It's a fun game to help pass the time. The story picks up from when the original 3DS game leaves off, retconning the final chapter. The DLC modes for this game are fun, including the side scrolling shooter, I know people complain that it's "too hard" but they don't get you can use your strong attacks for melee to cancel bullets about to hit you. The other 2 DLC stories continue from the end of the game, nothing major just fun stuff and the outfits galore are some really good stuff. Really allows for customization in many ways. The music soundtrack is nice too, that's the main thing with the Double D edition (Double Disks, geddit?). There's plenty of side missions, challenges, and Shinobi stone customization (which totally break the game making you unkillable and can use your ninja arts in seconds). The Yoma Nest allows skins for weapons, a definite plus which is something sadly never utilized again. You have the AR feature to pose the girls in your room if you have the AR cards that came with the 3DS.
It's definitely one of the darker, if not the darkest entry to the Senran Kagura series so far since the main enemies are the yoma, the main baddies in this universe. It's pretty unnerving how some of the enemy/boss designs are, even horrifying are some of the bios. Least in this game people can learn the story of Kagura and Naraku, newcomers to the SK series and DLC in Estival Versus. The main thing apparently is that this is a separate timeline from the Versus title games.
What's a bit disappointing keeping it from a 5 star is that you can't play as Kagura or Naraku even after beating the game...no DLC for them or their outfits either. The stages feel kinda small or short, least compared to the original 3DS game. A lot of the enemies feel like you're fighting through paper, lacking the weight of actually striking something. The 3D boss battles are definitely a challenge, though some can be unbalanced especially at an earlier stage in the game when you're low leveled meaning grinding through challenges or going through easier difficulty. If you played through the first 3DS game, you will have a hard time getting used to enemy patterns here.
It's not a perfect 5 out of 5, but it's certainly up there and worth at least a full playthrough. Also, there's no actual nudity, just keep that in mind if you plan on picking it up for that. There's more character development and plot resolutions that happen in this game compared to the Versus series.
