Onechanbara is a brawler franchise that started life back in 2004 with Zombie Zone and we all kind of hoped it ended in 2008 with Onechanbara: Bikini Zombie Slayers for the Wii. D3 Publisher doesn’t give up easily, though, so now we have Onechanbara Z2: Chaos coming to the PS4 this October.
The overarching story of this series is completely irrelevant, since the focus is quite obviously on gathering a variety of scantily-dressed female warriors and having them slay hordes of touchy zombies and bosses. It has always been a somewhat mediocre 3D brawler franchise, but it has an audience.
One question that looms over us now is whether or not Onechanbara is still relevant, now that the Highschool of the Dead anime & manga has become the go-to avenue for animated girls in sexy outfits slashing through zombies. Still, with 1080p and 60fps supporting the game, perhaps D3 Publisher can win back some popularity with this new entry.
