and the only level you could play was the first level repeatedly. Once was dull enough, but you have to do it five times! To give a Nintendo-themed example, imagine getting Super Mario Bros. Once you finish the massage you are brought back into the classroom, she asks if you can carry on and the exact same gameplay loop repeats itself, only with Asuka wearing different clothing and saying something a little different. In Senran Kagura Reflexions, they have stripped it right down (no pun intended) and what you are left with is a rather dull game with many half-naked women to gawk at. In previous games, underneath all of that was a fairly decent game that had some substance to it. In a way, I get what they are trying to do, but it can be very perverse. At times, it feels like it goes a little over the top. The shooter title I mentioned in the first paragraph? Well, that’s a water-based shooter game and you do not need me to tell you why. Its overly sexualised themes naturally narrow down the people that would buy the game. It is clear from the outset that this series is aimed at a particular audience. That isn’t a typo, by the way, you heard right, this is a massage game and as you could probably guess, it’s a rather dull one at that.
You can now add a massage game on to that list with the latest release, Senran Kagura Reflexions.
Hack-and-slash games, a card game, a shooter, a rhythm cooking game, it’s been a real mish-mash of stuff. Senran Kagura is a series that has experimented with a number of genres since its inception.
