SAMURAI MAIDEN

i never have played something so trash

If I'm going to be honest, the games from SHADE Inc. are not the best, the game is on sale now and I'm still kind of disappointed and this seemed to be my thing. I've played 2 other titles from them and the gameplay was kinda bad, maybe more talking than is needed sometimes, but there were some big highlights. This game however, nothing yet, I'll play it a little more to see if that changes. Idk man, it feels like they dropped the ball somewhere. I got this game fairly cheap out of a bundle, I'd still hesitate to recommend it to hack and slash lovers. Maybe I'm just getting too old for games like these.

I first had interest in this game coz i loved games like Senran Kagura and Bullet Girls Phantasisa, i saw this and thought "oh hell yeah, another game where i get to play as girls and experience clothing damage and cool combos!" My first issue was only getting to play as one character, i like her design and all but it gets repetitive playing as JUST HER every mission. what doesnt help is the balance of combos and summoning allies, after a few swings of the sword you can already fill the bars to summon your allies, i dont find myself using any combos since i can just spam my allies every half second. The fanservice aspect is a bit minimal, it had potential for more clothing damage but didnt follow through. The story is ok so far. the final issue is the price tag, $90 in Australia for a hack and slash game with one character and mindless enemies is NOT worth it, even with a sale. Get senran kagura at a cheaper price, more characters, more enemies, more to do, more fanservice and great music. Oh also the photo mode is censored :( Quick edit: I should mention i liked the character designs, the visual effects on the characters in battle (dirt, sweat and torn clothing), the relationshi…

Good game. The gameplay is stiff and the healing mechanics suck but the story is good and characters are great. The interactions between the characters are the highlight of the game and you'll spend half the reading like its a visual novel. Love the yuri moments throughout the game which is one of the main reasons I got the game in the first place. Overall good game. You get used to the stiff combat and it becomes alright overtime. Gonna now 100% the game and read the rest of the side stories with the romances.

I quite like this game. I think this game is quite important if only because there's a massive lack of non-visual novel yuri games. Though if you enjoy visual novels, this game has that covered pretty well too. The characters are charming and I think the game's art direction is appealing. I think the gameplay itself is where it starts to fall apart for most people, the basic combat can start off feeling pretty repetitive. While you do unlock more moves throughout the game, you'll probably be sticking to a small handful that suits your playstyle and you'll likely never get punished for it. There's not really that much variety in enemy either. I think the demonic difficulty is when the game actually starts to put up a challenge. By then you'd have to juggle more between attacking and dodging enemies' attack while managing the three girls' gauges to maximize your damage. I appreciate having heals be limited and delayed by having to wait for Iyo place it down, this really does add a level of risk and reward into the combat. I am however, quite mixed about having demonic difficulty locked until you've finished hard mode, which itself is locked until you have the main game cleared. O…

first things first i'd like to start by saying that the gameplay for this game is pretty meh and overall shallow.. it boils down to spamming the light attack button a bunch and then pressing the heavy attack one to three times after. dodging when needed, etc. the game it heavy on dialogue with lots of story cutscenes both before levels, sometimes in the middle of levels, and at the end of levels. they have a mix of fan service and actual story beats, and a lot of pacing around in conversations where a lot is being said while nothing of note is being said. the music is fine, the graphics are okay but considering how the game actually performs makes the graphics seem like a joke to be honest. and the graphic settings are non existent. the game is also censored but this is pc gaming so if it truly bothers you you can mod it out. now, with all that being said.. why do I recommend it? in the end the story isn't terrible. and by the end of things you'll have done some of the character side quests to learn more about them and become attached. the end is bittersweet and in a way subverted my expectations. its the kind of story where the saying "it's about the journey not the destination" r…
