Here’s a trailer and some footage from the EU version:
For those who aren’t familiar with the series, Senran Kagura is a series of “fast-paced beat ‘em up games with insane combo chains, plenty of playable characters, hilarious cutscenes and an abundance of tantalising action”.
This second game (the third one in the series, actually) picks up where Senran Kagura: Burst left off, with the ninjas from Hanzo & Hebijo Shinobi Academies fighting each other. But this time around, a great evil is at work, as the man behind Hebijou Academy is tyring to terrorise Japan with an army of demons. The girls will then have to unite in order to fight this common enemy.
The game includes several new features:
– Pair Battles: two ninjas from each Academy can fight together, and unleash powerful combos and devastating joint attacks;
– Improved graphics (now with full-3D arenas in some missions), improved animations, improved framerate, and the Japanese voice tracks;
– Local and online co-op: two players can play together via local and online multiplayer. This is for both story and special missions;
– Dressing room: even more customisation options than ever, with several hundreds items. You can also make the characters strike certain poses and take pictures (including via AR!).
Marvelous also confirms that the 3 DLC packs will be released in the West shortly after the full game has launched.
