While that may sound extreme, it is really just them dressed up in revealing furry outfits with the respective ears of their animals atop their head. Peach Ball starts like most Senran Kagura games do, a wild and incomprehensible situation occurs that sees the five girls transformed into animals. This was also one of the reasons why Reflexions felt so empty, and lacking in variety among its cast. A few of my favorites Katsuragi, and Hikage, sadly just didn’t make the cut. While the game does feature Haruka as the host to the games’ events, Peach Ball only features Yumi, Asuka, Ryona, Murasaki, and Yomi to flesh out its playable roster, which for some reason, are the exact selection of girls that were featured in Reflexions, a game I found to be a complete waste of time. One of Peach Ball’s most glaring issues, from my perspective, is that we are only given 5 girls from the several dozen that have been introduced over the series’ lifetime, and not even many of the fan favorites. The different schools pack a variety of personalities among the cast, and it’s their bonds of friendship that always shines a light no matter how dark the world can get.

The series is often at its best when the girls are caught in a bizarre situation and must stick with it until they arrive at a solution to get their lives back to normal.

Peach Ball is the latest spin-off to see a small selection of girls break away from the clothes tearing, high action spectacle the series is known for, and to have them take part in some cheeky pinball antics. The series has strayed from its hack and slash roots often to have the cast of girls take part in a cook-off, water gun fights, card battles, to even a massage based dating game the latter of which was sadly not the series’ finest hour. Senran Kagura has been an ever growing franchise, one not content with sticking to a single genre.
