Destroy The Shogun
Had fun with this. Took me about 2 hours to beat. Easier/more forgiving than a lot of retro-style platformers, which was a plus to me. Some very fun music, and a grappling hook that felt good to use. Would have liked if it was a little bit longer, but still felt satisfying enough as-is.

I will change this review if need be but so far, you can’t seem to save and the game will crash to windows.

Ninja Pizza Girl
Color me amused. I am not someone who considers themselves good enough to be a speedrunner. I never will and am at peace with that. I may have been as a youngster but not anymore. However, if I were to pick up a game and recommend it to them and players like me it’d be Ninja Pizza Girl. This may well be one of the more underappreciated games released in the past twelve months.
Ninja Pizza Girl is a game that I’ve had sitting on my wishlist since its release last September. That’s really not saying much as I tend to have a wishlist containing every game that has trading cards that I don’t own. And so it sat there until I was recently recommended the game by a regular Steamified reader. He suggested that I may want to feature it given the popularity of the genre among readers. I didn’t even know that the game was funded by the Queensland State Government, the state in which I live. I’m particularly critical of games that are from the place I call ‘home’. This is because I don’t want my personal cheerleading to persuade you to buy a game you’d be unhappy with. However, due to how much fun I actually did have with the game it’s impossible not to recommend it to you.

Me: Ninjas and Pizza? This is basically every mans dream combination.
Distant voice: What about the girl?
Me: Gemma? Oh she’s cool, BUT THE PIZZA! mouthwater intensifies
Ninja Pizza Girl is a game about a girl named Gemma, who helps her dad deliver pizza… the cool way, by jumping over roof tops like a true ninja. But Megaco, a big company who monopolises the industry in the game, hired ninjas to stop Gemma from delivering pizzas (ps: the ninjas are jerks).

DEAD OR ALIVE 5 Last Round: Core Fighters
I love this game, but I’m not going to recommend it without severe reservations. The base is an excellent fighter, but the port is worse than the console versions in so many ways. Many of those ways concern the online multiplayer part of the game though, so if you’ve got a bunch of friends in your area to play this with they might not be so much of an issue.
I’m going to split this in two sections; the base game and the platform comparison. Scroll down if you want to read in what ways it’s worse (and better) than the PS4 version.

This is a difficult game for me to review.
In general, I fucking love the Dead or Alive games.
The fighting engine was classically fast and skillful without requiring knowledge of enjoyment-obliterating exploits or skin peelingly long sessions of practice to get to a basic level of gameplay.
Though it will historically be known as the series that boldly upheld the grand tradition of cheesecake and beefcake heavy character designs, the actual fighting system of advantage and reversal is much deeper in scope than nearly all of its peers, and spreading out the lengthy character movesets across less buttons means its easier for an unpracticed player picking up the controls for the first time to feel like they’re accomplishing something beyond just marveling at the various buff studly men and hot sassy ladies.

Nightshade／百花百狼
I really have no idea what to say about this game, but I will try my best.
–-I like everything medieval so the setting and atmosphere was appealing. I think it did a fair job conveying it.
—The sound track throughout the game nicely coincides with the atmosphere. I did not tend to like the opening theme song, but, in hindsight, it works anyway despite it.
—The artwork was well done and for once most/all the characters are dressed stylish instead of sad and pathetic (I am especially looking at you Amnesia memories).
– Real player with 92.2 hrs in game
TL;DR Nightshade is the equivalent of an AAA game in the otome world, and absolutely worth its price.
First for an overview.
Nightshade is a visual novel on what it means to be a shinobi in the Sengoku era of Japan, during a time of tentative balance teering on the brink of change. The main character (I strongly recommend keeping the canon name Enju since the other characters will actually say her name) is a girl who is determined to give back to her shinobi village, and finds herself way in over her head in a conspiracy.

Akane the Kunoichi
This game. OH BOY, this game. I’ve finished it. Darn, I even got all the kimonos! (bonus items)
I’ve made it a point to at least TRY finishing it before writing a negative review, so I know what else is wrong with it. Well, ended up finishing it all.
Still won’t recommend this game to anyone. Ever. Unless I really want to see them raging.
To start this off, I’ll say this doesn’t SEEM like a bad game. It doesn’t even look so bad either. It only occurrs to you how bad it is when you start playing it. And this pisses me off the most. It could’ve been a good game, all it needs are some minor fixes…

So, the revealing portrait of the protagonist you see in the store page only appears on the title screen and when you use your ninja magic. I think it’s cute. I don’t really care what other people think of it. Now, let’s talk about the game.
Our heroine is a plucky ninja with a secret crush on a samurai, who gets kidnapped Double Dragon style in the opening cutscene by a rival ninja. She sets out to rescue him, and to kick any butts standing between her and her true love.
This is a pretty simple platformer, which seems to be aiming for the style of the old school platformers like Shinobi, or maybe the original Ninja Gaiden. The art is chibi style, the sound is basic but functional, and there’s gamepad support.

RONIN
100% completion.
Ah, Ronin. I have a love-hate relationship with this game, but at least it never lies to me.
THE CONTROLS
The controls, while difficult to get used to at first, are always consistent and usually people saying the controls are inconsistent just aren’t used to the controls and are blaming the game instead of their own actions. It’s possible to do the exact same actions in the exact same order and get the exact same result. I never had huge problems with the controls of the game when I got used to them, although occasionally i would end up targeting the wrong person because two attack icons were right next to each other and I wasn’t paying enough attention to know which one was which.

SENRAN KAGURA SHINOVI VERSUS
If not for this game, I would never have given Senran Kagura another chance after watching the anime adaptation’s first episode.
A great game by musou game standards (A single overpowered character batting aside hundreds of weaker foes).
While there are some downsides to the game, it’s easily my second favourite title of the genre after the Dynasty Warriors spinoff, Samurai Warriors. Battles are fast paced and at some times challenging; the 22 playable characters all manage to feel distinct even though the combo maps only differ a little for the most part; the soundtrack is really, REALLY good!
– Real player with 58.5 hrs in game
Don’t think of this series as just a vehicle for sexy characters. As much as the aesthetic and vibe of the sexy anime schoolgirls, every other aspect of the game is given close attention and is high quality. The soundtrack is gigantic and full of extremely catchy and intricate hard rock tunes. The sheer amount of voice actors and how many lines they all recorded is massive. The controls and battle mechanics are ridiculously fluid and fun. The story is voluminous.
The good:
Fighting through the levels can become more like a dance given all of the choices you get for how to slice and dice your enemies. You can launch them in the air and follow up with a mid-air combo, you can instead work through big groups with ground combos or use special attacks which are saved up for by getting more combo hits.

DEAD OR ALIVE 6
My Thoughts:
Dead or Alive 6 is now officially more Dead than Alive.
I’m not a hardcore Dead or Alive player, but it was one of the first fighting games that I committed to. The previous iteration of DOA, Dead or Alive 5 Last Round despite its issues is an amazing game. DOA6 is a game that I have been playing for a full year and instead of it being the next great entry in the DOA series, 6 is plagued with flawed mechanics, questionable balancing and some of the worst development support I think I’ve ever seen.

I’m not real fan of fighting game, but this game is the only one i can learn how its system working from tutorial mode and that will help me belong to play this game, for example:
-
Triangle system (Strike - Hold - Throw) and how to counter each other
-
How to combo (Stun opponent = Launch == Juggle)
-
Strike, Hold, Throw from BASIC to ADVANCED
-
Chain attack (how to cancel hit when you perform combo, juggle, bait opponent, etc…)
-
Wake up system, wake up kick, fast recovery (which help you make advantage or against opponent when you’re downing)

SENRAN KAGURA Burst Re:Newal
Overall, this is the best Senran Kagura game, but with a few caveats.
Senran Kagura: Burst Re:Newal is a complete remake of Senran Kagura: Burst which was a side-scrolling beat ‘em up on Nintendo 3DS and the first game in the Senran Kagura series. The story is the same but everything else was rebuilt from the ground up. If you’re new to the series I recommend starting here. Being the latest entry, Burst Re:Newal has by far the best graphics and gameplay out of all mainline Senran Kagura games, and the story takes you all the way to the beginning and does a very good job of introducing the setting and characters.

What if Tekken was all about boob physics?
Preclaimer
- This isn’t a game with fanservice. This is fanservice using it’s disguise as a game as excuse to be in your Steam library. Yes, I make this a valid point to know.
Chronology
Yes, big busted lewd ninjas come with a story somewhat continuing throughout the main games of the series. If you care about understanding the later ones, you should know the prior ones.
All side games though are spinoffs not really needing any knowledge, but they basically play after the main series.
