    Silly-and-serious visual novel sequences, fun characters with markedly different fighting styles, and tons of customization round out the package, and with two full stories to play through, there's enough game here to outlast a wardrobe full of outfits. More than just the world's most effective PSA for battle armor, Senran Kagura Burst is a lovely, lighthearted brawler that's well worth a round.

    Never mind the uncomfortably dubious gender politics, the biggest offence here is the inability to capitalise on rock-solid action foundations.

    Senran Kagura Burst is silly. Its presentation is silly, its combat is silly, and its whole reason for being is silly. Yet somehow, it’s compelling. Alongside the gratuitous boob and panty shots there’s a nice pair of intertwining stories here with amicably fleshed-out characters. Next to the ability to choose the colour of your girl’s skirt is a combat system that ditches difficulty in favour of ludicrous high-score combo strings.

    Bouncy, flouncy, and quite a bit of fun, this over-the-top brawler delivers equal measures of fan service and classic brawling gameplay with wanton glee

    Senran Kagura Burst is at times, fun, frantic, and enjoyable. But its repetitiveness takes a toll, and the amount of fan service not only made me feel uncomfortable, it exposed the game's wasted potential.

    Si buscas buena acción cuerpo a cuerpo en la portátil de Nintendo hay muchas mejores, profundas y más vistosas opciones en el catálogo de 3DS, pero Senran Kagura Burst tiene un par de incentivos que otros no y ya le han servido de gancho para su éxito en Japón. Ellas llevan la delantera. No nos escandalicemos.
