By forcing players to play through the main campaign using every character at once, the overall narrative for Estival Versus ends up more cohesive. It’s different, but all-in-all, I appreciate it. KMF is a singular campaign, so you can expect to be switching between all 30+ characters pretty much every level. Past Senran Kagura games had you play through stories based on factions – the Hanzō story would feature Asuka and co., and so on – but Estival Versus doesn’t do that. As with previous Senran Kagura main campaigns, KMF is split into into chapters (with each chapter consisting of a day, in this case), but the character setup is a little different. Kagura Millennium Festival, the main campaign, focuses on the Shinobi Bon Dance Festival itself. Estival Versus is once again split into two main narratives Kagua Millennium Festival and Shinobi Girl’s Heart. Senran Kagura‘s supple Shinobi may be in a different dimension, but don’t worry – things aren’t too different.
That’s what you get for being so reckless. Why was this happening? Why, to participate in the Shinobi Bon Dance Festival, a once-per-millennia celebration where Shinobi compete against one another to see who’s the best, of course. Soon after, the rest of the Senran Kagura girls are transported, faction by faction, to the same dimension (although much more comically so). Although quietly spectating at first, they recognize one of the spirits as their sister – rushing headfirst into the ceremony and demanding answers, but instead finding themselves teleported into another dimension. With the chanting growing louder, and their curiosity getting the better of them, Ryōbi and Ryōna investigate, eventually stumbling upon a strange spirit-summoning ritual.
Their quiet prayers are soon interrupted though, when they hear chanting coming from somewhere within the forest.
And, today, we’ll be taking a look at Takaki’s latest and greatest “something” – Senran Kagura Estival Versus.Įstival Versus begins with Hebijo Academy twins Ryōbi and Ryōna visiting a lone grave in the middle of the woods in order to peacefully pay their respects to their departed older sister. More characters, more levels, more life, more hometown whatever it is, there’s always something. He not only created Senran Kagura, one of the weirdest and most outrageous games that I’ve ever heard of, but managed to make an entire series out of it. He’s never rested on his laurels, either. I have to give credit to Kenichiro Takaki.
