For instance, in stages where you can choose your player, instead of them being assigned to you, I liked using Rei (the shot-gunner) with an SMG or Assault Rifle, purely because her character perk was, in my opinion, the most useful (giving you invincibility during your melee attacks). Each character has a special ability, with varying degrees of usefulness, but they can technically equip whatever you want. It isn’t really a beat em up, cuz the melee attacks, while situationally useful, have some major drawbacks, it isn’t really a fanservice based game, because despite what it really appears to be, a lot of the times you either can’t see the fan service in game, or it’s actually too useful to waste (such as using your uniform as zombie bait) because I’ll be damned if the game isn’t surprisingly difficult at times.īasic gameplay consists of shooting zombies with one of your six available infinite ammo weapons, each of the five characters being “adept” with a specific type, and the possible rocket launchers you can snag. Which comes back to the point of what this game is trying to be, because it’s sort of a shooter, but the game is segmented into small 2-5 minute stages that lose a lot of the shooter feel to it, especially given the range of some of the weapons and camera angles.
SG ZH SCHOOL GIRL ZOMBIE HUNTER SERIES
While I’m not particularly adverse to the use of common tropes to pad some aspects of a story, the fact is that THE WHOLE BLOODY THING is basically so cliché ridden I’m not entirely certain they came up with a plot, just inserted a general idea into a series of tropes, and not in a satirical or self-mocking way, it seemed quite serious. You’ve got your Zombie Apocalypse with your Five Man Band, or Five Woman Band in this case, with Sayuri as The Leader, Enami as The Lancer, Rei as The Big Guy, The Chick is Risa, and The Smart Guy (as close as it gets) is Mayaya. No, really, it hits about every cliché I can think of off the top of my head for a plethora of related genres that aren’t mutually exclusive. So, let’s start with the story, if anyone is even here for that, because there are a few things that need to be said about it.
Oddly enough, the game isn’t really “bad” per se, more of a weird genre limbo type deal.
It has all the bases to be: a fan service game, story driven, an action game, or a comedic parody, yet I found it to never really settle on any of the options it had going for it. While I have no doubt the developers set out to do…something, it feels as if they stuck their hands in too many pies, while not really committing to any of them. I suppose I should start off by mentioning that it’s like some weird cross between Resident Evil and Onechanbara, as weird as that may sound. Hoo boy, where to begin with School Girl/Zombie Hunter.
