When it comes to Musou games, I already lower my expectations a bit. They’re usually the kind of games you can play without thinking too much (Of course, not every Musou game is like this, some can actually be pretty challenging). But even with my low expectations, this game still managed to bore me. It’s super repetitive, doesn’t really bring anything new to the table, and you’ll probably get bored pretty quickly. …

Purchased for the fanservice, stayed for the fun gameplay. A more challenging musou-like game with great character variety (no clones) and good variety of enemies and boss fights.

goonslop drivel in its most distilled form. it doesn't even pretend to be a game for normal people and i kind of love it for how unrepentant it is about that fact. 100%d because i dont respect myself and to be honest i just wanted more funny interactions between the girls who i came to love despite myself and despite how one note each is. shiki is my girl. vita means life.

I love this game so much that I left it on for 3 days! Kidding, that was an accident. The Good News: I came here for fanservice. I got plenty of that, but also an excellent commentary on grief. Going through a loss myself at the time, this story was genuinely very helpful to me. Even if you don't care about the story, the game's writing is fun over all, & I'd definitely recommend stopping to read it; these girls are …

Personal Rating: Very Positive (85%) I have no idea of what I'm doing, but I'm having fun. Pretty deep combat hack-and-slash, with a LOT of ''angles'' and nice views. When on easy difficulty, it becomes a button masher. There is a dressing room with a lot of customisability and a ''Gacha'' that is only for more lingerie/bikinis, it doesn't interfere with the gameplay, just the visuals. The ''fan-service'' part of it …

89% of the 163 Steam reviewers we collected recommend SENRAN KAGURA ESTIVAL VERSUS. The complaint that keeps coming up: repetitive and boring after a while. Deal-breaker or nitpick?
Critics, per Wikipedia
The game received an aggregate score of 67/100 on Metacritic, for its PlayStation 4 version, indicating "mixed or average reviews". The Vita and PC versions had similar scores, both receiving an aggregate score of 71/100. CJ Andriessen of Destructoid rated the game 75/100, saying he enjoyed the game's "combination of flashy action and fan service", but said that the story does the game no favors and that it was not the best in the series. He called the Vita version playable, but a downgrade in most ways from the PS4 version. Jason Bohn of Hardcore Gamer rated the game 3/5 points, calling the game "aggressively silly" and "dumb fun". He stated that while the game could be seen as…

60 of 249 · most liked firstTo all my homies who saw me playing this game, I bought this game around 22:05 in November. I couldn't choose between cyberpunk, metro exodus, for honor, zenless zone zero, and drawing so instead of sitting and doing nothing I bought this game and I'm playing it, I have absolutely no other purpose. Thank you all for reading. Have a nice day.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A game from a bygone era. created before Sony (yes Sony) partnered with a feminist to eliminate the ecchi tag from gaming and the uglification/censoring of female characters in general. On console, this is probably the closest thing you are going to get to seeing some A & T. BUT ON STEAM, well, you already know. It's available here en mass. so, the only reason to get this would be for the gameplay. Which is good, the story which has its moments of humor, the music which is fitting and the…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →For anyone who remembers, in Senran Kagura Estival Versus, I believe Ryobi's character story was about how the new trend will be big butts and started singing a song about butts and rice, but was this the same in English? Does anyone know how that was translated? Just curious, so no worries if not.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Don't let anyone guilt trip you for enjoying what used to be common content on consoles 10 years ago. Screw radical feminists and censorship and everyone who calls fanservice sexist. It's a Musou style game, where grunts are brain dead, Shinobis are the real challenge. And it has 3 difficulty settings. Lots of characters to play with, not counting DLC. Glorious fanservice. Be sure to try the hands feature in the dressing room. Holy moly. You can rebind controls. The camera can be annoying…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The short playtime here is totally wrong – I played this game to 100% completion on PS4, but only recently started re-playing on PC (because I only recently had a PC that could actually run the game properly). ^So that might be my biggest critique, is that when I bought this on Steam, I was pretty sure my old computer was going to be able to run it – i.e., I thought I met the system requirements – but in actuality it barely ran at all on that PC. I’d recommend being comfortably above the…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Came in for the girls, stayed for the gameplay. You'll easily guess what attracted me to this game 9+ years ago, and it definitely commits hard to being a sultry, unapologetic, eye-candy first, everything-else later kind of game, but I was decently surprised at how fun it is outside of that too. While by today's standards the girls are mostly tired anime clichés, with little depth to the story outside of weird, bordering on tame, fetish-like interactions (sometimes) and excuses to get them in…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I feel so very bad for those who shun this franchise and consider it only fanservice. Like how the lead in the thrash metal band Slayer described this (except they were talking about album covers), the fanservice--although an undeniable aspect to the franchise--serves more so like a barrier, or a gate. Those who do not accept it or are stopped by it are never truly meant to experience this franchise. Those who accept it as part of the experience will open the doors to one of the most…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have mixed feelings about this game. It's definitely a step down from previous titles, so if you've never played Senran Kagura before, don't start here (The story won't make any sense unless you've played Senran Kagura Shinobi Versus). Initially I was intrigued by the some new mechanics like wall-attacks and tag-team aerial raids, but after playing around with them for a while, I began to realize just how useless they really are. The combat is noticeably slower than older games, and special…

Despite this being my first game I still felt able to enjoy the story and characters even if I was unfamiliar with them. Speaking of characters, Imu is my absolute favorite and she needs more love!!! My only gripe is that theres no help menu, so if you want to review game controls you'll have to google it along with how there's no preview for shop items (But…

Similar to those titles, but its a lot more focused on character on character battles rather than open maps with battlefields of course Each character has some depth with combos to learn, and the game can be punishing on Hard difficulty.

Only worth it with mods to actually see nudity in your 18+ game and after since it is so dead youre gonna just be against cpu to grind for items that dont change much. even doa extreme beach volley ball is more worth it cause at least that is a horny game that wants you to play alone. Naraku though is cute and she made me play it for the 17 hours I did.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Estival Versus is basically the beach episode of Senran Kagura. The gameplay is a lot slower than SV and is closer to Burst. And it's pretty good actually. The story also has surprisingly great moments between getting bombarded by anime tiddies. The side stories are really good as well.
