Onechanbara Z2: Chaos is a hack-and-slash game developed by Tamsoft and is part of the zombie slasher series Onechanbara. Compared to the earlier Onechanbara games, Onechanbara Z2: Chaos is faster paced. Aya, Kagura, Saya, and Saki fight alongside each other in the game. You can switch between characters on the fly and set up two character combos called Cross Merge Combinations. All of the girls can temporarily transform by triggering a Dear Drive and to finally execute enemies you do a series of swipes using the PS4′s touch panel.

probably the best oneechanbara game to date which isn't a high bar to clear... by any means... but if you're looking for one to play this would be it
I feel like if u pick this one up on sale it can be a great time. i got most of the unlocks but getting a platinum on this game is kinda impossible if you'd like to actually play other video games in your lifetime. treat it like a musou and pop on some music or a podcast while you play-- switch out your characters often, time your xtasy combos, learn the basic mechanics, and its dumb fun. u can easily get this one out in a weekend. combat is nothing to soy over but there's some pretty cool animations here and there, especially with saaya and saki. don't bother learning the combos seriously just mash square and occasionally throw a triangle in there and you'll be just fine
honestly the highlight of the game is the cosmetics which I've seen like no one mention?! every item can be placed anywhere on a characters body and you can even adjust the scale. tbh I just had fun by giving everyone in my party big shoe mode and censoring the xstacy forms with the toast equip. if I can make my guy look funny its kinda hard for a game to be less than a 3/5 for me IDK.
tldr worth checking out for sure if you like musous. entertaining enough if you pick it up on a sale

Combos are harder than it has any right to be

Fun fact, I used to hate this game honestly. It felt very unfair and annoying to play, then I realized I was just playing it wrong and changed my mindset into actually treating it like a character action game and then it just clicked. 💀
Despite being kinda pervy there is actually some crazy set up here you can pull off and it got pretty fun when you actually tried to put something together ngl lmaooo.

Onechanbara is a franchise I often remember seeing on the shelf at EB Games when I was younger and always being vaguely intrigued by it (which could have to do with the bikinis but thats besides the point). I had played Onechanbara Origin in 2022 for the Platinum trophy and had a decently fun time with it, so I was down to try Z2 Chaos once it went on sale. I'm definitely glad I waited for it be a cheap one because while it is a fun time, there is a lot of jank to be experienced. The combat is enjoyable but does lack depth, especially once you realize your main combo is the most effective, so why would you use anything else. Story wise, it's an Onechanbara game so don't expect much there. I will say the music is probably the biggest highlight, there is a lot of solid tunes throughout Z2, and the transformation themes are the star of the show. The characters are also pretty enjoyable, my favourites specifically being Aya and Kagura, but its an enjoyable cast for the short time you spend with them. Side note regarding preformance, but the game would crash on two specific fights practically every single playthrough, so that was a bit of a fun killer. Would I ever play Z2 Chaos again now that I got the Platinum trophy for it? Probably not, Origin is much more fun experience, but I do think Z2 Chaos does have enough charm to warrant a playthough if you ever find it cheap.
