Senran Kagura: Skirting Shadows (閃乱カグラ -少女達の真影- Senran Kagura: Shōjo-tachi no Shinei?) is a side scrolling game and the first game in the Senran Kagura series that was released in Japan for the Nintendo 3DS on September 22, 2011. It was one of the titles credited with improving the financial prospects of Marvelous Entertainment.
The sequel, Senran Kagura Burst: Guren no Shoujotachi (閃乱カグラ Burst -紅蓮の少女達-?), was released in Japan for Nintendo 3DS on August 30, 2012, and was later released digitally on the Nintendo eShop on January 10, 2013. The game was released as a digital release in North America, with the name Senran Kagura Burst, on November 14, 2013 and was released physically and digitally in Europe on February 28, 2014, with an eShop-only release in Australia the same day. The sequel is essentially a remake/rerelease of Senran Kagura: Skirting Shadows, as it included all the content in the original title.
Both Senran Kagura: Skirting Shadows and Senran Kagura Burst are side scrolling "beat-'em-up" action games for the 3DS. The player assumes control of one of five different female ninja characters. The more the game characters are damaged by enemies, the more their clothes are torn off. The information for each character's back story, major plot points, and general information on the universe of Senran Kagura is displayed in what is called the "novel", and is structured similarly to a visual novel. The novel is introduced at major plot points in the game story.
The main gameplay consists of battling through the world of the story. As the game progresses, the player's character levels up and gains new moves and abilities, and in-game content such as art work, achievements, music, costumes (of which there are 180), and new characters are unlocked. The game is split into 5 chapters, with each chapter containing a number of main missions as well as optional missions. Once a story mission is complete, the mission can be played again with any of the unlocked characters. At the end of a mission the player is graded according to the player character's health, attack, and speed in completing the mission.
