Onechanbara: Bikini Samurai Squad: A Review
Onechanbara: Bikini Samurai Squad is a third-person action game developed by Tamsoft and published by D3 Publisher. It was released in Japan in 2005 and in North America and Europe in 2006 for the Xbox 360. The game is a spin-off of the Onechanbara series, and follows the story of two sisters, Aya and Saki, who must fight their way through hordes of zombies in order to save their father.
Gameplay
Onechanbara: Bikini Samurai Squad is a fast-paced, over-the-top action game. Players control one of three characters: Aya, Saki, or Kagura. Each character has her own unique set of moves and abilities. Aya is a sword-wielder who is fast and agile. Saki is a scythe-wielder who is strong and powerful. Kagura is a dual-blade wielder who is a mix of both Aya and Saki’s styles.
The game’s combat is simple but satisfying. Players can attack with light and heavy attacks, as well as use special moves and abilities. The game also features a “Rage Mode” which can be activated when the player’s health is low. In Rage Mode, the player’s attacks become more powerful and they can also use special Rage Mode abilities.
One of the unique features of Onechanbara: Bikini Samurai Squad is its co-op mode. Two players can team up to take on the zombie hordes together. Co-op mode is a lot of fun, and it’s a great way to experience the game with a friend.
