    On the one hand: the immaculate attention to dressup unlockables, overactive jiggle physics, clothes destruction, and character animation. On the other hand: a chugging framerate, load times just bad enough to be aggravating, and horrendously flawed game mechanics. You can tell where the focus was during development.

On the other hand: a chugging framerate, load times just bad enough to be aggravating, and horrendously flawed game mechanics. You can tell where the focus was during development.

    What is ostensibly a beat 'em up game takes a wholly unappealing divergence from the formula by making all fodder enemies effortless drawn-out busywork in the lead up to your inevitable duel with one or two of the main characters, which always demands the exact same strategy: play cat and mouse as best you can (because the only challenge in the game is **** AI with multiple health bars that can override any of your attacks with its own when it feels like it) until you can land enough slapfight hits to fill your special meter, at which point you transform, enter frenzy mode, and either chain infinite supers into the enemy until you finally deplete the full dozen of their health bars, or whiff your attacks because of the horrendous and inattentive camera and die horribly instead.

    But wait, I hear you say! What of the story? Are there any compelling developments along the lines that would merit the drudgery of the gameplay?

    Well, that depends on whether you've ever seen DBZ. The plot is exactly that, with boobs instead of screaming. (Characters with drastically different values initially at each other's throats end up being friendly rivals in pursuit of a common goal, and thwart some evil in the process.)

    It *could* have had a more engaging combat system. It *could* have had a better developed story. It doesn't. It's an underdeveloped mess of a game and there are much cheaper and probably more engaging sources of titillation out there.    … Expand

    Overall, Senran Kagura 2 is simply not a very good game. There are plenty of decent ideas, but none of them are anywhere near being developed enough to be worth your time.

    This game is about breasts. That's it. There really isn't anything deeper to it, not at all. [Issue#167, p.97]

    A mediocre, ugly, boring beat ‘em up that has just one selling point – scantily clad girls. [11/2015, p.65]
