As a summary, Kagura and Saaya will be teaming up to their rivals Aya and Saki to fight a new threat to the world. As like previous onechanbara series games. Its plot and story are bad. In fact you cant really say there is a story but a battle between good and evil. It is short and uninteresting. Though the characters in the game are somewhat interesting considering they have different personalities and their few interactions in game are both funny, sexy and sometimes ridiculous. Still though, it does not over all the flaws and problems it has concerning the lack of story. A poor score of 1/10
Gameplay - This is the part where the game really steps up. The action is awesome smooth and really a good game for those players who like fast paced actions games. The thing i really liked in here is the cross combination where you can use more that 2 or all of the characters at the same time and make utter chaos against your many enemies. Combos are great, many and different from each of the characters since each has two kinds of main weapons and also a sub weapon, add that they have stronger forms called Dare Drive and Extacy. However, dissapointing factors are also included, The whole campaign is so short and lacks replayability and is also very easy as a whole even if you are playing in the hardest difficulties since enemies doesnt really pose a threath even those bosses or those large in size. The mission mode is a plus for you to have things to do even after beating the campaign but alas, it is also very easy that i never really experienced a challenging mission except for 1 or 2. Overall, a score of 6/10 will do.
Graphics - There two aspects on this part, both good and bad. As for the good, the character design of each and every characters are pretty, sexy and gorgeous, people keeps criticizing the use of sex appeal of this game of which as a guy, is a plus for me. I really am impressed also that you can customize the main characters, and didnt regret making them look much more sexier than their original costumes. As for the bad though, is the level and environment design. It is so last last gen and i mean on the PS2 era of graphics level. Too much lazy effort by the developers to actually put recycled level and enemy design used in its previous games. SO DAMN DISAPPOINTING. Therefore, A poor score of 4/10 will do for these aspect.
Music and Sound - As to the music, It really is mixed and confusing, it is a mixture of pop, rock and techno pop. It was ok for me. But overall was dissapointed since a recycled songs from the last game is in the soundtrack and actually used in game to make you thinks it has a lot. As to the sound and voice acting, the japanese voice acting despite Kagura's awkward broken english are actually good and i really prefer it over the english version. It has more emotion and gives the characters personality base on the tone and the way they all speak. A score of 5/10
Overall Score = 4.00
These game is generally compared to Bayonetta and is also considered its budget version. Personally, I agree...for me it has beaten Bayonetta in its fast paced action mechanic but was far inferior as to the other aspects of the game. With regards to the use of sex appeal to promote the game, IMO in a world where games which has gore, the use of drugs, slavery, racism, etc. I would prefer this kinds of games rather than those i previously mentioned. But overall, the game really didnt give me that worth for my money since despite that it satisfies my manhood and action perks. I was dissapointed in everything. Hopefully the developers could do better in their next game if it would even come out to the west. Like Kagura said, "Okay, Bring it on"… Expand
