Senran Kagura Burst Re:Newal
Senran Kagura Burst Re:Newal is a remake of the original Senran Kabura Burst first released on the Nintendo 3DS in 2012. The game has been revamped in HD with trophy support, and redone as a third-person action game, rather than a 2D side-scroller. The game follows two separate storylines, one for each ninja Academy, with five playable characters in each. Characters have a range of different attacks, as well as special attacks, that can be unlocked as they level-up.
Welcome to the Hanzo Academy, where Asuka, Ikaruga, Katsuragi, Yagyu, and Hibari are high school girls secretly trained in the art of ninjitsu. Their training is suddenly put to the test when they are challenged by rival ninja students belonging to the Hebijo Clandestine Girls’ Academy.
The original Senran Kagura Burst received mixed reviews with an average score of 65%, praised for its fun characters, story, and combat system, though criticized by some for its repetitive gameplay, and viewed as sexist by some Western reviewers.
Like most games in the Senran Kagura series, Burst Re:Newal is an easy Platinum to obtain. The only reason for the 2-star difficult is for the time involved. There are two playthroughs required, one for each of the two Academy storylines, some collectable related trophies, and a number of simple, miscellaneous challenges to complete. For the most part, the game can be played on its easiest level setting. Also, due to the chapter select, there are no missable trophies to worry about.
If you are not text-skipping, the Platinum can be unlocked in 20-25 hours of gameplay.
From the start, you have the option of playing either the Hanzo Academy or Hebijo Academy storyline. It doesn’t matter which you chose in regards to the Platinum, but if you wish to play in order that the original game intended, than start with the Hanzo Academy.
At some point, you will need to play a 2-star mission for the Explosive Ninja trophy, and a 3-star mission for the Top Ninja trophy. These can be done later after your characters have leveled up, in which case you can play all missions on the 1-star, which is the easiest setting.
As you play through, be on the lookout for secret documents, to which there is normally one in each mission. If you miss any, don’t fret. You can use the chapter select later to go back and nab any secret documents you missed. Each mission will also tell you how many you are still missing.
Also, to avoid future grinding, work towards unlocking the Yin Master trophy by using your character in Frantic mode, and the Yang Master trophy for using the Shinobi transformation, as you play through the story. On a side note, if you face any missions that are a bit tough, feel free to replay previous missions with that character to level her up, before trying again.
Once you’ve completed both the Hanzo Academy and Hebijo Academy story playthroughs, it’s time to move onto the Free Missions, which should all be unlocked after finishing the two major storylines. These are separate, shorter missions each focusing on a specific character.
With that finished, you should have a good chunk of the trophies unlocked. Now, it’s simply a matter of collecting all the miscellaneous ones you’re still missing. This may include finding the last of the secret documents for the One Who Knows The Truth trophy, reaching level 50 with a character for the Flawless trophy, or various activities involving the change-room.
