In Panty Struggle, the main goal will be to collect as many panties as possible. Attacking opponents will make them drop their collected panties, and it gets closer to the time limit, it will rain panties for players to collect. There will also be special panties such as gold and silver variations, which will give players power-ups. However, the more panties a player acquires, the slower their movement becomes, making it much harder for them to maintain the lead.
Senran Kagura: Shinovi Versus has many customizable clothing options such as: school uniforms, ninja wear, underwear, hairstyles and two slots for accessories.
Players can also take a closer look at the costumes and interact with the characters using the PlayStation Vita touchscreen.
Each character will have their own attribute out of the Yin-Yang System. They will be of either Light, Dark or Neutral attributes. The respective attribute points can be accumulated by fighting in certain styles. Light points are gathered by fighting in school uniforms, Dark points are gained through ninja outfits and the neutral points are boosted by going into Vital Drive mode. Gain enough points to master the attributes to unleash special abilities.
Light – When mastered, the ninja abilities are powered up and the life gauge and recovery rate increases. It’s a good attribute for beginners.
Neutral – Mastering the Neutral attribute makes your character unable to use secret ninjutsu abilities, making boss fights and costume tearing harder, but it will increase the amount of experience and money the player acquires.
Dark – The Dark attribute will increase the player’s attack by three times, when mastered. It will also increase the strength of secret ninjutsu abilities and the limit break attacks used to knock back enemies. It can be a great attribute to master in terms of power, but the defense suffers a 40% drop.
