The game comes out next week and there's no topic yet so here it is.
IGN preview:
"I had the chance to play through the first three stages and take in a few cutscenes during my time with Onechanbara. There isn't much difference between the stages aside from the scenery and the end boss, though battling through a hospital stage while zombies that someone had lit on fire rushed me was a bit hilarious. In fact, it's the goofy zombies that made me smile the most here. Even if you lop off their torsos, their legs will keep walking towards you in an attempt at impeding your progress. The zombies carrying the chain saws were another high point for me. It's just so silly."
Worthplaying preview:
"True to form, the Onechanbara games star a pair of sisters, with the elder Aya acting as the game's mascot. She goes into battle against legions of demons and undead, wielding a pair of swords and dressed in a superbly ridiculous outfit: tiny bikini, thigh-high leather boots, hot pink feather boa, and a cowboy hat. Her little sister Saki fights in a traditional schoolgirl uniform, using a single powerful blade and grappling moves to fling her opponents around. A noteworthy mechanic in the games involves the absolutely ridiculous torrents of blood that splatter all over the stage (and heroines) as zombies get hacked to bits. Blood clings more and more to your sword, and eventually your sword starts getting stuck in enemies unless you remember to shake it off every so often."
