For $26.99 you get:
More than 30 hours of storymode gameplay.
Somewhat broken and pointless, yet nevertheless entertaining multiplayer.
Character customizations with your choice of hairstyle, costumes and underwear.
And most importantly, 20 pairs of boobs of different sizes and variations.

As a business college student, I can proudly say the twenty-seven dollars I've spent for this game was a good long-term investment.

I'm a simple man.

it's got boobles but is also a reasonably fun beat em up type game, kinda like Dynasty Warriors but with cute ninja girls instead of a bunch of old chinese dudes.

I like Yozakura.

Dear Devs: Please consider the idea of moving the Senran Kagura franchise to the PC market. We don't want to see your games censored because of the PS4 new politics. Be assured that your fans are ready to support you guys!

I am a 45 yo father, probably one of the oldest people playing this game. I am a single father to my Son, who is 14 now. My son got this game from his uncle, so we installed it on his computer and he started playing. By the end of the week he had 24 hours on this game. This was horrible for me, as it was already hard for me to find ways to spend time with my son, as he is always out with his friends or just watching YouTube. So I decided to make a Steam account and get this game to see if I could maybe play alongside him. I loaded into the game, picked my character and world and started playing but I was stuck on what you where supposed to do. I asked my Son for help and he hosted a game for me to join. I loved it as it was the best time I had spent with my Son since my wife had died. This game has ever since brought me and my son closer again and now we actually spend time together outside the house together as well. This game reminded me that there's fun to be had in everything, and it has brought both me and my Son many happy memories.

The General Stuff

Played it on: Dell 14 7447, i5 4210h, GTX 850M, 12 GB RAM
Settings: Full Screen 1920x1080 (Pretty lackluster in the settings department)
Performance: Solid 60 FPS
Controller support: Yes (You should play it with a controller)

Why you should play it:
1. You like Female ninjas
2. You don't mind crazy amounts of fanservice
3. You like collecting "things"
4. You like easy to grasp combat systems
5. You like simple RPG mechanics
6. You like anime/manga
7. You are the type of person who likes 1080p and solid 60 FPS performance
8. You are a fan of the series
9. You worship Oppai
10. You hope for certain "mods" to remove "impediments" to your viewing experience
11. It has all the DLC packed in it

Why you should not play it:
1. You think its misogynistic, sexist, and objectifies women
2. You don't like brawlers
3. You don't like grinding
4. You are a fan of certain social justice websites
5. You don't like anime/manga
6. You don't like cell shaded graphics

9. You prefer games with a story
10. You prefer to keep your holy persona
11. You don't like to be called a pervert, or a creep or let parents hide their children from you

Admittedly, I\'m not very far, but I can quickly praise the porting job.

-Smooth 60 FPS
-1080p
-All of the DLC (valued at $60 when they were incrementally coming out) included FREE

For a series touching the PC for the first time, that\'s very generous for a port from a handheld. If Frantic, fast action, high-combo count games interest you, give this a look. It\'s PC friendly, of course plays smoothly on a gamepad, and has an interesting, varied cast. With a mix of drama and humor, there\'s usually something most people can like, once they get over the stigma of the bounciness.

"Titss are life, asss is hometown"

- Kenichiro Takaki, Producer

Those highly inspiring words reflects the mere devotion Kenichiro Takaki gave to the two most important things in existence, who titles himself in the credits as "Righteous boobage Producer".

Considering the fact that out of 22 playable girls only one has human possible proportions (a loli) and that even the 2D pictures have "physics" he astonishingly managed to compress his meaning of life into a single, well endowed game.

Double the cast, double the boobs!

- This still is 75% fanservice, 25% game, so get your expectations straight.
- Since this is a series of games, I am going to reference prior titles in comparison.

Yes, big busted lewd ninjas come with a story somewhat continuing throughout the main games of the series. If you care about understanding the later ones, you should know the prior ones.
All side games though are spinoffs not really needing any knowledge, but they basically play after the main series.

• Senran Kagura Shinovi Versus ←
  
• Senran Kagura Estival Versus

Maybe you remember me saying the rework of "Burst" raised it to "second generation" quality levels. Well then, say hello to the first generation! Despite being the second game in the series it now is technically the oldest one - which you obviously can see ingame.
The models are still relatively good and have some nice animations, but from the visuals to the controls everything feels thoroughly older. More bulky, rougher, simpler.

Though despite all that, under the hood it still is mostly the same old Senran Kagura.
The Beat-em-up combat contains the known light and heavy, grounded and aerial attacks you can chain together into combos, with more of those becoming available with leveling the character as well as Ying, Yang and - newly added - "Flash" traits. The latter are leveled by fighting in the known frantic, transformed and not transformed states respectively.
Compared directly to "Burst", the amount of skills has been reduced to two (light and heavy), with the story unlockable ultimate attack replacing the heavy skill on the four main heroines. Also the frantic mode is available anytime pre-transformed, not only at the beginning of a level. Finally, there are no items to boost character leveling.
The same blocking and guard breaking mechanics are in place, with the timing for a perfect parry being way stricter (without Ying/Yang/Flash levels) than before, and you can still find pickup items in the missions (like health or ninja art points).

The story is simply told in a 3D Visual Novel style, with 2D segments and CGs inbetween and the Shopkeeper is now a 2D character sprite.

And the probably biggest addition to the series: Multiplayer (that you can play alone against the AI with customizable difficulties). You can play with/agains up to 3 other players in a variety of gamemodes as absurd as the entire game's theme. Like collecting panties raining from the sky, that can severely lower FPS.

As mentioned on "Burst" before, Shinovi Versus introduces new characters (which are available as DLC chars in Burst with introduction-like story). In fact the total cast is almost doubled with the introduction of two entirely new schools/groups with the usual 5 characters, totalling to 22 unique, playable characters.

Their stories are told through 4 arcs with 5 chapters with 5 missions each, each one focussing on one of the groups. Though compared to Burst's intertwined story, the one here is independent to the point where two arcs can even contradict one another, and the last one considerably being the true one.
With 2 freely choosable difficulties per mission and a side story chapter per heroine there is enough playable content to justify the usual ~30h of gameplay. A guided tutorial alongside a very, very minimalistic "Free training" (just you and endless, slow spawning weakest enemy dummies under normal mission gameplay rules) allow you to train the controls, which are different from Burst by default.

Different from it's predecessor, Shinovi Versus has no hidden stuff to collect in missions and the characters usable in missions are limited to the cast of the repective group.

In the ingame shop you can again buy all the already seen story CGs, heard OSTs and available outfits and voiceline sets, which you then can see in the way emptier gallery.

After all the stories are played you unlock the "Final battle" - a 1v1 showdown between the two most important main heroines, that in the beginning can actually be challenging.

The stuff interesting you the most, isn't it?
Well, sad news for you - the first generation did not include your favorite tool - the virtual hands - or any form of "Intimacy Mode" to speak of.

Though not all hope is lost, as Shinovi Versus introduces a new mechanic to the series: The Panty Lottery. What better way is there to obtain all that underwear to freely dress your favorite waifus with, than betting your hard earned money on the gods of randomness?

Other than that, playing dress-up with those shinobis is still mostly as detailed as before, even without any "Diorama" mode to pose them for screenshots with.

Atleast you can fight with them and then still rip their fresh clothes right off, with the known and loved clothing break mechanics, up to fully undressing them by finishing off with a skill. The two different skills even differenciate between stripping the top or bottom half of the outfit (the finisher is still full body).
And in fact, the actually annoying see-through-everything huge dots of holy censorship lights have been replaced by not as annoying see-through-everything Chibi images of the respective character!

Hold your breath for now it gets serious.
There is none!
Just like with most old PC ports of console games they just included all the additional content released back then in the one and only purchasable PC version of the game!

Is this game worth it?
If after the first part you became a fan of the series, want the whole story, are a completionist collector, can't get enough of those well endowed shinobis or just want to start your collection off on the technically worst part so it can only get better - yes, this is worth it.
If you are too pampered with the better looking modern titles or generally picky, maybe give this one a pass.
Anyway, the next sale will come and this game be waiting for you to grab a copy nontheless!

That one game where you'll set your account to offline while you play it.
