Instead, play centers around giving Asuka and other DLC girls a message that’s so masterful, it allows self-reflextion to erupt. It’s far removed from the musou-style mechanics of the main series or even the girls’ exploration of the culinary arts. Regrettably, that’s not the case with the recent PC port of Senran Kagura Reflexions, originally released on the Switch nine month ago. But at least each divergence seemed built around an ambition for involving gameplay. From a Japan-only card battling title, Bon Appétit’s rhythm-based mini-games, Peach Beach Splash’s third-person, water-gunning, to an upcoming pinball game, the perpetually panty-revealing shinobi seem to be as risk for figurative and literal overexposure. Beyond five different manga series, two anime, and five mainline games, the property has prompted a number of interactive spin-offs.
Since its 2011 debut, the Senran Kagura franchise has been remarkably prolific.
