Senran Kagura Reflexions brings a parade of honeys to Nintendo Switch
That's a clever title for this article, you understand, because it sort of incorporates the game developer's name.
Senran Kagura Reflexions, which was available to pre-order starting a few weeks ago, is now available to buy without the unpleasant wait, publisher XSEED Games announced today in a press release issued mere hours before the avalanche of Nintendo news unleashed by today's Nintendo Direct.
XSEED calls the game a "casual friendship-building experience," and the reason you might care to play it is that Reflexions features a few of the leading ladies from the main Senran Kagura series. Except now, instead of kicking butt or shooting one another with water pistols, they're doing more relaxing things while you interact with them in various M-rated ways.
"Senran Kagura Reflexions uses the unique properties of the Joy-Con to employ the art of reflexology and massage," notes today's press release. "Melt away Asuka's worries and stresses by hand or through a variety of useful tools, and explore deeper relationships than have ever been possible in the series before."
Asuka is the star of the show, for now, and players will have to judge the success of their actions by the reactions they see on-screen. This can lead to seven different "situations" and six different endings, but that's not the end of the story. In coming weeks, new characters will be added as DLC: Yumi, Murasaki, Ryōna and Yomi.
Senran Kagura Reflexions is developed by Honey Parade Games, which is otherwise best known for not much of anything else just yet. This was the studio's first effort, and so far the response from critics is that it doesn't do much to justify even its rather low price of $9.99 USD on the eShop. Check out the trailer embedded above to see if it might be up your alley anyway...
