The controls were very easy to learn, but I found myself doing a lot of ‘button mashing’ during the gameplay. The gameplay was almost entirely based around combat, which is characteristic of the Senran Kagura games. Most of the time gameplay was in the same locations, but I can tell that the makers, Marvelous Games, took a lot of time in perfecting the few locations that were included in the game. The colors burst off the screen and were truly pleasing to the eye. Although the layout was basic, there seemed to be no flaws and in how the game ran and looked. Since the Senran Kagura franchise has switched over to a 3D platform, the game looked as clean as ever. When it comes to the games aesthetics, I was genuinely shocked how good the game looked. When one of the protagonists gets their secret ninja scroll taken by another group of evil ninjas, she begins going on a journey to retrieve it, which is the basis of the storyline.
Senran Kagura: Burst Re:Newal allows you to play with multiple different shinobi ninja’s, giving the story broad perspective. Even if it means sparring with a fellow shinobi ninja, they are constantly trying to better themselves. All of them are desperate for ultimate power, and they do whatever it takes to achieve that power. In the meantime, there are other ‘evil’ ninja girls in the Senran Kagura universe, and they are constantly at battle. Senran Kagura: Burst Re:Newal follows the lives of ‘shinobi’ ninja girls, who are currently attending a Japanese university and training to be a powerful ninja. The Senran Kagura franchise has been around quite some time, starting as a 2D game, and now Senran Kagura: Burst Re:Newal has moved into a crisp HD 3D video game.
