The cult series Onechanbara from Japan is finally coming to North America this week thanks to D3 Publisher, who claim “It’s the perfect game for the guy without a date on Valentine’s day!” Still, I’ve also seen quite a few women take to the Hack-and-Slash genre this game is in. Onechanbara: Bikini Zombie Slayers on Nintendo Wii is the ultimate blood-splattering samurai action game combined with the ultimate fantasy characters. Take on the role of the beautiful but deadly Aya or her half-blooded sister, Saki. Armed with only their swords and beauty, these deadly sisters will stop at nothing to rid their home of the zombie threat. Hot babes, sexy outfits, swords, blood and zombies… who could ask for more on Valentine’s day? They are the perfect dates for this weekend. You can also invite a friend or loved one to join in on the fight with the killer Co-Op mode to rid the city of the zombie infestation.

The prequel to Onechanbara: Bikini Zombie Slayers, Onechanbara: Bikini Samurai Squad on Xbox 360 features Aya, a descendent of the family known as IMICHI — meaning: blood that goes out of control — reconciling with her sister, Saki, and living together in peace. Unfortunately for the sisters, the peace is short lived as players take on the role of either character to embark on dangerous adventures across a vast, zombie-infected city complete with cinematic storytelling, a distinctive combat system, unique character moves, and killer boss battles!

Character Bios

AYA
Nationality: Japanese
Age: 21yrs. Old during X360 version
Body Height: 5 feet 6 inches (168 cm)

Aya is a beautiful female who is proficient in swordplay. Being a descendent of baneful blood, she takes advantage of the skill by making a living as an assassin. Saki, mastermind of the zombie case (occurred somewhere in Tokyo, is her half-blooded younger sister.

Saki is a common student at first glance. However, she too is an assassin who takes on assassination lightly as though it were a part-time job. She also carries “baneful blood” as her half-blooded older sister Aya does. However, Saki is more affected by this blood. That may be why she is so violent, not knowing how to express her feelings. She has a tendency to lose control of herself and get very violent when she sees blood or sharp blades. In the Wii version, a new variation is added to the throwing attacks after grasping an enemy. The cruel Beat Dead Attack when she sheathes her sword is a must-see.
