The soulless flesh husks of Senran Kagura: Shinovi Versus return for Senran Kagura: Bon Appétit!. Polygon by jiggly polygon, they are exactly the same, so if you’re looking for new animations of clothes being destroyed to reveal some PG-13 tits and ass, you won’t find it here. Of course, if you didn’t play Shinovi Versus (and I’d hardly blame you), it’ll be new to you. All you need to know is that every non-male character has dead man’s curves all over the place. They are self-aware shelves of mammary and posterior flesh that have eyes and poorly-developed brains somewhere therein. If you’re the one playing the game, you’ll only be able to watch the girls cook out of your peripheral vision, as you’ll be fighting to match the button prompts at the bottom of the screen. Of course, once the rhythmic tapping and holding is over, someone’s clothes must be shredded. Because science, I guess. If you’re the type who’s into playing dress up with real dolls (the target audience), you’ll appreciate the customization and assorted vanity options.
Rhythm games are often judged by their soundtracks. And on this front, Senran Kagura: Bon Appétit! is garbage. The entire soundtrack to this game is made up of unmemorable stereotypical ninja stuff. My opinion of Japanese voice tracks tends to vary, and it’s in the gutter with this game; call me a xenophobe, but I can’t reconcile a squeaky voiced female who sounds like they’re pushing ten years old with the term "sexy." I can’t, and I won’t even bother trying.
