Senran Kagura: Peach Beach Splash Reviews
The abundance of bouncing, wet boobies that Senran Kagura: Peach Beach Splash is full of is, strangely enough, not capable of making this something more than what it is: a subpar, repetitive, extremely grindy third-person shooter that's actually boring (yes, boring) to look at.
Senran Kagura: Peach Beach Splash works as a third-person shooter, and the card system adds some variety. It has a variety of single-player modes that could be fun if the enemy AI were any good. However, the lack of an online audience kills much of the potential, and the title can only be recommended to die-hard series fans or those who have friends who have purchased the game and can meet up for online matches.
Senran Kagura Peach Beach Splash is a TPS with an extremely perverted thematic and with a great gameplay that really shines when played with other people. It is a recommended title for fans of the series or those that are searching for an action packed TPS game.

Senran Kagura Peach Beach Slpash is nice and fun, with a sexual overtone that provides identity to the game but also gets in the way of the gameplay mechanics. It is clear that the game is aiming for a very specific audience but it could have achieved much more with a bit of moderation.

Senran Kagura: Peach Beach Splash is an entertaining spinoff which tries something totally new. Its accessible gameplay and the overwhelming customization options can have you glued to the screen for hours. With that said, even after going through just a couple of matches the novelty quickly wears thin, meaning the game might not have as much replay value as it initially seemed. If you are a fan of the series or are just looking for some quick and dirty fun on the beach, Peach Beach Splash should be enough to satisfy your appetite.
So if you can get past the practically naked girls, the story is very amusing and over the top. And if you're a fan of the franchise then you're definitely going to love what this one has to offer! The change of pace from the regular gameplay mechanics of the main SENRAN KAGURA is interesting, and the fast-paced arena arcade action will suck you in. Are you ready for a fight?
Senran Kagura: Peach Beach Splash was a blast. Quick paced arena combat supported by a well designed card based system and multiple storylines to follow, this has to have been my favorite entry yet and with the quality online competition modes online modes there's more than enough replayability to keep going for quite some time.
Senran Kagura: Peach Beach Splash is arguably the best game in the series so far. With it's fast paced, movement focused gameplay and the wealth of content available to a player you will find something to keep you entertained. It isn't a perfect game and of course it is not going to be for everyone but for those who are looking for a fun and addictive shooter look no further then Senran Kagura: Peach Beach Splash.
Senran Kagura: Peach Beach Splash is obviously aimed at those who prefer the fan service moments that are prominently featured in the series, but presentation wise, it is pretty solid on its own although the gameplay suffers from terrible AI that spoils the overall experience.
Players going in to enjoy Senran Kagura: Peach Beach Splash for the fan service will find plenty awaiting them. However, the game itself is not worth the investment for that fan service alone. The core gameplay is fun for a quick blast, and the splash moments are just what fans will want, but the battles are far too easy and get horrendously repetitive very quickly. Peach Beach Splash would have been better served from some extra gameplay modes, or maps, or more weapon styles, or anything to give it a little more life. It's also a terribly greedy game. The amount of time investment required to actually level up the cards and characters collected is far too high - although, of course, there's always the option to buy the cards for real money...
Senran Kagura: Peach Beach Splash knows exactly what it is. It's not the deepest game around, but those that can appreciate its absurdity will find a solid enough third person shooter that certainly stands out.
Peach Beach Splash comes with fast paced gameplay and is loaded with enough content to keep you busy for hours, both in story and multiplayer modes. Above all, the gameplay is very engaging compared to other titles of this series.
Tamsoft has managed to create a very fun, sexy and lewd third-person-shooter "Senran Kagura Peach Beach Splash". However, the game does suffer from a handful of cons.
The PC Version of the game runs surprisingly well in 4K and with max. settings and if you can live with a sometimes overdone level of fanservice and half naked anime girls you'll get a pretty good multiplayer shooter with a decent Singleplayer Part.

The implementation of water guns on the surface in Senran Kagura: Peach Beach Splash may make you think that this is a Splatoon style ripoff, but the combat is far from that. Instead of territory based missions, the gameplay actually feels like traditional Senran Kagura mixed with water guns, which fits right with the other the top nature of the series we’ve come to expect in Senran Kagura: Peach Beach Splash.
Senran Kagura Peach Beach Splash takes the Senran Kagura characters and puts them in skimpy bikinis for a water fight tournament. Despite the jokes and enough Jello boob jiggle to make you question the laws of gravity, the game offers plenty of depth with a huge roster of characters, strategic choices in weapons, and plenty of upgradable options to keep you playing. If you like anime or Senran Kagura and do not take the game too seriously, Senran Kagura Peach Beach Splash may be the perfect thing to heat up your summer gaming.
As a singleplayer experience, it is a lot of fun. The mechanics, customization, and amount of content are all great for this type of game. Bad AI and technical issues do hinder the experience though.
While the game's theme, framing and determination to tease me with "almost boobs" does very little for me personally, I can certainly appreciate the effort Marvelous, Kenichiro Takaki and Honey Parade have put into it. Visually, it's only second to Estival and it has a very catchy soundtrack that has a number of ear worms that you might find yourself humming along to. There's also quite a lot of content here across single and multiplayer. It's just a shame that once again, the titillation takes precedence over providing a truly enjoyable game experience by sabotaging the flow and pace with cut scenes.
Players that get over the fan service should find a lot to enjoy in Senran Kagura: Peach Beach Splash, no matter how weirded out onlookers might be.
I personally hope the series continues to pursue this genre, as the potential exists to create a truly excellent team-based shooter with a bit more work. Much like the rest of the series, if you’re not averse to blatant fanservice, Senran Kagura: Peach Beach Splash comes highly recommended.
