Hide and attack the crowds of invading zombies, and at the very end, survive and escape the deadly high school. There exist several firearms in the game such as handguns, assault rifles, sniper rifles, shotguns, submachine guns, and rocket launchers. The school has been suddenly cut off by the outside world and surrounded by the crowds of zombies. It never quite reaches the glory promised in the first half of the game, but this spin-off of the Onechanbara franchise definitely has potential.SG/ZH is a shooting action game where the story takes place at “Kirisaki High School”. It’s all so obscenely trashy and tongue-in-cheek that it’s hard not to wonder how the developers plan to follow this up. It may be a bit pricey for a budget title, but I found myself smiling constantly throughout the experience. I’d have loved to see them kick things up a notch and get really weird but, instead, it all felt a bit uneven and rushed.ĭespite it’s many, many flaws, School Girl/Zombie Hunter was a solid, camp-drenched romp, and it left me craving more. It’s mostly fine but extremely anti-climactic. The thrill of just how batshit insane everything was started to wear a bit thin by the time I got to the last chapter of the game, and the ending was way too serious. If you want to play with a friend, it’ll have to be over an internet connection on separate consoles. Unfortunately, split-screen local play isn’t an option. There are only ten levels to choose from, but it was fun while it lasted. Still, I had a good time running through it with my roommate and three other strangers. Zom-zoms will go sliding sideways across the floor like a drunkard attempting to impersonate Tom Cruise in Risky Business, and the lag is genuinely, all around, pretty terrible. I did have the chance to test out the online component, and it’s safe to say that it’s a total mess. I can’t help but wonder how exactly those tiny pieces of produce are staying in place, but I suppose the game was never meant to be realistic. They range from different colored thongs to one that is literally just cherry tomatoes covering their nipples and a single, small leaf of lettuce between the legs. They’re only $0.99 a piece, but it’s something to consider. However, as I found out once the game launched on PSN, that’s because they locked all of the truly skimpy outfits away as paid DLC. Watching all five of the lingerie-clad leading ladies prance around rotting corpses while shooting rocket launchers and automatic weapons is just as hilarious as it sounds.Īnother thing that I spoke about during my previous report was how the game never really feels all that “sexy.” It almost seems like the developers are mocking their target demographic to a degree. You only get to do this once per mission though, and your character will be running around in their underwear until you reach the end. If you ever find yourself overwhelmed by enemies, you can tear off your clothes and throw them as a distraction. The missions each offer different objectives, but they all amount to the same basic premise: Kill a bunch of zom-zoms. It’s incredibly bare bones, but it’s also very functional. The combat is comprised of third-person, Earth Defense Force–styled gunplay, a one-button melee attack, and the ability to use various items like grenades and tripwires. Also, that they really don’t like wearing clothes. The one thing all of them have in common is their desire to escape the school where they’re stranded. The cast is split between generic, shy types and ultra-vain, over-the-top badasses. I touched upon it a bit during my review in progress a few days ago, but everything is presented in a deliriously fashioned B-movie sheen. The best parts have almost nothing to do with any overarching plot, it’s the inane dialogue exchanges where it really shines. The story focuses around five ladies as they battle their way through, the adorably named, zom-zoms. They don’t give a fuck about common sense or the practicality of covering yourself up when surrounded by things that are trying to bite you. In fact, they’re constantly throwing their clothes and used underwear into the hordes of undead enemies. These high school ladies don’t appear to be too worried about getting bitten though. You’ve got school girls, and you’ve got zombies. Even the title doesn’t leave a hell of a lot to the imagination. This is a game that knows exactly what it is.
