Senran Kagura: Peach Beach Splash's Gameplay Trailer Is Absolutely Unsafe for Work

As you'd expect

by Robert Ramsey Thu 8th Dec 2016

Every time a new Senran Kagura trailer is released, the Push Square office despairs - but not because we've got something against the franchise. Indeed, the main worry is that anytime we decide to cover Marvelous' shameless series, we all know that one of us - even if it's just a thought in the back of your mind - is going to be labelled a pervert. Time to get the Father Ted picture out, we suppose.

Anyway, you really shouldn't watch this latest video at work. The rather well named Senran Kagura: Peach Beach Splash takes the cast of past games and sticks them in a tropical paradise where they can afford to wear even skimpier costumes than usual. Our familiar female ninja then proceed to soak each other with every type of water gun imaginable. Fun in the sun and all that.

Peach Beach Splash is out in Japan in March next year, and it'll be coming West at some point after that. Are you looking forward to this one? Don't get too excited in the comments section below.

Robert (or Rob if you're lazy) has been a fan of PlayStation since the 90s, when Tekken 2 introduced him to the incredible world of video games. He still takes his fighting games seriously, but RPGs are his true passion. The Witcher, Dragon Quest, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy, he's played 'em all — a little too much, some might say.

the thing with the franchise is that beneath the pervent looks, lies a simple but very enjoyable gameplay. Sure they have a stupid story ( imo ) but this adds to the charm, a lot of times you just want to kill some time without thinking and those games are great for it.
This one looks fun too, but since it is not like the others I am not sure if I will buy it yet.

Never bought a game in the series and I imagine sales are always extremely low but good for Marvelous for keeping the series going and not caving to a certain group of people out there.

I've bought every other SK game, but... eh, I might skip this one. The games used to have good story and character development in addition to fun gameplay, but the last one kind of went downhill for me.

It's clear that the early focus on combining fanservice with a compelling narrative is gone.

I've never played a Senkan Kagura game before, but I'll be getting this for sure. It looks hilarious!

I feel compelled to ask - is there actually a game in there, w/, like, scoring and stuff? I've played my share of Spaltoon, and while the comparisons are obvious, there isn't anything like that gameplay wise in here. Is this like lazertag or paint ball, shoot people for points to win? From 38-39 seconds in the trailer they are physically melee fighting w/ each other, which confused me more.

I know that's probably too much to ask for what looks like a beer commercial but I am curious. The website says 5 on 5 teams, which seems odd if this is simply a sandbox squirt girls w/ water in bikinis for fun kind of thing.
