    The fanservice is censored. There is a black void when you pause the game and in photo mode to prevent panty shots, and you are prevented from zooming in too close to the characters in photo mode.

    The translation is censored as well, throughout the entire game. Terms like "高校生" (high school student) are translated as "Gen Z" and as "21st Century Woman." There is even an entire conversation about "Gen Z," "Gen X," "Millennials," and "Boomers" that's not in the original Japanese, which has gotten a lot of attention due to how cringy it is.

    The gameplay is slow and feels sluggish. The visual novel segments drag on forever. The PS5 version somehow has performance issues, which is an impressive feat given that it is not exactly at the cutting edge of graphics. The music is solid, but it's not enough to make up for the fact that the game is lacking in pretty much every other aspect.    … Expand

    Another post-woke, fake ecchi game with negligible fan service and annoying censorship. Once again, a prime example of CCP style censorship under the thin veil of moral guardianship. Violent games don't make violent people, pervy games don't make predators. Stop pretending that artistic restriction is protecting anyone.

    I thoroughly enjoyed SAMURAI MAIDEN's combat with its wealth of skills and charming cast of lovely ladies. However, it does have its issues, especially if you want to take photos of the characters' panties because you'll end up incredibly disappointed.

    Every time you use your partners’ skills, your relationship with them rises. They're pleasantly designed in a way that means you don't have ton rely on them, acting more as stun mechanics. In addition, these attacks help mask the game's numerous frame rate dips. Sadly, these drops, alongside your main character's stiff attacks, make Samurai Maiden's encounters much more frustrating than they should be.

    SAMURAI MAIDEN mixes two completely opposite genres (action and visual novel) and fails to excel in either one. It is a weak, boring game with awful graphics, bad music, unresponsive controls and a monotonous story. The character models are very nice and the action is a little pleasing after evolving a lot and unlocking different moves, but it's not worth it.
