Onechanbara Z2: Chaos never really forgets where it came from. As a result, it's mired in some pretty simplisitic gameplay and storytelling. If you're a fan of the series, then it's worth checking out. Otherwise, you're better served by games like Devil May Cry.

At first glance, this is nothing but an overly sexualized gore-fest. However, there's more to it than meets the eye and, in the end, you can't deny how much fun you'll have after you swallow your pride and leave your scruples at the door!

Tamsoft may have upped the ante on a number of fronts, yet it's the core gameplay where this sequel suffers most. It's all well and good creating an offbeat world in which to put players, but Onechanbara is missing the depth to keep them there.
