I'm sure some of Gaf remembers the 360 and wii games that came out in the US for the Oneechanbara series and remember the shamelessness and overall lewdness of the games and the jank of them.
Well this one is slightly different since it takes a page from the Kagura part of the story where they tightned up quite a few tings and added half vampire sisters which one speaks English in about 20% of her lines ("Hey mole, Time for RENVENGE" is a favorite of mine) she's basically if Blood Rayne and Dante mated you'd get Kagura.
This game also has the bonus that you can use 4 characters in your team for some sick combos as well as a formation where all 4 of them fight at the same time (Similar to the team attack in some of the warriors games) to spice up the action.
The main crux of the combat is the characters are all from the blood line of the baneful blood where cursed blood (Undead mainly) is used by them to power up their attacks and go into a berzerker rage where they go ham. From the wiki it's translated thuson reaching berserk state , those with Baneful Blood make a last ditch effort to contain the reaction, but will inevitably succumb to it's effects. The resulting burst of power will destroy any undead within arm's length. The individual will then become enveloped in a hazy, dark-colored aura.
Aside from the strength and speed boost, individuals in a berserk state will be able to destroy tougher mooks without using the disembowel move or Ecstasy Combos (or in Z Kagura, Vamp Skills).They also generate exacy bar much faster This state comes at a price: the violent movement of the blood takes a toll on their bodies, hence the loss of health. Moreover, the healing effect of Green Gems will have no effect. Only concentrated tainted blood in the form of Red Orbs or Blood Clusters can restore health.
In Z Kagura, Kagura and Saaya can counteract the berserk damage by utilizing the Blood Recovery ability unique to vampires. (Clever use of story to explain a way of making it get easier and add a new mechanic) But in this game only the half vampire sisters can do that and Aya and Saki need to play the usual thing, although in this game they go even further by giving them a knock off of Devil Trigger:
In This one there is no more decay of health since they have refined their abilities to the next level.
Another aspect to cursed blood is it builds up on your weapons lowering their effectiveness, you have to periodicaly clean the weapon through either the reload mechanic or in this edition the Cool Combo finishers that do an extra attack for proper timing that does much more damage as well as instantly cleaning your weapon so you don't need to pause to clean your weapon. These little changes they have continued to add makes this game out of the bad area and with a bit better budget and more time this game can be a great spectacle fighter. They are almost there.
And then there is the infamous 'buy early for free dlc' banana strawberry bikini costumes

I am rather dubious on how much of a limited run this is since I have the dlc myself with my purchase.
I'm sure some on gaf have this game and can help me through some of the thing and we can discuss it. I will also be streaming this bad boy on www.twitch.tv/shinmaruku I hope you come watch.
Let us experince this nuttery together and hopefully we can get some attention and beg Gio to bring this to the US so I can double dip.
