Burst Renewal should be the gold standard on how to remake a game and stay faithful to the original. The gameplay is no longer a side scrolling beat 'em up and was redone to be a hack n slash like Shinovi and Estival Versus. Combat is quick, satisfying, and just fun to play in general. The music is really good, with each character having their own theme with some absolute bangers. Also, the visual novel aspect of the game seems to have better translations as well, which is greatly appreciated. I personally love the little details they added in the menus. During different parts of the story, characters will be absent or have different animations. It's a game that has a lot of heart and soul. It's a shame most people dismiss the franchise as an ecchi and move on, but it legitimately has an interesting story, great character dynamics, and is really funny at times. I absolutely recommend this game. (P.S. I know it will never happen, but I would love to see Deep Crimson get a remake like this did. 🙏)

I often see people say "I came for the lewds but stayed for the gameplay" to which I usually call bullshit. This game makes me want to say that very same thing. Senran Kagura is a spectacle hack n slash game, so it happens to be in my favortie action game genre, but the game is also famed for the fanservice, and boy oh boy, I can't praise this game enough. If you're fan of fanservice, general lewdness and hack n slash games, this game is a dream come true. The hack n slash combo mechanics are definitely not in the league of Ninja Gaiden or Devil May Cry, but it's still structured in a way that demands your attention, so while it's button-mashy compared to the aforementioned games, you still have to pay close attention to the visual cues to make sure you chase, parry, block, and dodge when you need to. Underlying it all is clothing destruction and sexy transformations that add eye-candy and constantly tease you. Best of all, if you want more spice, you can enhance your experience with mods to change the clothing to your taste, or banish them from obstructing your... visual research. Overall, a hack n slash game that uniquely manages to be engaging and relaxing at the same time, feelings very satisfying to play. For the those interested, the story is also surprisingly deep and worthwhile to experience. 8.9/10 - 9/10 without mods. 9.5/10 - 9.8/10 with mods, an absolute must-play. Cheers!!! I CAME FOR THE LEWDS AND THE GAMEPLAY. I STAYED FOR THE LEWDS AND THE GAMEPLAY!!!

Senran Kagura Burst Re:Newal is a full-scale reimagining of the original Senran Kagura: Burst, rebuilt from the ground up by Tamsoft and published on PC by XSEED Games and Marvelous USA, Inc. Instead of the 2.5D brawler format of the original 3DS release, this remake transitions the experience into a fully 3D hack-and-slash action game, aligning it with later entries in the franchise while preserving the foundational story that introduced fans to the dual narratives of the Hanzo and Hebijo shinobi academies. It is a game that openly embraces its identity—fast-paced combat, flashy transformation sequences, and unabashed fanservice—yet it also makes a sincere effort to update its storytelling, mechanics, and presentation for a modern audience. The story follows two parallel factions: the noble Hanzo Academy trainees, who fight for justice and tradition, and the darker Hebijo shinobi, who serve the shadows and complete morally complex missions. Burst Re:Newal presents both perspectives in full campaigns, making the narrative more emotionally grounded than newcomers might expect. Character arcs explore rivalry, loyalty, personal insecurity, and the harsh expectations placed on young shinobi. Even with its playful tone, the game gives surprising weight to themes of duty and the consequences of choosing one’s own path. The expanded cutscenes, improved voice work, and richer character models help the story feel more cinematic and engaging than it did in its handheld form. The combat system is the centerpiece of Burst Re:Newal, and it benefits enormously from the shift to full 3D. Each shinobi boasts her own fighting style, complete with unique combos, aerial moves, and special Ninja Arts. The remake introduces mechanics like parrying, guard breaks, and smoother animation transitions that make combat feel more refined than the series’ earlier entries. Transformation sequences—where characters unleash their “Shinobi Mode” and power up—remain a hallmark of the franchise, providing both mechanical advantages and dramatic flair through stylized cut-ins. Enemy waves are numerous, encouraging crowd-control tactics and rewarding movement-heavy playstyles. While the core loop is straightforward—enter an arena, defeat enemies, face a boss—the fluidity of combat and the diversity of characters support extended play without wearing too thin. Like every Senran Kagura game, Burst Re:Newal leans heavily into its fanservice elements. Clothing destruction, collectible outfits, lingerie sets, and character-customization modes are interwoven throughout the experience. For players who enjoy this side of the franchise, the game delivers exactly what is expected with high production value and a playful, self-aware tone. For others who may be uncomfortable with such presentation, it remains a major barrier to entry. The game makes no effort to hide what it is, and its appeal is strongest among players who embrace its blend of humor, sexuality, and flashy action without expecting restraint. The remake’s visual overhaul is significant compared to the original, with upgraded textures, higher-resolution models, more detailed environments, and improved lighting effects. While not on par with AAA action titles, it is polished for a mid-budget anime-action game and runs smoothly on PC. The soundtrack features energetic rock tracks and dramatic battle themes that fit the frantic pace of combat, complemented by expressive voice performances across both story routes. The presentation overall feels cohesive: colorful, exaggerated, and consistent with the series’ established tone. However, Burst Re:Newal is not without flaws. Mission design can become repetitive, especially during extended grinding or optional replay loops where objectives vary little beyond defeating waves of enemies. Some environments feel simple or sparsely detailed, reflecting the constraints of the game’s mid-tier budget. The fanservice elements, while central to the series’ identity, overshadow narrative depth for players not already attuned to the franchise’s style. And once both story routes are completed, the incentive to continue—beyond unlocking costumes or mastering every character—may feel limited. Despite these limitations, Senran Kagura Burst Re:Newal succeeds in delivering a fast, energetic, and faithful reimagining of the game that started the series’ rise to popularity. It offers a more engaging combat system, a stronger narrative presentation, and enough improvements to justify its existence even for players familiar with the original. It is a stylish, character-driven action title that knows its audience and caters to them with confidence and flair. For fans of anime-style beat-’em-ups, those invested in the Senran Kagura universe, or anyone seeking a vibrant, over-the-top action game with personality, the remake provides a satisfying and polished experience—so long as its signature brand of fanservice aligns with your tastes. Rating: 9/10

Very fun 3D arena fighter, character designs are good, fights with transformations, specials and such make it feel very anime. I played through the game in japanese and it was a fun learning experience, shame the IP is pretty much retired, finished both campaigns, post credits content and sides. And yes, I did play this for the story and gameplay.

Highly Recommended 9/10* The game looks decent, the models and textures are decent but there is something about senran kagura games that i don't like, and its the lighting or maybe the color palette, everything looks kinda flat, i would prefer more contrast colors, but this may be totally subjective and others may have different opinion. Now, the character designs are amazing, the gameplay is kinda mid, almost repetitive, but the game is a decent button smasher hack and slash with lot of unlockable clothes, achievements and decent priced steam cards, cant complain much, it would be awesome if didn't had that much dlcs, but anyways... Edit: welp, fixed the flat color feel using reshade, so now the game looks like i want, and even tho the game is kinda grindy and repetitive, im kinda hooked to it, now i want to level up each character to max with both combat styles and so, im getting a little addictive not gonna lie, it feels great to button smash my way through each mission over and over again just to get the higher rank possible in each one. There are a lot of characters and you can customize them and they keep the changes even while those characters are npcs(enemies) which is funny, now everybody its a cat/dog/bunny anime girl
