Thong wearing zombie slayer is boring?


On the surface, Oneechanbara Vortex sounds like the greatest game ever created. You play a bikini wearing, katana wielding supermodel of a woman whose mission is the slaying of zombies. In theory, the only way you could make this game any better is to throw in some ninjas and pirates. Unfortunately, like so many great ideas, it works wonderfully on paper, but fails in the execution. Granted, we haven't actually played Oneechanbara X, but if this video is any indication, it looks like a real snoozer. Boring, generic hack and slash gameplay seems to be the order of the day, and the shooting character looks even worse. Watch the video after the break.


See what we mean? The game's American release is still in limbo. Should we be happy or sad about that?

2. Backgrounds look a bit bland, bu I dunno, it looks fun to me. Sometimes you just want a hack and slash style game to release some stress

5. I'm pretty sure, that there's more to it than what given in the trailers, when you think about it DMC is exactly the same with less women more demons than zombies but people still enjoy it..

6. It looks like an agile Resident Evil, or a Devil May Cry with zombies.

Resident Evil 4 and Dead Rising have set the zombie bar; it doesn't looke like this game can compete with either.

@1, technically, they aren't human any more...maybe zombification grants them some excessive blood cell reproduction? ;)
