I just want to start this off by saying this is a fun game to play with your friends. I'm keeping it because I can never have too many fighting games, and the variety in weapons makes it fun to pair up different characters in combat. That being said, I don't recommend this game for the following reasons: -Insane difficulty curve in story mode. You start your journey fighting ridiculously easy enemies in the …

With the recent influx of 2D fighters on Steam, sometimes the key to getting noticed is to have a different approach. Koihime Enbu's angle is "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", but almost every character is a girl. Guan Yu? Cao Cao? Sun Shang Xiang!? All girls. Furthermore, this game is a spin-off of Koihime Musou, an adult visual-novel/strategy game about a young man who travels back in time to this Three Kingdoms …

If you're into old school fighting games from the 90's that use footsies, this game will interest you. It plays very similar to SAMURAI SHOWDOWN when it comes to footsies and the HEAVY damage as punishment if you commit a reckless mistake, with more that just a simple fierece slash(the "hiougi system" combo counter). Its quite accessible from newbs to veterans, and the online netcode(delay based) is really good …

While it may be an 'Anime' Fighting game it plays more like your traditional 2D Capcom or SNK fighter. Moves have huge recovery and not everything is cancellable, on block you’ll always be minus, meaning you have to be smart with your button choice. Frame traps are non-existent because of this outside of chaining jabs together. The lack of air dash, air blocking and constant pressure separates this from the ‘anime’ …

Easy to get into, but hard to master. The combat revolves around the basics, meaning knowing when to charge in or hold back and being able to string in small combos whenever the opportunity presents itself, will earn you victory. Like most Anime-style fighters you are able to combine dizzyingly long combos but it requires to make use of the high-risk, high Reward Fatal Counter system. The Fatal Counter system can be …

Players who liked Koihime Enbu talk about footsie-focused gameplay similar to Samurai Shodown; those who didn't talk about steep difficulty spike in story mode. Which matters more to you?

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of my biggest struggles when starting a new fighting game with no piror knowledge is picking the first character. In this case, I let the Random Gods decide and the lord has choosen me the pink haired loli. And I said. Okay. After struggling through the counter attack hell. I finally came out victorious. And I was rewarded with loli bikinis and big tiddies. After my right arm was sapped of strength, I sat back and thought to myself. What a reward.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A lot of focus on art and visuals but not much on gameplay mechanics and balance. It's fun on a casual, non-competitive level. And I don't mean competitive as in EVO or tryhards, I mean competitive as in "I want to fight my opponent on fair ground in a well balanced arena and win by my own merits and skill." It's not even a case of character tiers or any particular character just outclassing the others, it's the fact that the universal systems are pretty weak. Things that you expect from…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →For what it offers especially in the market right now, it's simply not worth the $30+ pricetag.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Thoughts so far: A nice base game, but the netcode is awful, the playerbase is non existent on RELEASE DATE, and it sports a 35 dollar price tag fix your ♥♥♥♥ before charging that much degica.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As someone who absolutely loves games in all their forms, it's hard to be so harsh on Koihime Enbu. It offers up a combination of buxom young women and ancient Chinese literature that I'm certain would have never been made in the west. However, content is light and as such, the characters don't shine as much as they could without prior knowledge of their personality and mannerisms. Koihime Enbu is a fun purchase if you're a big time fighting game fanatic, but it's hard to recommend it to the…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →In short, its Weeb bait. Way too expensive for a game that offers neither depth nor satisfaction. And honestly the price is my biggest complaint. If I could find it again for like 50% or more off I'd pick it up again for funsies and time killing. But, this is my personal experiences here, I can find a game with all the scantily clad anime females I could want in Skullgirls (a MUCH more in depth fighter) which is 10$ or Vanguard Princess (has maybe one or two fewer characters but pretty much…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Koihime Enbu is a fast paced 2d anime style fighting game featuring a cast of all females with variety of weapons and flash abilities. Comes with upbeat music and learnable universal inputs for all characters. Great fighting games for those who wants to get into the fighting genre. The game doesn't have any complex combos or technical skills such as air guards etc but can be challenging enough that veterans can pull off some freestyle combos using bounce and stun techniques.

The developers were kind enough to send me a review key for my channel, so I delved in expecting a mediocre fighting game, but I was wrong. It has been one of the most incredible new and fresh experiences I have had the pleasure of having recently. Everything feels so responsive and…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really enjoyed this, had smooth online matches at 60fps. Doesn't take a lot of skills to git gud. Was originally weary of the small roster, but the characters look very good , high amount of detail;so I'll dismiss the roster. If you are a fan of anime girl fighters, pick this up.

OST that play on the stages are nice to hear and make you feel like a boss. as well the menu is simple and that's find. As well if you know the Koihime Musou series, and been dieing for more content, from Baseson on your end of the world, then buy this game.…

positive · AI labelView post →How to start this review. The game is fun, and very well done, but there was a few things that bugged me while I was playing it. First The AI seems learn incredibly faster after stage 5 witch make stage 6 almost unbeatable to somebody who have mobility dificulties. I don't know if there's a dificultie level in the story mode... didn't really searched for that. But i was destroying the AI in the first 5th stage and then, was barelly able to make a few move before being KOed by the AI in stage…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →#combotober Day 1: Throwing Hands! For this challenge, I picked Gakushin from Koihime Enbu, the only hand-to-hand fighter in a game full of weapon users, and avoided anything with a kick animation. I might've fudged the definition a bit, but I really didn't wanna fall back on boxer characters.
neutral · AI labelView post →(Reuploaded due to the people behind Valcarta: Rise of the Demon going through my profile and dislike-bombing my reviews) You know, it’s not easy to find an actually bad fighting game; sure, Street Fighter V sticks out like a sore thumb due to its massive mismanagement and being left unfinished, but the common modern fighter always has a well-executed formula. Koihime Enbu joined the fighting game frenzy on Steam last month, but here I am, delivering a review for this site at long last. Better…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was somewhat interested in this game in the past but it was only released in the japan. I'm glad this has finally been localized and decided to pick it up and it's been really fun so far. Gameplay: Has alot to Street Fighter due to it the way it borrows some elements from it such as: Small set of moves but technically doubled if count EX attacks. EX special moves take 1 meter to strenghten the specials. Maximum stock 4 meter that carry over to next round. Combo strings are usually not too…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Core combat is fun, core game is overpriced and not fun. For 40$ you want to have at least a competent fighting game. Enbu gives you about 80% of that and to it's credit, that is a pretty good percentage from a relatively no-name series/dev team. The problem with Koihime Enbu is that last 20% is the biggest problem in the game: the AI. The AI of this game is terrible. It's input-reading laziness that you can either trick or get countered depending on trial and error. Without fail, I have…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I played the game some time now and I can't overcome the animation... it's stiff and automaton like for almost all characters apart from Gakushin or Shuta. The others look like dolls or actionfigures played by invisible hands. It simply puts me off greatly... for the same reason 3D animation often ruins the immersion in many animes... the movement looks unnatural with limbs being stiff as wood in unnatural positions while the rest of the body moves. I don't get it 3D animation can look good…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →amazing fighter but not worth 43 dollars
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Combat is basic but fun, the art style and characters are unique. A competent 2D fighter, and if your into anime styled fighters gives this one a look.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this is BAD.. like extra bad... gameplay, animations, everything about it is just horrible. If you want an anime fighter go play blazblue, guilty gear, melty blood or anything but this. Stay AWAY from this.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is surprisingly fun. Has really short simple combos until someone hits a fatal counter, and then you can get really creative with new juggles. Netplay is ok too, although it can get extremely bad sometimes. Playing online reminds me most of sf4's delay style with the slowdowns and stuff. Worth giving a try despite the high price.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →working like a charm even with no name controller,is a very good aqusition for everyone because the fight is smooth , graphic and special effects are at a normal value.Worth the price 10/10.

positive · AI labelView post →One of the most beginner friendly 2D fighting games out there. The inputs for each character's moveset are identical and pretty easy to execute. No crazy input strings to worry about in this game. The game is also a blast to play. Unfortunately, I think the competitive scene is pretty dead so good luck finding human players to play with. I tried matching with players online and had no such luck. For $5 though I would say this is still worth it for the arcade mode alone.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game. Something different. The mechanics are really really good, and the actual hits feel meaty when you land. It kinda reminds me of SAMURAI SHOWDOWN but with combo's XD. Its a really good game. Runs good. Althought I have a 980ti. I can't seem to find any options to change the graphics but from what I see its 1080p at least. My Arcade stick works great. I have the Hori Rapp4 ps3/ps4/pc version with custom buttons and it works great. OH and yea the characters are really good…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The best fighting game tutorial I ever experienced I'm dead serious. I'm a beginner in FGs, bought SF5, Tekken 7, Skullgirls and all of ArcSys, but never learnt any as well as Koihime Enbu. Why? I guess expectations. When picking up popular games, I know it's gonna be good, and might stick to it more because it's cool than because I want it myself, even though I really love fighting games. Even on obscure games, as long as it seems good, I think I wanna skip the learning as quick as possible…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Some cute girls don't make up for the overly simplistic fighting, annoying voicing, underdone animation, and poor to outright missing translation. I like that the game focuses on smaller combos and basic moves, but you can do that without stripping down so much else of the fighting. I am a bit biased, though, because I have a partner to play fighters, and we can play this way whenever we want in any game, without needing the game to enforce it by removing options. Still, some credit for…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A fighting game with no in game tutorials or character combo guide. Mediocre music, decent visuals but there are definitely more fighting games out there that do a much better job. The online is completely dead. If you happen to have people to play with locally it might be worth your time but personally I'd go for Killer Instinct or the soon to be released 30th anniversary collection of Street Fighter (SF3, SF3 alpha online).
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cool fighting game with some really nice background art, cool waifus fighters, fast paced gameplay, easy to pick up and have soem fun with friends and relaly nice soundtrack. The assist characters add some nice depth to strategy though , for better or worse, many are tied to specific characters (i guess for story reasons?), it would be nice if you had free reign on this. Arcade and story modes also included!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was hoping for something fun and accessable for some casual fighting gameplay (I don't won't to put in a lot of time learning specific timing to perform combos). While the actual execution of inputs is easy to learn, this does require more disciplined inputs that more advanced fighting game players usually have. This is closer to strict link execution instead of leniant buffering of inputs that are funner for casual fighting game players. I wouldn't recommend this to any casual fighting…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I played this game on the PS3 a few months ago and just checked the overall PC performance. It`s as good as the PS3/PS4 version (no framerate drops, bugs etc.) and if you like anime waifu fighting games this is definitely a pick up. Here is some gameplay of the PC version (story mode): https://youtu.be/qgsT83iitYQ
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very good fighting game, really does as advertised, in terms of ease of playability for varying skill levels. Fatal Counter system is deadly, but punishable, as it leaves opponents in a crumple state if it lands, but is minus on block, and therefore extremely punishable. Fatal Counters are universal, and require the same inputs for each character, which are the following; 3B, 3C, 6B, & 6C, and some characters have an extra Fatal Counter input. Cast doesn't vary in terms of the inputs you…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have been having a lot of fun with this game, it isn't important to leave 20 hit combos it is more about the basics footsies and pokes. There is good variety in the characters and they all seem pretty balanced to me. The player base in ranked is pretty small really, but I recommend adding all the people local in your region from the forums and just inviting them for a game through friends list. I have had no problem getting a game when I want that way, adds a social element to it I dont…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Decided to give this game a try since it looked like a basic fighting game and... I honestly enjoyed the short time with it. I've never really played an "anime" style fighting game before, but this one was pretty fun. The dialogue in story mode with Sousou was hilarious and the diffuculty actually ramped up the further I got. No longer could I just button mash. I jumped into training mode and despite Sousou being my favorite character, I leaned towards a different one, which brings me to the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →what nudity? it's in the tags. But over all it's not a good fighting game either the game list and tutials are there if you look for them. But letting my kid play there is no easy or hard setting and playing it myself the game seems to be easy and around level 7 or so jumps to hard. wish this had it's own seeting so over all i think you can find something better.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Despite the art this is a surprisingly good fighting game, especially for people who like Samurai Shodown.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →When you think of fighting games packed with only female characters, some of which wearing rather skimpy outfits, you probably immediately think it’s not going to be something you’d want to be caught playing. However, Koihime Enbu focusses on providing a no-frills, easy-to-get-into fighting game without falling prey to coming out as a pervy mess.

The main roster is made up of a collection of buxom and at times possibly under-age anime girls accompanied by a selection of side characters that add to each characters abilities. Each character also comes with a selection of colours and as you fight through the game via either the arcade or storyline mode you are…
