Is this game better than Onechanbara Z2 ?

[Mirukahia]

Tbh, I didn't like Onechanbara Z2. I love hack n' slash games but no "smash buttons" without any challenge. Onechanbara failed on that with me, also I like a lot waifus (who doesn't), but Waifus there are dumb, not quite the characters you will remember after finishing the game... are the Waifus here cool with nice plot / backstories or just some random plot?

Also, is the game Keyboard + Mouse friendly? howbout the graphic options? (I just read about GeDoSaTo for improvement)

I'm looking forward for a Hack n Slash with waifus but very similar to DmC 5 - Darksiders II - Castlevania: LoS 2 type of combat for example, fast and where you gotta keep an order with each combos n' skill.

Any help/tip is appreciated.

No skill needed, at least if you play on normal difficulty. Pretty mindless, I never had to do anything but repeat the same combo over and over untill all enemies were dead. Bossfights are unchallenging as well: get up in their faces and use your special attack, repeat until dead. The end.

The same applies to every single playable character.

Regarding the story and characters... pretty uninspired. I found none of the characters to be particularly interesting.

Somehow I have played over 20 hours of this wtf...

Did you not switch to hard mode? You could've made the switch at any time within those 20 hours you played it.

I have both, this one has better port, so stick with this.

Anyway i dont say that oneechanbara is bad, it's pretty fun game, it's just full of bug

[KOS-MOS]

both are good but Senran is overall better ;p

I did, and it becomes a bit more punishing, but mostly more time consumming. The fundamental strategy doesn't change, at least not in the parts I turned hard mode on. I guess my original post makes it seem like I hated it, but... I didn't. And it puzzles me because it is a very mediocre game. Even the fanservice is mediocre.

Maybe the very mindlessnes of it made me spend so much time with it? Who knows?

On the normal difficulty at least Frantic mode is an instant win button which makes me wonder what's the point of the other two modes even being in the game...

Not sure why people say Senran Kagura is easy. It's fairly punishing until you overlevel all the fights.

I'd play this over Devil May Cry or Metal Gear Rising any day of the week.

Senran Kagura is better.
I've got a refund for Onechanbara Z2 because this is a bad port.

That's why I made this Post and i've been reading you all.

i like this game better. Story is meh, but i do like the characters, all of them are very memorable and unique. Onechanbara I didnt really like the characters much, couldnt click with them.

I like the combat in this game much more. it is simple and the animations are way cool. Onechanbara, i feel like theres too much going on with combat mechanics. If the game starts utilizing the joystick buttons then thats too much. combat is not bad, i just enjoy simpler mechanics.

but one thing i like in onechanbara over this game is the amount of fighting. the stages have way more enemies to fight and last longer. Whereas this game the stages are very short and not enough enemies to fight.

Just going by the reviews the verdict seems to be in. Onechanbara has 69% recommended rate out of ~150 reviews while Shinovi Versus is 96% at just under 600 reviews. This means Shinovi is not only more popular, but also more well regarded.

It should also be noted that many of Onechanbara reviews note performance issues and bugs as then main cause for "Not Recommended," while Shinovi's negative reviews seems to stem from the "Crash every 15 minutes" bug that some gamers experience which has been solved else where on these forums.

Which tells us absolutely nothing regarding the actual quality of the game, as you have mentioned most of the negative reviews are from technical issues rather than game quality. Senran Kagura has a fervant fanbase as well as being more popular than the Onechanbara series. Obviously in terms of #s Senran Kagura would be higher. This thread, with actual experiences and comparisons from owners of both games, is more useful than the total number of reviews. I would take it a step further and look for reviews from an unbiased reviewer who isn't a fan of either game, but the fanservice and setting are the niche draw for this game. Both the Senran Series and Onechanbara series are probably in the "Okay" range of games when compared to AAA titles in the same genre.

Thank you, exactly the same way I think. Otherwise I would just jump-in into reviews / score here or metacritic.

Tbh, so far; even with the 10% disscount (plus the type of currency Steam manages here -COP- ) the game is a little bit high for what i've read so far. I could be wrong but I just don't wanna mess it up as I did with Onechanbara Z2.

Look I'm trying to be as helpful as possible. I'm not saying SK is for sure better, I'm just relaying the information I gathered as clearly and simply as I can. If this review system "tells us absolutely nothing regarding the actual quality of the game" why have it in the first place?

I like Onechanbara Z2 better, sexier and realistic.
I bought Senran Kagura Shinovi Versus PSVITA Limited edition and Senran Kagura Estival Versus PS4 Limited Edition.

I found Onechanbara Z2 to be better gameplay wise, but that's about it. Senran Kagura SV has a lot more content, is more polished, a better port, and a lot more overall to do. It's the best value for your dollar.

Onechanbara Z2 has the plus of being a PS4 port, so it tends to control a bit better than Senran Kagura SV which shows it's vita origins in movement and number of loading screens.
