Senran Kagura: Peach Beach Splash Reviews
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
Peach Beach Splash may be good for a rental, but it's hard to justify a full price tag considering how shallow the game is in terms of content and how quickly you can breeze through it.
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.
For those looking for some (not so) clean fun in the sun, Senran Kagura: Peach Beach Splash gives the series a reason to return the beach and wish this summer vacation would never end. It's an enjoyable shooter, as long as you don't expect it to be a serious one.
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.

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.
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.

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 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.
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.
When the single player portion of this piece was posted, someone asked if it's worth playing if they weren't planning on going online.
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.
The mechanics are interesting and there is always a sense that you are achieving something through gameplay. It truly is the game we need but don't deserve.
As much as I find Senran Kagura to be my favorite guilty pleasure series, this one I found myself actively disliking it from the get-go. The gameplay design is certainly fun when you get the hang of it, but everything around it is just badly designed and just makes it not fun to play. As someone that’s for developers wanting to branch out and do other things, this is one of the few times where sticking to the status qua might have been a good idea.
Qualms aside, if you can look passed the risqué nature of Senran Kagura Peach Beach Splash you'll find an enjoyable shooter that can be a lot of fun in multiplayer. Sure, it might not be able to compete with the likes of Titanfall 2 in terms of gunplay, but I've never seen any bikini tops come undone in Titanfall either. Peach Beach Splash certainly has something unique to offer, and while all of its ideas might not be ace, you have to respect the developers for committing to an idea and simply going for it.
Senran Kagura: Peach Beach Splash is a surprisingly fun team-based shooter that, sometimes exceedingly, embraces fanservice in a way that few games do in this oversensitive industry.
