Senran Kagura Peach Ball

8/10

Despite my lack of interest in the Senran Kagura franchise itself, I genuinely had a fun time playing. Even if you aren’t a big fan of overt sex appeal or anime aesthetics, there’s a pretty good chance you can have fun here too. Underneath all the anime girl stuff, there’s an honestly really well-made pinball game. Just remember, it definitely does earn that M for Mature rating, and goes pretty darn close to AO at times. A guilty pleasure, for sure, but a pleasure nonetheless. If you ar...

Senran Kagura Peach Ball is a pinball gaming masterpiece, but it's also incredibly light on content. There's just five characters and two tables, which really isn't a lot. Still, the content that is here is incredibly polished, gorgeous and addictive. These two tables are some of the most fun and jam-packed video game pinball tables I've ever experience, and if the game had just a few more of them, it would be a must-have for any pinball fans looking for their next adventure.

Marvelous and Honey∞Parade Games’ biggest mistake with Senran Kagura: Peach Ball was treating it as a budget title because it deserves so much more: more tables, more girls, more everything. Combining the cheeseball sexuality of Senran with pinball is perhaps the most brilliant idea this franchise has ever had and the execution of what is here is nearly flawless. But the lack of a diverse set of pinball tables and a curtailed cast keep Peach Ball from reaching the excellence it could have so easily achieved if the developers had more time and more ideas for what they wanted Peach Ball to be.

With customizable tables, special minigames, a story mode, and fan-favorite additional modes including diorama mode and the Dressing Room, Senran Kagura Peach Ball is set to be one of the hottest pinball games yet.

Do I really need to say anything? Anyone who knows me or hears me in the Nintendo Entertainment Podcast knows that I'm a bit bias to all things Fan Service and off the wall humor. Nintendo earlier released Senran Kagura: Reflexions as a little experiment using the Joy Controllers. Selling…

Pinball and voluptuous women? I guess that's one way to simultaneously capture the under 15s and over 45s markets.

When I was first offered the review for Senran Kagura Peach Ball, I assumed it was a beach volleyball or maybe a dodgeball game. Maybe even a reference to the blue balls this game intends to give some players. But no, the “ball” in said title refers to pinball. For those of you unfamiliar with the Senran Kagura franchise, they are a series of games that have an anime harem theme to go with their varying gameplay. The series has covered many different genres from beat ‘em ups, to fighting games, to cooking rhythm games, to third person shooters, and now pinball. What ties them all together is t...

You’ve got to ask yourself: if you’re looking for quality pinball, would you not be better off playing a pinball title that offers actual quality? And if you’re looking for something sexy, would you not be better off looking for something actually sexy? Peach Ball is broadly entertaining, but it’s hardly a pinnacle in either case. I will give the developers credit where credit is due though: for the longest time I’ve been saying that Senran Kagura should follow the lead of the likes of Dead or Alive and include a wider range of chest sizes. Flat is justice and all that (Marie Rose fo…

A few years ago, I had the (dis)pleasure to review Shinobi Refle: Senran Kagura, also known as Senran Kagura Reflexions in the West, a “game” that basically revolved around groping huge-chested anime chicks that looked like they had just graduated from middle school. That was my introduction to the wonderful world of Senran Kagura and ecchi (literally meaning “naughty” in Japanese) games in general. Senran Kagura: Peach Ball is the brand new game on the franchise and it’s nothing b...

So, I just don’t see the point in Senran Kagura Peach Ball. If you want to play pinball, download Pinball FX3 for free and you’re all sorted. Maybe buy a table or two that take your fancy to expand your options. If you want to see some anime tiddies, open up your browser and do a google search. I mean, Senran Kagura Peach Ball isn’t awful, but I don’t see any reason why you need to spend £35.99/$39.99 on it.

A group of teenage girls is accidentally doused with a potion that turns them into "animals." But there is a solution to save these sexy animal girls—you get them into a pinball machine and strike their bodies with a pinball until they collapse from apparent ecstasy and change back. It’s a tale as old as time.Read More

Going into Peach Ball, I half expected another game on the level of Peach Beach Splash; a fun cheeky narrative that utilized the cast in fun and interesting ways. Peach Ball is sadly not that game. While there is certain fun to be had here, the game just doesn’t justify it’s semi-high price tag with
