The stakes may seem a little higher in the narrative than usual for a Marvelous game, but this isn’t the kind of game that you play if you’re looking for a particularly deep storyline. It doesn’t sound too unique, until you learn that the only way you can turn another character into a weapon or be turned into a weapon yourself is through extended intimate physical contact. Imagine the core gameplay of Senran Kagura’s brawling games but with women using other women as their weapons of choice. What makes this virus unique (and serves as the central reason for the ample assets displayed in the game), is the fact that the Armed Virus essentially turns some of its sufferers into weapons. The Armed Virus is an affliction affecting what seems to be random women in Japan, and once someone’s status as a carrier is confirmed, they’re shipped off to a place to be quarantined and cured.

Unsurprisingly, Valkyrie Drive has been generating the same sort of response as its sister series as of late its port from the commercially flagging Vita to the more popular PC explains the number of hot takes that have come out recently about games with bikinis. The closest point of comparison is likely to be the Senran Kagura games, which have received a rather mixed reception at the hands of critics and players alike. If you’ve ever played a Marvelous game before, then it’s going to be obvious how Valkyrie Drive –Bhikkuni– plays out.
