SENRAN KAGURA series makes its Nintendo Switch debut with SENRAN KAGURA Reflexions, releasing on 13th September
Marvelous Europe reveals release date for touching, narrative-focused entry in genre-spanning series
Tunbridge Wells, UK — 4th September, 2018 — Marvelous Europe has today announced 13th September 2018 as the digital release date of SENRAN KAGURA Reflexions, the Nintendo Switch exclusive entry in the ever popular SENRAN KAGURA series, complete with French language localisation. Fans can also pre-order the game in Europe from this Thursday (30th August) via the Nintendo eShop.
The unique properties of the Nintendo Switch Joy-Con controllers will let fans get closer than ever to some of the shinobi girls of SENRAN KAGURA, starting with Asuka of the Hanzō National Academy. Get ‘hands on’ and help massage away her stress by employing the art of reflexology, deepening the relationship formed with her while progressing through a narrative experience with multiple endings. Pay close attention to Asuka’s feedback from the HD rumble technology in the Joy-Con controllers, as the better players react to her signals, the closer they will become to her.
Fan-favourite characters from the SENRAN KAGURA series will also be available as DLC content – Yumi will be available at launch, followed by Murasaki, Ryōna and Yomi in the weeks following launch.
After brutal melees, rhythmic cooking contests and shockingly serious water gun fights, the SENRAN KAGURA series is ready to take on the world of interactive storytelling for the first time and give players a chance to get to know the shinobi heroine Asuka in surprising new ways. SENRAN KAGURA Reflexions uses the unique properties of the Joy-Con to employ the art of reflexology and massage. Melt away Asuka’s worries and stresses by hand or through a variety of useful tools, and explore deeper relationships than have ever been possible in the series before.
The Nintendo Switch system’s advanced HD rumble technology provides a more realistic sense of interaction and feeling with Asuka than ever before, helping guide players to react to her signals and give her some much-needed relaxation. Interacting with her in different ways will lead players across branching paths toward one of seven different situations and six unique endings – and that’s just for Asuka.
Developed by Honey Parade Games, SENRAN KAGURA Reflexions will launch on 13th September 2018 in Europe from Marvelous Games, and on the same day in North America from XSEED Games. The game has been rated PEGI 16 in Europe, USK 18 in Germany, MA15+ in Australia and M for Mature in North America.

Imagine taking what we loved about 4 Ultimate and soaking it in fireworks. That is exactly what the new Hunting Arts bring the the party here. Players can charge a gauge while out on a hunt before unleashing a special attack with a bit of theatrics. Despite its already campy design, this does nothing but simply offer a little more pop to the battleground – while delivering just a smidge of assistance compared to the bare-bones combat that we have been accustomed to. Sure, the idea of a special attack is a bit to take in from those hardcore hunters out there, but I don’t feel like it took away from any of the depth that we have received from this stoic series for years.
I remember back when I first played Monster Hunter 3 back on the Nintendo Wii years ago. I was so lost and wanted to quit shortly after starting. Ten to fifteen hours later, it all clicked and I went with it – and have enjoyed the franchise ever since. Generations’ additions don’t require the player to have to swallow that learning curve in order to play, and that is part of what makes it so special. These arts may take a minute to get used to, but unlike other namesakes that added in silliness to become more accessible (looking at you Fable 3), it does nothing more than enhance the already great structure in place. Palicoes are also back as your little semi-customizable sidekicks of sorts, and are better than ever. With new quests that let you take control of these Felynes, the franchise dips its toe into a bit of a humorous field in order to add a light layer of meaning to the already fan-favorite cats.
