In execution, this part of the game permits players to select different scenarios which become the bulk of Reflexions’ interaction. But unlike the feeling of immersion cultivated by the best VR games, even a semblance of physical touch never materializes, even with the incorporation of HD rumble feedback. A button press initiates a caress, and when performed on different parts of Asuka’s palms or her finger, relaxes her enough to send her into a dreamlife state. Using the analog sticks on either a berthed or free duo of Joy-Cons, you can move two cursors around. Reflexions’ unsophisticated simulation of reflexology begins with Asuka extending her hands, as your disembodied pair of blue appendages gently supports them. The leering shots of underboob and panties meaning that you won’t want to play this is public, but if your significant other finds the game on your Switch, a laidback shrug should probably end the admonishment. Follow the on-screen prompts, and Asuka will emit a succession of suggestive moans, but in keeping with Japanese standards, no actual nudity is ever shown. But once you get down to the action, the puns stop, forcing you to focus on the tasks ahem, at hand.įor those new to the ecchi games, know that content is quite suggestive, but never ventures into the pornographic. Yes, the game will thank you for ‘coming’ more than a seventies-era James Bond babe. But in execution, dialog is too terse to produce much exposition and challenge from the scant number of mini-games is nearly non-existent.Īs if the heterographic ‘X’ in the title wasn’t enough to signify lasciviousness, an excess of double entendres ensure you’ll know that the game is about helping Asuka have an orgasm. Instead, play centers around giving reoccurring series star Asuka a message so masterful, it allows self-reflextion to erupt.

It’s far removed from the musou-style mechanics of the main series or even the girls’ incursion into the culinary arts.

Regrettably, that’s not the case with the recent release of Senran Kagura Reflexions for the Nintendo Switch. But at least each divergence seemed built around an ambition for involving gameplay. From a Japan-only card battling title, Bon Appétit’s rhythm-based mini-games, Peach Beach Splash’s third-person, water-gunning, to an upcoming pinball game, the perpetually panty-revealing shinobi seem to be as risk for figurate and literal overexposure. Beyond five different manga series, two anime, and five mainline games, the property has prompted a number of interactive spin-offs. Since its 2011 debut, the Senran Kagura franchise has been remarkably prolific.
