OneChanbara: Bikini Samurai Squad Critic Reviews

So yeah, it's stupid. It's brutally stupid, to be honest. But "Underpants Deadguy Cutters: Ultimate Tittykill" has enough game to keep you going for a few days, and it sells for twenty bucks less than usual. Honestly, I don't know why big breasted women wading through gallons of blood took so long to get to America.

A reasonably amusing splatterfest. Just bash the buttons and that's pretty much it, though.

Quite fittingly, Onechanbara: Bikini Samurai Squad is gaming's equivalent of a cheesy B-movie. Sure, the production values stink, but for anyone with a fetish for zombies and/or samurai bikini cowgirls covered in blood, it's worth a few bucks. Rest assured, though, we won't judge as we had a bit of guilty fun ourselves.

This isn't great art, but it's clear that the developers love the subject of their game and OneChanbara is worth playing for that reason.

It's hard to know which is more laughable: Onechanbara's story of sisters who absorb zombie blood through their skin or the fact that this game is so shallow.

Onechanbara: Bikini Zombie Slayers is not a classic. Even at the game’s low price of $39.99, I would be inclined to say that it’s overpriced with it's craptastic storyline, an outdated presentation, and redundant gameplay.

Let’s face it, this isn’t the deepest experience out there, and in the end, your love of women in bikinis getting covered in the blood of the undead is really going to be the deciding factor as to whether or not you’re going to check this out. The premise works as great B-movie fodder, and based on the gameplay found here, probably should have been left as such.

It’s obvious, Onechanbara: Bikini Samurai Squad isn’t for everyone. The low production values, old school button mashing gameplay and exploitive use of half naked woman might turn the majority of gamers off Onechanbara zombie mashing, however these same facts might help the game attract a certain audience.

We have no doubt this went gangbusters in Japan, but for those with slightly more discerning tastes, blood and bikinis are simply not enough, regardless of how impressive the jiggle physics are.

A repetitive load of rot.

It is a mediocre title at best and one which revels in that fact. A sticky, filthy little pleasure that I have had quite a bit of enjoyment playing.

Horrendous camera and targeting system.

There’s nothing wrong with barely clothed gals trashing through hordes and hordes of zombies. But when one button appears to be the only one you’ll be using for killing enemies, the concept suddenly becomes a lot less appealing. Those that are looking for a good zombie slasher should stick to Dead Rising or wait for it’s sequel. Hey, that game has some hot babes too you know.

If you haven’t had your fill of the Dynasty Warriors franchise, I’d recommend picking up Onechanbara for the absurd storyline and characters alone.

It doesn't have very many good qualities, the gameplay isn't very impressive, it isn't up to snuff on a technical level, and whatever charm it manages to muster runs out of steam in a hurry.

A juvenile wishlist of swords, guns, girls and gore - really not much cop a game.

Onechanbara on the 360 looks terrible. I forgave a lot of the graphical problems the Wii version had since it was a game on the Wii. No next-gen game should ever look this terrible, even if it does only cost $40.

As strange as they come, with the shallow twist of centering on a group of women who bare all. You already know if this is for you or not.

A linear, uninventive and utterly boring action game from start to finish, the splatter-fest that is Onechanbara makes us wonder how a game with bikinis this skimpy could be a very bad thing. I like a good hack-and-slash action game but this Bikini Samurai Squad makes mindless fun feel really quite unentertaining.

The concept of scantily clad babes cutting down zombies with swords may appeal to some, but its gameplay and delivery are flawed in so many ways that only the most hardcore hack-'n-slash fans will have any fun here.
