As XSEED Games approaches the October 14th launch of Senran Kagura Shinovi Versus, they wanted to introduce some of the new girls who will be joining the SK universe as the shinobi world explodes into a battle royale. Last week it was the girls of Shijuku Gessen Jogakkan and this week they looks into the darkness of Hebijo Clandestine Girls' Academy starting with the bullish and beastly brandisher of black blazes, Miyabi.
In addition to the digital download version of the PS Vita Game, there will also be a limited run "Let's Get Physical" retail version that packs a soundtrack CD and a "Shinobi Syllabus" full of student profiles, gameplay strategies, and illustrations.
Shinovi Versus follows up on last year's Nintendo 3DS entry, Senran Kagura Burst, and revisits the rivalry between the girls of Hanzō National Academy and their sworn enemies from Hebijo Clandestine Girls' Academy, who have since formed a mercenary strike team known as the Homura Crimson Squad.
More on the release from XSEED:
In addition to their old adversaries, the Hanzō girls must also face a whole new set of foes: the students of Gessen Girls’ Academy, who seek to punish them for their imperfections as shinobi warriors. Meanwhile, a new class is in session at Hebijo, and these students mean business: they oppose all three of the competing factions and will stop at nothing to be the last shinobi squad standing – even if it means leaving broken bodies and shattered dreams in their wake.
Throughout SENRAN KAGURA SHINOVI VERSUS, players will take control of characters from each of these schools, experiencing the narrative from four distinct viewpoints via the original Japanese voice track coupled with English subtitles.
SENRAN KAGURA SHINOVI VERSUS carries on the high energy side-scrolling battles of previous games in the series, and fans can expect to find more of all of SENRAN KAGURA’s hallmark features – ridiculous mid-air combos, over-the-top humor, garments that explode when characters take damage and special Secret Ninja Art techniques. The game features 20 unique shinobi fighters for players to master, each with her own unique weapon, techniques and special moves, while Ninja Arts can be exploited to change costumes and power up mid-battle. On top of the single player game, up to four players can battle online to determine which shinobi is the best of them all.
