like they are injecting dumb fun directly into their veins. When forced to step back and examine it as a whole, a more sober perspective must be taken. Therein lies the issue with recommendation: I adore this thing, bumps and all. Fun and frantic, it’s a game worth revisiting for quite a while. It’s aggressively silly, like a pie fired out of a cannon directly into the face.
#SENRAN KAGURA: ESTIVAL VERSUS SERIES#
I wouldn't say it's the best entry in the series with the excessive use of the break mechanic and the story does the game no favors, but the combination of flashy action and fan-service kept me satisfied throughout.įor as many flaws as this game has, it should also be reported that I spent my entire time playing this title with a big, stupid grin on my face. The beat-em-up combo system is just as enjoyable today as it was in the first game, and there is something quite rewarding about studying the move sets of the new characters and also throwing them into a sexy diorama to "study" something else about them. I had fun with Senran Kagura Estival Versus. Release Date: Mar 15th (US), Mar 18th (EU)
