If anyone else does play it...beware the zombies made of clouds of blood. You need to get an epic ass chain of perfectly timed attacks to kill them...I still haven't done it once...
Review: Onechanbara: Bikini Samurai Squad
- Thread starter John Funk
- Start date
Typical button bashing game tactics to throw in some scantly clad women to compensate for lack of good gameplay...
it's like a hentai fighter with out the promise of actual tits and even wit that given to you you'd still have to deal with embarrassingly long loading screens. it would be a shame if yatzee made a video input about this game 2-marrow.
Note: if I wanna kill time and let off some steam there's still bullet witch.

Funny that you mention it, Earth Defense Force and Oneechanbara were the two most popular series out of the Simple 2000 though I think EDF was quite a bit more popular (for obvious reasons like being actually awesome to play). I bought another S2000 game by Tamsoft (that's the dev behind Oneechanbara) out of curiousity once, figured after all these games they'd have a good grasp on how to make a beat 'em up. Turned out they don't.Onyx Oblivion said:
Speaking of girls slashing up hordes of enemies and EDF, I'm still waiting for more info on Dynamic Slash... If you need a killing-hordes-of-enemies-and-getting-splattered-with-blood fix in the meantime the Wii has Onslaught for that.
Oh and on that topic, EDF2017 had tons of annoying load times but installing to the HDD creatly reduced them, does installing help Oneechanbara in any way?
no clue about the load times...i usually kept 7 GB free since that's the average install space needed, but then that fucking TLAD came out...KDR_11k said:
The load screen mini-game could be Yahtzee's next freeware game. It could star his "The World Has Yet To Realize My Genius" avatar fighting off the little demons and Quick Time Events...
You know, I'd have to point out something someone said earlier about this being an "honest" game. If you think about it, all video games are pretty consistent in the demographcis they are selling to. It's pretty hard to go wrong when looking at the art/gameplay/etc. of a game and make assumptions of where the developers were going with it these days.
I think this game is about as honest with its audience and clearly aimed at certain tastes just as much as Space Marine War Shooter #351 and J-RPG #495,339,056. Rare is the game that comes along that looks like, say, a quaint kiddie roleplaying game that soon one realizes is an esoteric mind trip with a tongue planted firmly in cheek sense of humor about itself (case in this point being Earthbound, of course).

Seriously, swords, guns, blood, bikinis, babes-all thats missing is a beer chug off and a trip to the strip club and this game would have it all.........and yet you wonder why this game has shitty gameplay? They're not going for that...they found the niche they want and are filling it perfectly
The subtitle was added for the west because I don't think many people would get the pun that is Oneechanbara (Oneechan = big sister/hot woman, chambara = samurai movies, one version of the game was called Oneechan Blue, a play on Samurai Champloo).Nikajo said:
