What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
The story has more mood whiplash than... well, I suppose "emotional roller coaster" is the term here, but it's more like "emotional crazy bus driver going the wrong way on the interstate".
While on the surface it looks like Anime Tits The Game, great storywriting and characters as well as great hack and slash gameplay makes Senran Kagura more than just fanservice.
Controls wise with a controller it works fine.
The art design and the soundtrack are fantastic, and the characters are... well, let's just say after a few other series like this, I didn't have much faith in games like these to have the characters be much more than aimless fetish fuel based on tired archetypes.
There is also multiplayer which I unfortunately didn't get to experience thanks to no internet at the time and it's currently pretty much dead unless you can get a friend to play with you or want to fight against bots.
Also, they added some extra options in Config menu, not available in the original Vita game.
