Senran Kagura: Peach Beach Splash (Japanese: 閃乱カグラ PEACH BEACH SPLASH) is a third-person shooter video game in the Senran Kagura series, published by Marvelous and developed by Tamsoft. It was released for PlayStation 4 on March 16, 2017 in Japan, and will be released in the third quarter of 2017 in North America, Europe and Australia. The game focuses on the Peach Beach Splash water gun tournament, which female ninjas from various factions are invited to, and where the winning team gets any reward they want. Players take the roles of the ninjas, and fight in various kind of game modes, some of which are online multiplayer battles, and some of which are single-player.
The game was produced by Kenichiro Takaki and written by Yukinori Kitajima, with character designs by Nan Yaegashi, and was created to bring everything from the various Senran Kagura games together, to establish a single world that all of it take place in. The plot was written as part of the series' main storyline, as something future games in the series would build upon.
Peach Beach Splash is a third-person shooter in which players control kunoichi (female ninjas) from various games in the Senran Kagura series, using different types of water guns with different abilities: for example, the single hand gun consumes little water, and shoots ricocheting water bullets, and the shower gun continually sprays a short-range water mist. Each water gun has two modes the player can switch between: for instance, the water balloon grenade launcher's balloons can be set to either explode or bounce upon impact, and the sniper rifle can be set to either being powerful with a narrow lock-on range, or half as powerful with a wide lock-on range. In addition to water gun moves, players can use short-range moves that are more difficult to use, but that cause a lot of damage and push the opponent back. Players finish off opponents by activating a Kunekune Finish, in which they soak the opponent in water while aiming at their breasts and buttocks. Battles are fought in different arenas, including beaches, water fronts, and pirate ships.
