Senran Kagura Burst for Nintendo 3DS

About Senran Kagura Burst for Nintendo 3DS

Senran Kagura Burst is the game that started the series, introducing the students of the Hanzo National Academy and their rivals at the Hebijo Clandestine Girls Academy. Good shinobi and evil shinobi train in secret, and the story shows the same events from both sides, so you see why each group fights. The writing mixes comedy, friendship and rivalry, and the short missions make the story easy to follow in small sessions on the handheld.

The action plays as side view brawling, where you run through stages and beat waves of enemies with quick attacks, launchers and huge special moves. Each student has her own weapon and fighting style, and clearing missions earns new moves and outfits. Playing both school stories unlocks the full picture, along with extra characters to try. It is a simple and energetic formula that suits short bursts of play, and the bright presentation keeps every fight easy to read.

It helps to know before shopping that the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo 3DS shut its doors in March 2023, which ended new digital sales for this game. Anyone looking for it now should hunt for a physical cartridge at a game shop or from a trusted seller online. If you bought the digital version years ago, you can still access your purchased games as before. Checking that a used copy includes the box is a nice bonus for collectors.

Burst is a friendly starting point for the whole shinobi series.
