Senran Kagura 2 - Deep Crimson (3DS) price, value & rarity
Korean edition of Marvelous's beat-em-up, a localised offshoot of a niche-audience series uncommon in Korean physical form. The Korean version stands apart through its packaging and stays rarer than the Western editions, on a 3DS market with restricted runs. Desirability rests on this regional confidentiality of a niche title with a strong identity, sought by collectors of the Senran Kagura franchise in Asian editions.
A questionable morality
Behind its ninja-chronicle dressing hides a combat system whose unofficial aim is to shred the young heroines' outfits to ribbons as the blows land. The story talks of honor and loyalty, but the camera clearly has other priorities. You go along with it in good humor, fully aware of the cheerfully owned gap between the noble intentions and the actual spectacle.
