Babes, blood and bikinis - what more could you ask for? The headline says it all: Oneechanbara Revolution is all about young attractive females running around in teasing outfits hacking and slashing their way through hordes and hordes of undead creatures.
Although the basic premise is pretty simple to say the best, the game gets better and better the more you play it.
The controls take a little time to get used to because it plays more like a rythm game since the more advanced moves are all timing-based. But once you've mastered the controls it's all about level grinding at its finest! There are also tons of unlockables like harder difficulty settings, new moves, new characters and so on. There's even a 2player splitscreen co-op! Something most "modern" games are lacking nowadays.
The different characters have all the same basic moves that are executed the same way but still offer enough uniqueness to make each run a new experience.
Saki for example knows a lot of wrestling moves like throws and grabs that are a lot of fun to kill zombies with (or just rip their arms off) or Reiko who sports a nice collection of firearms like a shotgun or sub-machine gun which makes the game almost feel like a 3rd person shooter ^^
But to all you gorehounds out there: The japanese version has purple/pink blood instead of red! It doesn't affect gameplay in any way (in fact, I like it slightly better than the red blood of the western version since it better fits the overall humoristic look & feel of the game) but I thought it should be mentioned.
All in all this is A GREAT game that will keep you coming back for more once you get the hang of it!

What about Lisa? Run around extremely bland environments in skimpy outfits and hack up hundreds of zombies, same old Oneechanbara! Except with uh, motion controls!
