Onechanbara: Bikini Zombie Slayers

Also known as:  Oneechanbara Revolution (Japan)

Developer: Tamsoft

Onechanbara: Bikini Zombie Slayers is a guilty pleasure of mine, as I love cheesy B-movies and the Onechanbara games are essentially the video game version of a B-movie. The game is even pretty fun when you first play it. The problem with Bikini Zombie Slayers lies with the repetition in the gameplay. Despite some minor changes in environments and various different enemies to dismember, it generally just feels like you’re doing the exact same thing over and over and over again. Add in some motion controls that don't always work as they should and you may find yourself looking like you’re trying to swat away a bunch of phantom flies buzzing around your head as you try to perform combos to do-away with all of them dang zombies and their kin. Onechanbara: Bikini Zombie Slayers, like most games in the series, is a game that's fun in small doses here and there, but a game that ultimately fails at being passable.
