Clearing these missions will accrue Peach Points, and once you have enough you can access a Sexy Challenge by hitting the girl with the ball. As you play your typical game of pinball, Peach Missions will appear on the right side of the screen that ask you to hit certain targets or reach a specified score. Peach Ball has an absurd amount of mechanics, so I’ll try to keep it limited to the most relevant ones. But enough about the story, let’s get to the gameplay… although playing Peach Ball for the pinball is a bit like reading Playboy for the articles.
The cutscene dialogue before and after each stage is sometimes funny and often cringe-y, but I have to admit that it kept even a total newcomer like me entertained.
In the game’s Story Mode, you select one of the five girls and go through five stages where you rescue all of the other protagonists from their furry fates. Haruka’s quick thinking leads her to come up with an extremely convoluted solution to this problem: you must talk to the girls to “stimulate their minds and awaken their human consciousness”, then release a mist contained within a device called the Peach Ball to restore their humanity – and what better way to achieve the proper vibrational force needed to release the mist than by luring the girls on top of a pinball machine and repeatedly smacking them with the ball?Īs you may have guessed, Peach Ball is indeed a pinball game, mixed with a dash of visual novel. This affliction can be spread through touch, so of course all five are quickly infected. As it turns out, it’s actually one of Haruka’s experiments, “Beastall”, which transforms whoever touches it into a human-animal hybrid. Peach Ball is the latest entry, and while the genre is new, the sexed-up atmosphere is exactly the same.įive of the Senran Kagura girls are having a video game tournament at the arcade their friend Haruka works at when one of them finds a mysterious green substance in the bathroom and mistakes it for hand soap. These include Bon Appétit!, a rhythm cooking game, Peach Beach Splash, a third-person shooter with water guns, and Reflexions, a dating sim where you can give the girls massages. Lately though, Senran Kagura has strayed from its side-scrolling roots and branched out into various spin-offs. If by some miracle you’ve managed to avoid hearing anything about the franchise, it’s ostensibly a series of beat ‘em ups starring an all-female cast of ninjas, though in reality they’re thinly-veiled excuses for otaku to ogle half-naked anime girls. Senran Kagura is one of those games that’s so infamous that even those who’ve never played a single entry are probably aware of it.
